"excuse me, could i have a plate of salad please?"
"sure, anything else?"
"orange juice please"
"be back at you in two sec"
"thank you"
lima belas menit kemudian teman saya datang ke meja saya dan memesan kepada pelayan yang sama
"excuse me, i'd like to have a beef sandwich please"
"oh, i'm sorry, we run out of sandwiches today"
"well, coke will be fine, then"
"no problem"
sepuluh menit kemudian pelayan itu datang membawa pesanan kami.
"this restaurant is fantastic"
"no, it is not. they don't serve sandwich"
"hey, they do, they're just running out of it"
"no, it was just a tactical tempation"
"what?"
"they offer a very delicious menu to attract people, but don't really have it. by saying 'we're running out of that' will trigger everyone's thought to think that they're too late to order that so they don't get the chance to taste it"
"really? for why?"
"they wanted to be looked as popular and most wanted, hence people will come again and again and again until they taste the sandwich"
"that's ridiculous. what if i really come in the early opening hour to taste that sandwich?"
"they'll tell you to go back at lunch because it will only be served for lunch"
"and if i do too?"
"they'll say they're running out of it. as simple as that."
"wait, what if i really wait there from morning to evening until they really will serve it?"
"well, they'll make you one, the common one, not special. but anyway, don't you have anything to do that you will wait for a.... let's say... sandwich???"
"yeah, that makes sense. that's hilarious"
kami pergi dari restoran itu setelah membayar bill, dan selang setahun, kami berpacaran...jarak jauh.
