I found this interesting news item in a Bangladeshi Bangla newspaper. Rafiqul Islam, a tea seller in Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka normally sells a cup of tea for 3 Taka (1 Us dollar= 70/71 taka) but if you are an Argentina supporter, he will not take more than 2 taka from you. In his tea stall, he has a black and white television set and every night, many rickshaw pullers, street vendors and labors gather together to enjoy world cup matches. His business is going very well and normally in Bangladesh in such cases shopkeepers increase the price of their products to cash in to the growing demand. Thus, Rafiqul Islam is a bright exception and whoever comes to his tea stall and informs that he is supporter of Argentina in World Cup Football 2006, Rafiqul Islam gives 33% discount. He does not investigate whether you really support Argentine football team or not but he gives you 33% discount. There is no gimmick but it came from pure passion for football.
So, if you are an Argentina supporter then consider making a trip to the tea stall of Rafiqul Islam in Dhaka and drink tea 33% cheaply as much as you want and let me know your experience.
interesting
