AUCKLAND -- Okay so admittedly I have trouble understanding a lot of Americans too, but its been rough so far.
Here is my first conversation with a guy at McDonald's this morning:
GUY: Can I help you?
ME: Can I get Hotcakes, a hash brown and a coffee?
GUY: White or black?
ME: Black.
GUY: (not sure)
ME: What?
GUY: (not sure)
At this point I just handed the guy $10 NZ. At which point I think he noticed my greenbacks in my bill fold.
GUY: Is that American money?
ME: Ya.
GUY: Can I buy some off you.
Me: Sure.
He then gave me a $5 NZ for two George Washington's. I also gave him the spare change in my pocket.
GUY: Cheers.
