Story:I worked in a chain of expensive restaurants. One day, one of our guests was wearing an expensive watch, and our waiter praised it. So the guest took it off his hand and gave it to him as a gift.
The next morning he came back to the restaurant. The waiter was back on shift. He thought that the man had come back to take back his present. The guest said, “I gave you my watch yesterday, I feel awkward about it.” The waiter handed over the watch, saying, “Here it is, safe and sound.”
And the man replied, “You misunderstood me. It’s not nice to give a secondhand watch.” And he hands our employee a box with a new watch of the same brand. © ChillOut / VK
