"we spoke up for him"

Yes it's normal here, they also do it with Thais as very few can do calulations in their heads and that's why you see the change on the cash register so only drunks get screwed, lol.

That reminds me of the time that I gave a Thai lady friend a maths sub-traction to do----had no idea really --just guessing--then gave her the same again -and added the word "baht" to the numbers---the correct answer came back in a nano -second

Try it out yourself guys
