Hi
Is there a problem, sir?
Ah, yes—a question about the final total
Yes
Um, you see — we didn't budget for this
Excuse me?
This is marked $19.99
Yeah...
Well, I've only got $7 set aside for this
So what are we going to do today?
Well, I’d like the highlights
But for now I can only pay for a trim
OK, so today we’re only gonna do the trim?
No, the highlights, but I can only pay for the trim
I mean, lunch at the taco stand was… was what?
About $12
Right, right, right, about $12
Sir, we’re not the taco stand
No, it was, I had beef, same thing...
You had the fillet
Yeah… cow
OK, lemme make a phone call, see what I can do, maybe I can get you $8.50
Can you do $8.50?
I’ll pay for the highlights next time
but for now I need you to just go ahead and throw them in
So basically you want me to work for free?
No, I don’t want you to work for free
It’ s just a test, that way I can see if my husband likes it
and then we can roll the cost over until the next time I need color...
...if he likes it
I went through and line-itemed some of the stuff that
we can just remove
I’m not making any money on this either
you gotta help me out
We got a discount bin…
I know, I’ve checked the discount bin
But I want this one
We can do this
This is not a challenge
this is an opportunity
We tried what, three entrees?
You ordered three entrees, sir...
We ordered, but does “order” mean eating?
Yeah, we ate one of them
What’s your name?
Todd
Todd. You gotta work with me
That one’s $19.99
Mike, come on, let’s do this
It’s Todd, dude
Well I can cover your hard costs, but that’s really as far as I’m willing to go
I’ll give you $8.50 today
I'll come back next Tuesday—we're going to make it up on the next one
What do you say?
What?
Ah, excellent, umm…
Well, we’ll go ahead and pay this this time
but what we’re gonna need you to do is show us how you made it
So we can do it on our own, in-house
...from now on
Dude, it was a great dinner...
