[Finished pumping gas. Walk into the gas station to pay.]

1: [I notice the young attendant’s name tag: “Karran”. It’s an opportunity to bust out my Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu. Let’s see what happens…]

1: [smiling] Karran sahib! Kiya haal hai sir!
2: [Smiles back] Bilqul baddiya. App sunnao?
1: Good, good, good.
2: Please just scan your points card.
BEEP.
2: That will be $58.32
[After the transaction]
1: Aur sir? Sab teek?
2: Buss shanti ho. Shanti. [smile]
