It is my opinion that one of the most unexpected happy surprises that can happen to you is to go into a restaurant and have them mess up your order. I say this because most of the time the restuarant will give you the meal or something else for free to compensate for the horrible inconvenience.It has happened to us recently at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Texas Roadhouse. Last night Jessica was in need of a chocolate splurge, and I called Chili's to order one of those molten lava chocolate cakes, which would be the final thing I would eat if I knew I was going to die.
I went to pick up the dessert, and the manager came out and was acting very sorrowful, as if I was going to be so angry that I was going to throw a tirade and burn the place down. They were out of molten lava chocolate cakes. Truthfully, I didn't care and I said to just get a chocolate chip lava cake instead. The manager stopped me, and said, "Well, do you want to hear our offer instead?" They gave me the chocolate chip cake for free, and gave us a coupon (that happens to be expired) for a free chocolate cake in the future. So Jessica got her chocolate splurge (and a future chocolate splurge) for free.
When Jessica heard about this, she was jokingly about to call up Chili's to order another chocolate cake, just to see if they would give us two more free desserts.
I'm thinking in the future I might just order something super complicated, and if they mess up I would just act angry so that I can always get free meals.

Sweet deal! I love when you get anything for free. We once got a whole Olive Garden meal free while we were in Kentucky. We were on your way to the temple in Louisville and I think Heavenly Father gave us a blessing for making a huge efffort to go to the temple. They messed up our order and then forgot about it. It was crazy!
My husband, Levi, will always jump at the opportunity to get food for free. We have had more free pizzas and Buffalo Chicken Kickers from Domino's than I would have ever thought possible.
Keep fighting the good fight! :)
