I went to a favorite fast-food place for lunch today. Apparently sometime before I came in, "the system" (the front registers) had crashed. The lady at the counter was trying to "revive" the system and one of the others asked "Your usual?" since I always order the same thing. I said yes without thinking about it. She was still pressing buttons and swiping a card as the tray ended up on the pickup counter. "It's your lucky day..." she said in frustration and said the meal was on the house since she had no way of ringing it up yet. The system was just coming back up when I had finished eating. So there IS such a thing as a free lunch, or at least there was this afternoon.
