I was coming around the corner, trying to find a restaurant for lunch (ended up being out of…read morebusiness, alas) when my battery ran out. No problem, I thought, as I reached for my spare battery. Unfortunately, I had forgotten the connecting cord, and since I still had another 5-6 hours in Dijon until I would head back to my room nearly an hour away, going without my phone wasn't a possibility, especially as I had at least one call I needed to take in the afternoon.
I went into the closest convenience store, looking for a cord. He only sold a package which included the cord, the adapter, and a car adapter as well. I tried at first to only buy the cord, but he said 15€, when the entire package was 20€. I saw the tactic and rather than bargain the cord down to 10€ I just took the whole thing for 20€. Better to have an extra adapter anyway.
Nice guy - clean shop.
