Hold the phone just a sec... First, like I said before, if I gotta axx for a replacement - or that it be taken off the bill - then screw it, it aint worth it. That should have been volunteered by the restaurant from the very gitgo.

And I wasnt mad, the reason for the stare down is that I was trying to convey to the server that a $2.95 dessert wasnt acceptable and I was waiting to hear what else she would offer. Her return silence and stare down was her way of saying she wasnt going to offer anything more than a $2.95 dessert.

And he who speaks first loses.
