Q: Have you ever seen an express line in China?

In the grocery store?  If not could it even work here?  I think people would abuse it to no end but I am so sick of waiting 30 minutes to buy beer and eggs behind people with full carts in the same line.

Of course people would abuse it. I would know, I worked in a grocery store for 6 years. People back home already abuse it, I don't even want to imagine how bad it could be here. I mean, can the cashiers even say no to the customers, and would they listen? Probably not. A lot of people think "express" means that the lane is somehow special, and would be faster than a regular lane. But it's only faster if everyone has a small amount of items. Otherwise it takes just as long, if not longer, because the counter is smaller and people are slow to pick up their stuff.

 

Sorry dude, you're just going to have to wait. Try to go when it's the least busy, if that's possible. Anything that requires patience and organization of the masses is probably going to fail, and that's not necessarily just in China.

Forward Question

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
