Meanwhile, At the Gaslight Restaurant...


"Here's your check, folks! Thanks for coming!"

*Looks at check*

"Excuse me, miss?"

"Yes?"

"This seems to be another person's check. And it's for $673.44"

"No, that's the correct check. You're table 8."

"But I only ordered a salad for lunch. This check lists Ossobuco and a bottle of 1995 Chateau Pontet-Canet Pauillac for $480."

"Yes, I hope you enjoyed that Bordeaux. I told you it was full bodied and fruity!"

"But you didn't. And I didn't have any wine for lunch. This is all a mistake. Could I speak to your manager?"

"You already did. And you told her you would pay for your bill. You don't remember?"

"I did?"

"Yep. Will you be paying with Visa or Mastercard?"

"...Uh, Mastercard, I guess..."
