The Price of the Food Stays the Same....

One time a young woman wanted to order a special pasta dish that most people came into our restaurant for. She looked at me and asked, "If I take the chicken out of the pasta it will be cheaper right?" Now I had the option of trying to explain to her the whole drawn out reason as to why it would not change and maybe give her the option of substituting the chicken for something else in the kitchen, but as I stared at the blank ignorant look on her face with way too much makeup on I realized 1/4 of my explanation would make it past her thick skull. So I elected to respond with , "No sorry the price will stay the same." She rolled her eyes continued to play with her hair and settled on a salad, which had chicken in it!!!!
