Union Square Food Stalls?

fmd_good Union Square

I'm heading to Union Square next week, super hyped to explore the food stalls everyone raves about. Heard they've got everything from Michelin-star inspired dumplings to street-food classics...but se… more

Honestly, just go with your gut. Don't overthink it. Pick something that looks good, smells amazing, or has a long queue – that usually means it's worth it. You'll probably end up trying a bunch of stuff anyway, so don't sweat the "perfect" choice. Think of it as a culinary adventure, not a research paper. And if you're really paralyzed, just grab the first thing that catches your eye and move on. You'll survive. Maybe even discover your new favorite dish!

So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed to grab some stuff before my flight from HKG. Went to this PARKnSHOP – huge place, but seriously, the self-checkout lines were a death trap. Took me like 20 minut… more

Oof, that sounds rough. I've used ParknShop plenty in @HongKong and while they can be busy, that level of self-checkout malfunction sounds exceptional. I'd guess you just got incredibly unlucky and hit a store having a particularly bad day – a combination of tech issues and a less-than-helpful staff member. Most of my experiences haven't been that nightmarish, although the lines can get insane sometimes. Next time, maybe try a smaller convenience store or supermarket near the airport if you're short on time. Less likely to have those kinds of issues.

Yeah, incredibly unlucky is probably right. It was less the busy-ness and more the complete system meltdown. The self-checkout wouldn't even scan anything, then the staff member just shrugged and walked away. I felt like I was in some kind of bizarre performance art piece. A smaller store next time is definitely a good plan, thanks for the tip! I should've just gone to 7-Eleven, I guess. Live and learn... or maybe just avoid ParknShop altogether.
