Sudden Silence
Despite being the loudest table in the bar all evening, sudden silence resonated from within the group. The other tables found themselves waiting a longer than usual time, because the waitress wasn’t able to process this group’s payment. The card was declined! The luxury card which had been so boasted about was not as such anymore. At the request of the man, it was run once, twice even three times. Every time the card was declined and the waitress was losing her patience.
Alternative Actions
After many tried and failed transactions, the waitress had no choice other than to call over the manager. The panicked man declared that he could cover the bill and not to worry. The man pulled a bag from under the table, removing from it a plastic grocery bag. A jingle sound came from the bag, surprising all the staff. The bag was full of coins. The man’s new plan was to pay the bill using a bag of coins! Unbelievable!
