prepared food by-the-pound lunch time places.
they have a special; after 3:30pm all the food is half-off.
i walk in at 3:13 and see that all the food is not fresh at all. i still bought a plate and approached the counter thinking they about to let me slide today. i know it's not 3:30 yet, and i also think i remember getting the same deal at around a little before three thirty.
but that memory is fuzzy.
but today, i'm still convinced im gonna get a hook up.
she doesn't budge - she claims its policy and all that, and im standing in front of her - incredulously. i couldn't believe she didn't want to hook it up.
so i adamantly stand at the counter like, fine - i'll wait this shit out, and she's gonna see how ridiculous this whole time thing is. especially. off of like 10 minutes at this point.
bla bla bla. i call the manager out, lay my case out for him. he looks at me like me like nah - you not getting the hook up. we go back and forth for a while. i try to explain to him that at this point the food is old and thus trash, you might as well be thanking me or wanting to buy it.
he still didn't budge. i slam the food and storm out.
...
i went back the next day. did a lap around the hot bar and didn't buy anything. but i would've - if it looked good.
