It pays to be nice

Jump to Comments

My friend (Rahash) and I, went to a movie today, The invisible. It sucked. Some parts were nice, but the most part of it was just lame So naturally, after we were done, we head over to Lorenzo or Lorenzino for dinner. I ordered chicken cream soup (yummy), gnocchi with cream, and Rahash ordered the club sandwhich. I usually have gnocchi at Nino’s but I was up for a change today. It was amazing! Really really delicious, just the right texture, perfect amount of cream and cheese. So I was munching away when I bit on a really hard piece of cheese. I kept biting and biting but it just wouldn’t melt. So I spit it out Now Rahash, being the faithful friend that she is, started to inspect this piece of hard cheese. She poked and poked at it till it unraveled into an amazing piece of plastic wrapper. About 5 cm in length, and 2 cm wide. I felt really nauseous and felt tears welling up in my eyes. No really – I was about to cry. So we called the manager, he wasn’t very helpful. He just said whoa, when Rahash showed him the plastic. He asked if we wanted something else, we said no, and that we weren’t going to pay for this. “Of course, it’s complimentary” said the manager. So the waiter removed the stuff from our table and after much debate whether we should ask for a bill or not, we got up and left. We reached Gap when the waiter came running after us and said that the manager needs to speak to us. We were really shocked, so we went back. Manager tells us that the gnocchi is complimentary, not the whole bill. Had he made that clear, we would’ve happily paid before.
Rahash: You call yourself a high quality restaurant?
Manager: Only the gnocchi had a problem.
Vixen: *wells up with tears*
Rahash: *raises voice* You are amazing. Can I have the number of ur manager please?
Manager: *raises voice* it’s ok , you don’t have to pay.
Rahash: It’s really rude sending the waiter after us. You should be ashamed.
*Rahash and Vixen walk away*
*Rahash and Vixen walk all the way to Carrefour*
*Rahash and Vixen walk back to Lorenzino, feeling bad*
Rahash: Ahhmm , excuse me, this is your bill and the money, I’m sorry for overeacting, I feel bad.
Manager: No it’s completely understandable, you were worried about your friend.
Vixen: *grins*Rahash: Thank you, you’re gonna see us again for sure.
Manager: tsharfoona, any complimentary sweets?
Rahash: No thanx
*Rahash and Manager shake hands*
*Rahash and Vixen can sleep happy*
