Here's a picture of a lunch at IKEA. The reason I took this picture was to remind myself of how proud I was of this meal. Before I got in line, I knew I only had a five dollar bill and a one. But my coworker was with me, so I figured if it ran over, I could borrow. I picked out a dessert (the loganberry cheesecake), got the ten meatballs and mashed potatoes. When my coworker was at the register and I was standing behind, I made a point of talking loud enough for the clerk to hear. I made mention to the effect, "Oh dear, I only have six dollars, I won't have enough, I'm gonna have to borrow." I knew mine would be more than six, since my coworker's food was over six and she didn't get the dessert. When I got to the clerk, I gave her my best puppy dog eyes, she started ringing me up, then said, "I won't charge you for the drink". And much to my surprise, but not enough to rattle my cool, the total came out to five and some change. Score! I told the waitress that she was an All-star and we spent a moment together in time after bringing smiles to each other's faces. My coworker probably just shook her head, rolled her eyes and walked away mumbling, but I don't know since my eyes were glazed over from the small victory.
