How to Teach a Cafeteria Cashier a Lesson

Pencil blog by Brandon on 23 June 2008, tagged as humor

Speaking of George Carlin, I just ate in my office cafeteria for the first time. Noticing a sign listing the "maximum price" for the salad bar as $7.99, I loaded up a large container with salad and two smaller containers with sides. The checkout lady tried to charge me nearly $16, however, informing me it all had to be in one container. "I don't want the two smaller containers, then," I told her - and she promptly threw the extra food in the trash and rang me up again for just $8.

Suprising. And very lame.

I mean, hasn't she ever heard of a "lose-lose" situation? Or, better yet, doesn't she know about those starving people in China (and then Africa) who would love to eat those neatly packaged cucumber and potato salads?

My plan for next time is to stuff a single container with more food than she can possibly imagine. That'll teach her ... or maybe you can come up with something better?
