Lost Feta...

By Anton Kyrychenko

Today my mom and I went to a restaurant for lunch before going to the boat from Athens to Crete. When we got the check, the man gave it to me, even though it would be more logical to give it to my mom. "He's so relaxed" the man exclaimed.  There was something strange because we didn't get the appetizer we ordered. When we looked at the bill, everything was written in Greek but we were suspicious because there were 6 things listed. Our two meals and our orange juice, bread, our nonexistent appetizer, and a bottle of water that we had sent back unopened. So my mom told me that since the waiter gave the bill to me and not her, that maybe he did that on purpose so she wouldn't see it and she said I should try going to the waiter and tell him about the problems in our bill. I walked up to him and said "Sir, excuse me. Sir, but we looked at the bill and we didn't get our feta dish (baked feta with tomatoes and peppers) but it is listed on the bill." "Oh, oh," he answered with a look that told me that he was surprised we noticed. I think it was because the bill was in Greek. He was about to leave and change the check but I stopped him and asked, "What is this?" "Oh, water," he answered. "But we sent the water back without opening it," I told him. "Yes, yes, okay, sorry, sorry" and he left. I came back to the table knowing that they knew they didn't give us the feta….
