January Incident

I’m sure most of you have been to a Sushi restaurant before right? Sushi King, Sakae Sushi etc. You know how they have all those different types of sushi parading on the conveyor belt in the middle of the restaurant in Sushi King (I’m not sure if the other restaurants have that or not) are all different in price right?

So at the beginning of the year, me and a few of my friends went to have lunch there and of course we saw all those food passing by us on the conveyor belt as we were seated right beside it. So we helped ourselves to it.

After eating happily and paying for the meal, we divided the bill. I assumed we were going pro rata since it’s the easiest way to settle it. It’s ridiculous to ask everybody ‘which plate did you eat from just now?’ and count it like that. It’s so tedious and inaccurate.

So I simply took the full amount (minus our individual orders) and divided with the total number of people we had in our group. Then when I presented the figures to them, one of them said ‘so much? I didn’t eat a lot just now.’

Then it hit me, this person wanted to go Dutch. OMG!!! I’m sorry to those who are offended but that is just STUPID. I mean, come on man, did you know that because of her statement we had to rewind our memory and think of which plate we ate from and then match them to the prices, and then divide it.

Let’s get real, if you agreed with the idea of having lunch in a Sushi restaurant (which more often than not is quite pricy), you must have mentally prepared yourself to spend more than usual.
