Free breakfasts hurt feelings
( 2003-11-11 17:18) (China Daily)
French wholesaler Carrefour's Quyang Store, which has been offering 500 free
breakfasts daily, may have inadvertently insulted its Chinese patrons, Oriental
Morning Post reports.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, the store has been handing out 500 free
breakfasts every morning at 8:30, drawing queues stretching for more than 100
metres in front of the store.
But some locals were offended when salespeople from the store recorded the
scene on film.
A source with the store replied that the filming tapes would not be released
for any other reason.
