But it's free

A funny thing happened over Memorial Day weekend (I know...I've neglected this blog).

We were with a group of friends eating out at an unmentioned popular steakhouse. I ordered a bloomin' onion & a wedge salad. The waiter brought me a wedge salad & a slab of roast. I told him I didn't order the roast....He said, "Well, don't worry about it...I won't charge you for the steak!" I looked at him & said, "But I don't want it at all...I'm a vegetarian." He apologized & immediately took it back.
My friends thought I was crazy...b/c one of them would have gladly taken the bullet for me & gobbled it down.

However, honesty is always the best policy. The manager came out with my correct order, apologized again, and said the bill was on her that night. So, I enjoyed my lovely meal...with smiles all around.
