'..I look at the menu prices, then begin negotiating them with the waitress, *after* placing my order. If we can not agree on a significantly lower price, I demand to speak to the manager and negotiate with him or her personally. If that fails, I walk out and leave them hanging with the food I just ordered! ..'
