e-mart thinks i'm fat

e-mart is our local walmart/targetish one stop shop. it's big and convenient and there are free samples galore. it also feels like there is an employee for every customer in the store. if you have a question, just turn around and you will find a bevy of eager ajumas longing to show you the way to the best shampoo deal. if you don't have a question, it's ok. they still have answers for you. i like e-mart for their cute stickers and stationary. korea is a very cutesy place, and anyone who knows me knows that i'm into "cute". they also have fun deals like buy batteries and get a free pack of moist towelettes. or get a free can of spam with your laundry detergent. i don't like e-mart because they really don't want me to buy desserts. i tried to buy an ice cream bar and one of the million employees told me i couldn't. jared tried to buy donuts once, and again we were denied. today, i was so excited to buy a bag of mini twix bars. no dice. the cashier said something to me in korean, smiled, and slowly placed the bars underneath the register. i can't figure it out. i have gained some weight since coming here, but damn...
