This is dumb, but.
I went to Applebee's with a big group of 16. At the end I asked for a pecan blondie to go (I was so full I couldn't possibly eat more).
But, instead a different waitress brought me this lovely display obviously meant to be eaten at the table I felt so terrible, because she was holding it so proudly. Then I told her I had ordered it for take out and her face just pinched in irritation and she said, "We'll take it back." in a flat voice.
I just felt so awful, and I know it's silly because she probably didn't take it personally, but I couldn't possibly eat it.
They ended up taking it off the bill and I about cried. I made an origami heart out of a $20 bill and gave it to our lovely waitress. This was her first time with a large party and she really did a good job. She was so happy she squeaked. I just hope the other people in our group tipped (It was mostly older members of my extended family, and I know old people tend not to tip well, from experience). I didn't want to make a big thing out of it but Mom asked to split the tip with me so I told her what I was leaving.
Also I'm on my period so anything resembling disappointment tends to make me weepy.
