Oh, and for $x dollars more you can have the salad bar. Your $10 dollar burger and water has become $63. You may have had an average waiter/waitress, but you got a great sales person.
Best of all, even though you didn't get what you wanted, you let everyone know you can afford it and you won't have to suffer those who want to show that you are a cheapskate.
