Revenge Is Often Sweet

I worked at a high-end steak house for years. I live in the South, so when someone orders tea, you ask them if they want sweetened or unsweetened tea.

I was waiting on a table of four businessmen, and I went to take their drink order. All ordered a drink from the bar, and three of the four wanted water, as well. The other gentleman ordered tea.

Me: “Sweet or unsweet?”

Customer: “Just as sweet as you are, sugar.”

Ugh, gross. So, I brought him an unsweetened tea.

Me: “Here. It’s just as sweet as I am.”

The look on his face when he sipped it was priceless. The laughter from his colleagues when they figured it out was also priceless.

And my tip? About fifty percent and more than $100. Not bad for a four-top!

Honestly, they were a fun group, and I’m glad we could all get a laugh!
