First of all, I love all Chinese I have yet to meet one I didn't like in some way shape or form. Now the story, I walked into this one Chinese restaurant one time not sure what I really wanted, and I had never been to this place before but I smelled good food and thought about giving it a chance. So, I go in ask for a menu to see what they had any of my favorites on there and I hear the host, yes I was learning Chinese shortly before this, talking to one of the servers and both of them were middle aged gawdy dressed Chinese women. One of them said to the other, "Watch I bet 50 dollars....." yes, she seriously said 50 Dollars, " he is just going to look at the menu and leave." LOL I couldn't help myself I decided to stay just to make her look dumb and when I did, she had the most embarrassed look on her face that I had ever seen in my life. Talk about being caught with her foot in her mouth and it turned out she was my waitress. I didn't smile or anything like that I already knew she lost face in front of her friend, so I ordered my food in English, it was a good meal, and I was cordial and polite. I waited until the very end when I started speaking Chinese to her which not only shocked her but now she knew I overheard her talking to her friend. She retreated back into the kitchen after that and sent someone else to collect the tip. Like I said I have yet to meet one I didn't like and I am sure she learned a lesson about people after that but I definitely enjoyed surprising her like that.
