This guy might be Korean, I think to myself as I step out of my car at the car wash.
I'm 65% sure he's Korean.
The guy gets in my car and drives it up to the car wash entrance. I watch from the indoor corridor through the windows.
I head to the front to pay and to my surprise, the cashier is also asian. I quickly assume she and the earlier guy are married and own the place.
I'm 90% she's Korean, after looking at her close.
I pay with credit card and she gives me a get-5-car-washes-get-1-free card, and on it I see she's scribbled the date or her name or something in Korean on the first line.
There's my confirmation.
"Thank you," I say in Korean.
She looks at me a little surprised. "Ohh, you're Korean," she asks in Korean.
"I don't speak it well, but yeah."
"Oh goodness, we usually charge half for Korean customers. Here I thought you were Chinese."
She gives me a pink card and tells me to bring it in next time for a free car wash.

This is probably the biggest jackpot I've hit in awhile.
