La Vie En Rose for 2006 April 1

Susie and I ordered desserts to go from Applebees. We argued about the music on the way over and ended up listening to Disney music so we could sing along. The girl who came out to give us our blondies was super-nice and said "Are you guys listening to Disney music? My best friend and I have all of those downloaded on my computer, I thought we were the only ones who did that."

I had signed the receipt and handed it back to her when I realised--the bill was for 9.86 and I'd rounded up, but I hadn't rounded up very much. By then it was too late to do anything. "You're not supposed to leave them a very big tip, just like a dollar," Susie said reassuringly. "It wasn't a dollar," I muttered. Susie suggested we call and compliment her to the manager to make up for it. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed right away. It was the same girl who aswered the phone. "She's going to tell them we gave her a fourteen cent tip!" I wailed after Susie asked to speak to the manger, "to compliment one of her employees." "I'm a horrible person!"
