Moments associated with living in the USA - 1

This happened to me last time I was here on holiday....
I was needing to get a key for the house cut and couldn't seem to find a place anywhere saying "Key Cutting" and there's no handy "Mr Minute" shops around like I am used to so next thing, when I am driving past a shop with a window sign "everything to do with doors and windows is here" so I stop and take in my key to be cut. "Oh no, we do sell locks but, no, we don't do key cutting - you'll have to go next door to the lumber-yard" . Lumber yard??? (not hardware store) so off I go and sure enough, the very cheery man cuts my key for 75c and to top it off sends me off down the back to the free popcorn machine to help myself to as much as I want!!

I guess they would find it just as bizarre to have to go to a 'shoe repairs' shop in NZ, Aust or the UK for key cutting...
