Today has been weird, mostly in a good way.
We went out this morning to have brunchishness and to go to Target. We ended up at Panera, where I had a bit of a problem deciding what I wanted. I finally decided on a chicken caesar salad, with a iced cappuccino. The boy that was preparing it gave me a hot cappuccino instead of iced. I sighed and took it. We went to get our food and sit down. As I was eating my salad, I find a long piece of plastic amongst my salad. I look at E and say, "Hey look, I found plastic in my salad." He takes the plastic over to the manager. The plastic looked to be the cut away top of say a dressing packet. The next thing I know, the manager comes over, says he's sorry, it looks to be the top of one of the lettuce bags and hands me the price of my meal back. I thanked him and went about my meal. I wasn't freaked out and I honestly wasn't expecting to just have my money handed back.
Fast forward to this evening. Since yesterday I wanted pizza, so I ordered a small pizza and a salad from the local pizza joint. I wait the requested amount of time and E and I walk over. We get in, I say my order and they begin gathering up - until they realize they gave my pizza to the lady before us. The woman apologizes and says it will only take a few minutes. She come back a few minutes later, saying the pizza will be on the house. She then hands us the salad. A couple minutes later she comes back to tell me it will be out soon. I nod and say we still need to pay for the salad. She shakes her head and tells me not to worry about it, she feels bad the pizza is taking so long.
So two meals free today. I hadn't expected any of this at all, and with the migraine I've been experiencing and so on, it was a really nice surprise to save the money we did, even if it meant waiting or dealing with an unexpected piece of plastic. Maybe the universe just wanted to make sure I got my pizza today.
