Only the Best

When the meal, which started strangely and continued in the same strangeness, was over; I called out to the server, who was kind to me, agonizing over the rest.

"Check, please!"

I was surprised at first when I saw the bill coming at the speed of light. I took another look at the paper and turned to the server standing above me.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, sir. Not possible!"

"What I eat and drink costs twice as much!"

After my last words, a small smile appeared on his dull face, but within a breath, he gathered himself.

"Sir, I have used your 50% discount for the Seven-Storey Hall of Fame businesses!"

Oh, put your water on too! Already, the food was priced at the level of the council cafeteria. Now even that has been cut in half.

"Very good. How do we pay?"

"Sir, if you say you have given your favor points, it will be automatically charged!"
