unsinkable Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I was at the Olive Garden bar, picking up my takeout. The woman sitting next to me was drinking a glass of wine (white zin, it turns out) while waitng for HER takeout. She took maybe 2 sips of the wine before her takeout food was ready. Here's the shocker: She picked up her bag of food and walked out, leaving her nearly full glass of wine, plus her receipt on the bar. If that isn't ENOUGH of a shocker, I leaned over to read her receipt, cuz I wanted to know how much those 2 sips cost her. $6.65!!! I thought, "That's a shocker! Olive Garden shocker." Then I immediately flashed on this thread: Little Ceasars Shocker and started LOLing. By myself. At the Olive Garden bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 She must have really needed a drink. ETA: if it was me, I wouldn't be wasting my two sips on white zin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I won't be leaving any sips in the bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 And oddly enough I was at Olive Garden for lunch today and noticed that wine for 6.65 a glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 So here's the real question, Unsinkable: did you finish off that glass while no one was looking? :leaving: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 So here's the real question, Unsinkable: did you finish off that glass while no one was looking? :leaving: :D I did not...it crossed my mind but I am not a wine drinker. Had it been anything with vodka, tho, all bets would be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A woman after my own heart. Maybe that lady at the bar realized she should have ordered vodka too. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danestress Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Perhaps the wine wasn't good to her. May be she figured she paid for it whether it was good or bad, and having spent the money to buy bad wine, she knew the money was spent and saw no reason to finish something she didn't care for.

QueenCat Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Around here you only pay $5.99 for an entire *bottle* of white zin. Yowzer! At a restaurant? Around here, a glass of wine at a moderate restaurant, such as Olive Garden, is around $6-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I object! We as a people must vigorously defend our right to embrace the Sunk Cost Fallacy and indulge in irrational behavior. Isn't it in the Constitution, or something? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 I was wondering if she was going to take a few big gulps before she walked out. You can't really gulp wine, tho', right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Maybe she had the kind of day where two sips of $6.65 wine (plus tip) were a bargain....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
