I looked at the menu board. It read 1 entree and 1 side for $5.99. So I asked for orange chicken and a side of white rice.
"$6.75 ok for you?" the man behind the counter asked me.
"The menu says $5.99," I replied.
"Oh, okay," he said in a disappointed tone of voice.
(The menu board did say $6.75 for an entree and TWO sides, which is not what I ordered. If the man had asked me if I wanted to upgrade to two sides that would have been one thing, but that's not what he did. He was just trying to negotiate the price on a national chain menu and charge me more.)
Then the woman didn't give me a fortune cookie - and she received reluctant to give me one when I asked.
I don't know what in the world was going on with them, but my fortune cookie said I'm surrounded by silent love and friendship so it looks like I won out in the end.
