Ummm, no sir, this food isn't ours, but we just decided to eat it anyway.... WHAT?!

Imagine yourself eating out. You place your order, get your drink, and then find a table at which you wait for your order number to be called. When you hear your number, you arise from your seat and go to the counter to pick up your food. When you return to your table, you realize that the food on the tray does not match the order you placed......Here is where you pick your own ending...

YOU

a: return to the counter and straighten out the fact that you have received the wrong meal

or,

b: you decide that it really doesn't matter, that even if someone else is waiting for this order, you are going to eat it anyway

This weekend, while eating out, I witnessed firsthand, someone making this very decision.

THEY CHOSE B

Yes, they received the wrong meal, and knew it wasn't theirs...but still decided to eat it anyway.

It was quite humorous really. We were sitting in the back dining room of this local restaurant, when the owner came back to ask if everyone had their food. He had been calling the order number numerous times, with no response from anyone picking it up. We had already received our meal, and were just still there chatting. Another family was eating, and the 3rd party was sitting with their drinks and no meal. It seems that the number 7 meal was never picked up,(this belonged to the family already eating) do you see the problem here? A family is eating, but didn't pick up their meal. Whose food was it??????

They had picked up the number 6 order, realized it wasn't theirs, and decided hmmm, oh well, we are hungry, we shall eat it anyway. REALLY??????? This scenario was way funny to watch, as the owner asked: Is this your meal??? Um no sir, and that isnt our salad either...hehehehe....I think it was even funnier that they were sitting right next to the table of people whose food they had snatched....lol

Eventually both families were fed, with one family not receiving the correct order(because they had grabbed the wrong one), and the ones who got jipped received a freshly cooked order when it was determined that theirs was stolen...lol

kudos to a restaurant owner for quickly resolving the issue, and making sure everyone was happy.....including those who didn't care what they ate, as long as they were fed....lol
