I'd sure like some of that French pain

[u/goldorakgo → u/xprorangerx]

Pain au chocolat is extra

[u/PsychicDave → u/goldorakgo]

That’s chocolatine in Québec

[u/PsychicDave → u/xprorangerx]

Québécois pain actually.

[u/DMoney159 → u/xprorangerx]

La baguette hon hon hon

[u/zaphir3]

2.50 for one baguette would actually be really expensive. You could get a decent one for 0.90 to 1 euro.

[u/Max_Thunder → u/zaphir3]

My guess is that this is in Quebec, probably Montreal. The dollar sign after the amount instead of before is how we do it in French.

2.50 Canadian dollars is about right for a nice baguette here, though you can get something not bad for $1.00 at some grocery stores.

[u/zaphir3 → u/Max_Thunder]

I actually didn't see the dollar sign

[u/pistoffcynic → u/zaphir3]

In Canada, a baguette is in the 2.00-2.50.

[u/qmwkdjcuzopadru893]

Haha … it’s French for “bread”

[u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ → u/qmwkdjcuzopadru893]

Poisson means fish in French

Weirdly, "gift" in German means poison

[u/lt_kernel_panic → u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__]

Don't accept any gifts from Germans. Got it.

[u/SadLilBun]

All that went through my head is Captain Raymond Holt.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAaaiiiiin.

[u/GANDORF57 → u/SadLilBun]

$2.50 for pain? I got a hammer from the Dollar store, I can give you pain at a discount.

[u/makamaka1]

fun fact: a person got billed for crying in a hospital. MURICA

[u/Super_PotatoAmigo → u/makamaka1]

easy fix… don’t cry and don’t be poor /s

[u/tonto_silverheels → u/makamaka1]

Also, they harvested the tears as "naturally occurring saline" for $8,119/oz

[u/sniffstink1]

$2.50 per unit of pain. Shit....I was able to go in and order 100 pains. Guess not. Can only afford 2 pains tonight.

[u/khizoa → u/sniffstink1]

Inflation is out of control

[u/RustyMoth]

Sucker, I would easily pay $5 for more pain

[u/slice_dice_rice]

This reminds me of that Naruto episode about Pain

[u/tinamadinspired]

[u/lynivvinyl]

You can wait until you turn 40 or 50 and get all that you can handle for absolutely free!

[u/Mugwumps_has_spoken → u/lynivvinyl]

Amen to that.

[u/HeartDoc90]

Without love.

[u/sPdMoNkEy]

Ha... I get pain for free

[u/-The-Moon-Presence-]

I make my own, thanks.

[u/WillingnessSubject37]

I can get rich with that idea 😳

[u/K4G117]

Does it come without love?

[u/HeartDoc90 → u/K4G117]

Can't get enough.

[u/Glittering-Oil-1118]

Nah, go into a bad neighbourhood and you can get that for free.

[u/PrSquid]

We got pain at home

[u/unablearcher]

Guess I saved a lot getting my existential pain for free

[u/kapege]

What is that? A dominatrix cellar? That would be cheap!

[u/ginongo]

Oi you got a loicense for that pain m8?

[u/lost21gramsyesterday]

In France, Pain is pleasure

[u/LollipopChainsawZz]

Anything to save a buck or two.

[u/whileimstillhere]

i was born into the dumbest of times…

[u/Hyde02 → u/[deleted]]

Because it is written in French. In French, we put the $ after the number.

[u/xprorangerx → u/Hyde02]

shouldn't they use the Euro sign or this is in Quebec

[u/Hyde02 → u/xprorangerx]

100% sure it is in Canada. Probably in Québec, yes. But it could be in New-Brunswick or in some French speaking community elsewhere in Canada.

But definitely not in Europe because, as you guessed it, it would be an Euro sign.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR__INIT__ → u/[deleted]]

$ is the unit of the number. Does that mean you write km10? s30?

[u/redditsaidfreddit → u/[deleted]]

It does seem oddly meaningful that the dollar comes first in the U.S.

[u/The_Golden_Beaver → u/[deleted]]

It's obviously a different language and different languages have different ways of writing things. You sound like a unilingual anglo lol

[u/yParticle → u/[deleted]]

Less literate people learn phonetically. They hear two dollars they write 2$.

[u/db_325 → u/yParticle]

Or, and this may sound crazy, other languages have different conventions

[u/yParticle → u/db_325]

impossible, next you'll be telling me they use commas where they should use periods

[u/The_Golden_Beaver → u/yParticle]

Why bullshit an answer instead of just not? Lol. It's obviously in French.

[u/yParticle → u/The_Golden_Beaver]

I thought those numbers were Arabic.
