Bountiful harvest

I had lunch with Alan and Melanie yesterday. We ate at Spring Street Natural. I ordered the tempeh burger, Alan the taco salad. Melanie ordered the portobello burger, then changed her order to the salmon salad. The waitress said the salmon was served cold, and Melanie said she knew. Then she changed her mind and decided to order the portobello burger.

When our food arrived, the server put the salmon salad in front of Melanie. We were talking and didn't notice. She started eating and realized it wasn't what she ordered. "It's too late now," said Alan. "You've already started eating it." She shrugged and said it was fine.

Minutes later, a waiter brought a portobello burger. Melanie said she already had her food and apologized that she might have confused the waitress by changing her order. Alan told the waiter to put it on the table. Melanie said she didn't want it. Alan said he was starving. I said they'd probably throw it away anyway. She asked the waiter; he nodded noncommittally. He set the plate down. And so I ended up eating a burger and too many french fries. Posted by eku at March 10, 2005 9:33 AM
