Very “A La Smart”

I wasn’t here to observe this directly, but I was later told about a woman on a road trip with her husband, who entered the restaurant.

Woman: “I want to order the breakfast special, but it comes with eggs, which I don’t want.”

Server: “If you order it without the eggs, it’ll cost more, because you’d be ordering a la carte. 

Woman: “Okay, I’ll have the breakfast special anyway.”

Server: “How do you want your eggs?”

Woman: “Raw, and in the shell.”

The server brought her two whole eggs, which she carefully packed in her purse. She ate what she wanted, and she wasn’t charged extra for “a la carte.”
