Thank you, to the guy lining up behind me

I did something sort of embarrassing tonight....
I remember two years ago, on our Jack+Ming wedding bus tour to Kingston, we stopped at Wendy's for lunch.  Nica had ordered potatoes with chives and sour cream while everyone got fries.  That was the first time that i knew that Wendy's had such thing.  Last night, I had to get my own dinner and i didn't want to drive far or wait a long time for it, and instead of going to MacDonald, which we always go, i decided to go to Wendy's.  It's not that far from our home anyways.  So I thought about the potatoes, and I ordered it.  I absolutely loved it... I peeled off every single part of that potatoes to get the last bit of it.
Tonight, i needed to get dinner again for myself, so i decided to go back again.  I ordered the exact same thing, delux cheeseburger and the potatoes with chives and sour cream.  But then after the cashier took my money, gave me my burger, she told me "we don't have potatoes anymore."  I almost wanted to kill her.... I told her, "I came here for the potatoes!!!" She smiled and said nothing.  I said "if you had told me that you didn't have it, i would have just left!"  Then the manager came, i told her what happened, so she gave me a rain cheque for the potatoes.  I told her "i'm sorry, but i'm pregnant" and she said she understands.
The father ordering behind me told me "it was February, my wife was pregnant and she wanted watermelon.  We drove around town looking for watermelon, found it and bought it even though it was $15.  So i understand where you're coming from, and i sympathize you."
THANK YOU SIR!!! Thank you for not making me feel bad for holding up the line and asking for a potato.  Thank you.  You're a good man for driving around town paying $15 for watermelon for your pregnant wife.  There is still good people in this world.

wow, such an understanding dude.

Jack, I didn't know you got it in you to hold up a fast food restaurant line! With pregnancy comes braveness~

oh, you don't know me at all. once i went "eh huh" to this guy who tried to cut the line at the train platform, while no one else said a word. we've been waiting there for over 20 min. the guy turned around looked at me and said " oh, is there a line?" (裝傻)i just nodded. Obviously there was a line!!! so the guy just walked behind all of us...

that baking potato is the only thing I like from Wendy's!!

Lance should feel lucky that I didn't ask for certain stuff to eat when I was pregnant.

What's up with McDonald and pregnancy anyway? I had cheeseburger almost every night for snack when I was pregnant.

I cannot believe that the author of this story left out the most touching and feel-good happy ending!! Certain caring husband of this angry pregnant woman went to the aforementioned Wendy's an hour later and got the potato! It wasn't $15 but the thought should count, right?

wow~ so touching! 嗚~~~

whatever, it was on your way home, it was a free potato, and you had to buy dinner for yourself anyways...
