To my surprise, their food arrived first, and they immediately started eating, laughing loudly and having a great time.

​I felt frustrated, especially when I overheard one of them bragging loudly about his good connections with the restaurant staff. I was ready to just walk out, feeling mocked and ignored. I called a staff member over, barely able to control my anger. ​The waiter smiled calmly and explained, "Sir, your dish is a special creation, being prepared personally by the Executive Chef. The big group's quick meals were made by the trainee cooks because our senior team is focusing entirely on your unique order. That is why they were served immediately. Please accept this refreshment while you wait." Hearing this, I felt much better and decided to wait patiently.

​A little later, my single meal arrived, delivered with ceremony by five servers. What I didn't know was that the owner, who happened to be an old, long-lost friend of mine, had spotted me come in. She decided to surprise me by upgrading my simple order to a lavish, five-course banquet. The loud table next to me instantly fell silent. They watched, shocked, and started whispering to each other, wondering why they didn't receive the same special treatment.
