Brady and Lizzie walk into a fancy restaurant, trying to act classy.
The waiter hands them the menu and says, âTonightâs special is grilled salmon for $40.â
Brady whispers to Lizzie, âThatâs expensive⊠watch this.â
He looks at the waiter and says confidently,
âIâll just have water.â
Lizzie rolls her eyes but says, âSame for me.â
The waiter nods and walks away.
A few minutes later, the waiter returns⊠carrying two plates of delicious steak.
Brady looks confused, âUh⊠we ordered water?â
The waiter smiles politely and says,
âYes sir⊠but the couple at the next table felt so bad watching you read the menu for 10 minutes⊠they paid for your meal.â
Lizzie bursts out laughing.
Brady leans back proudly and whispers,
âSee? Thatâs called strategic dining.â đ
