(The high-end restaurant I work at offers a hefty discount to serving military or military veterans. A couple comes in, the man in an army uniform. I notice something off about the man’s ribbons and notify the restaurant owner (who is a veteran). He goes over to the couple’s table.)
Owner: “Good evening. Welcome to [Restaurant]. I’m the owner, [Owner]. I just wanted to come over and thank you for your service. Would you two like a glass of wine on the house?”
Man: *obviously pleased at the recognition* “Sure, thanks.”
Owner: “Or would you prefer a soft drink? I know alcohol doesn’t stand up to the super-soldier serum very well.”
Man: “What?”
Owner: “Well, by your ribbons there, I see you served in Vietnam. You don’t look a day older than 30, so my guess would be super-soldier serum, right?”
Man: *now bright red* “Uh…”
Owner: “Only explanation for it, considering that impersonating a military officer is worth three years in prison, and no one would be f***-witted enough to do that for a discounted meal, right?”
Woman: *absolutely enraged* “You lying f****** a**hole!”
(The man bolted out without his date. The owner gave the woman a free meal and a couple of desserts to take home, and one of the wait staff gave her a ride home.)
