Day 113 - Dinner Hostage
Apr. 23rd, 2010 11:35 pmSo for the last few weeks, I've been refusing to go to dinner on the grounds that I don't have any money. Which is true. This annoyed my boss so greatly that she advanced me money, so I could take her to dinner. Yeah, she can't advance me money when I need to pay my bills but when it's for her, no problem.
So last week, we went to dinner. She's on Jenny Craig so for some reason this means she can only eat out at certain places. A Jenny rule or a boss rule? I don't know. Anyway, we went Greek. Which came to forty six dollars with the tip. Tonight, we went to Chinese. But not to the REASONABLE Chinese place, no, we went to the fancy Chinese restaurant. Where of course, the prices are more expensive.
The first thing she does is insult all Chinese restaurants by loudly stating she would like vegetables but none of that CHINESE STUFF. The host was so good. If it had been me, I'd have been all, well madam, perhaps you might like to RELOCATE YOURSELF TO A NON CHINESE RESTAURANT THEN! Then, because the food is so expensive, she only orders two dishes, won ton soup and some beef chop suey WITH NONE OF THAT CHINESE STUFF!
Fortunately, the won ton soup was the kind with veggies and meat in it so it was quite filling. If we'd gone to the regular Chinese restaurant, we'd have gotten twice as much food for the same price. The bill, when is comes, is thirty two dollars. She leaves a two dollar tip.
This is why I HATE going to dinner with her. She always manages to work it so that she pays less than I do.
