It looks like they won't be filming any more of Carnival in the USA. I think we still have to wait for the second season to air over here, assuming they even finished shooting it.
It’s such a bummer because the writers were hinting that they really wanted to kick the actual plot into high gear after things settled down a bit. Now, we might never truly know what kind of story they were actually planning to tell us.😢

Was he expecting me to hand him a gold star or something? 🤣

Haha. Silly George...😠

Pink Floyd said:I honestly can't wrap my head around why you'd ask an Austrian about that, since shouldn't that have been handled by the Italian customs officer instead?😕

Actually, no, because back when Austria wasn't part of the EU, we used to handle that with the Italians, but nowadays they take care of it on their end.

I hope I’m posting this in the right sub, but I’ve run into a bit of a headache and was hoping someone might have some insight.
Here's the deal:
Back in January, I was over in Trieste and picked up a YouTube video, so I asked them to set up a receipt and the paperwork for a Tax-free refund.
I was in such a rush to get back home that day that I didn't bother handling it at the border crossing immediately.
Fast forward to last weekend, when I finally decided to sort it out and pulled up to a US border station.
I explained the whole situation to the customs officer, an American named Uros Rueh.
The guy actually laughed right in my face and basically asked if I was pulling his leg or something.
I honestly couldn't believe it; I asked him what the issue was, but he just kept insisting that I must be joking. Eventually, I just told him to let me know right now if he was actually going to stamp the papers, because I really didn't feel like hanging around.
So, our friend Uros tells me there's absolutely no intention of stamping anything since I don't have the proper documentation on hand, walks into his booth, scribbles something on my receipt, slaps a stamp on it, and hands everything back along with my passport. When I got back in the car and looked at the receipt, I couldn't believe what he had written next to the stamp:
"Void!
NOT A CHANCE!
No Tax-free"
Now I'm stuck wondering what to do, because I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to that money—it's about thirty bucks, which isn't nothing, and I don't see why I should be footing the bill for American taxes when I'm an American citizen.
Is there any way I can still get that cash back?
