His truck was named 'Eclectia'. I read the menu, stomach growling, and chose a battered sausage dog on a stick with a side of real maple syrup for dipping.
We lined up, but an elderly woman with a walker asked to go first and we acquiesced.
The window opened and we waved and cheered. The old woman hadn't read the menu and ordered poached egg with dry toast and weak tea.
Our friend did his best to make her happy, but she grumbled at everything and sat down.
We all ordered the same thing and left big tips. It helped to cheer him on.
The old woman walked back to the window and wanted her money back.
"Sure. Just bring back the uneaten food and I will refund your money."
"Oh, I ate it all, but your sign says if I'm not happy, I get my money back. I'm not happy." Our friend smiled graciously and refunded her money.
We watched as the old woman chuckled and left. We then watched our friend paint over the refund sign and shake his head.
"She was slick, wasn't she?" He smiled and we were glad we had tipped very well.
Haha, that was cute. I like that it was really capturing a moment.
