We just wanted veggie lo mein...
| So tonight we ordered from our favorite Chinese delivery place, Beijing, and, as usual, Simon wanted some veggie lo mein, so we ordered a quart. Since our order was over $20 we got a free pint of veggie fried rice, which Emma demonstrates. But they sent us not only a pint of veggie fried rice, but a quart too. But no veggie lo mein. So we called and explained the mistake and they said they'd send a quart of veggie lo mein right away. The delivery guy arrived in about 20 minutes and I greeted him at the door and said, "This must be the veggie lo mein," and he shrugged and said, "I guess." I brought it in and Emma said, "Wouldn't it be funny if this was more veggie fried rice?" It was. So, I called and explained again, through fits and giggles, and they said we have a credit with them for a free quart of veggie lo mein sometime, but they couldn't get one out to us right away. It's all kind of ridiculous, but we're having a good laugh about it anyway. |

That's hilarious, but what's so great is that instead of getting cranky about it you take pictures and laugh and post. A good lesson for all. Thanks, Ironic1.

This is what happens when diners assume they know what they want.
Fortunately, Beijing was intuitive enough to know what you *really* wanted, and give you that instead.
