Last weekend, my husband and I were in Boerne for their annual Chocolate Walk. It's an event they hold every year on the weekend around Valentine's Day where local businesses hand out chocolate to anyone who has a ticket. Tickets are $15 each. 26 businesses participated, and most of the chocolate is unique/high quality/handmade, so it's a good deal and just a fun experience overall.
Well, we got to one of the stops on our map (a small diner) and went inside, and the lady at the counter told us that there should be someone sitting right outside the front door at a table handing out chocolate for the Chocolate Walk. We found the table, but nobody was at it, so we decided to wait, thinking maybe the person staffing the table just went to the bathroom or something. Moments later another couple came up and was about to go inside the store; I saw that they had the bags for the Chocolate Walk so I told them that the chocolate was being given away out here but that the person staffing the table had stepped away for a moment. The other couple waited maybe 30 seconds before the woman started complaining about "what's taking so long? where are they?" and she sent her husband inside to find out what was going on.
He went in and talked to the clerk inside and came back and told us the person staffing the table just had to step away for a moment and she'd be right back. We had been waiting maybe a minute total at this point. The wife started getting very huffy and agitated and said they should go inside and demand a free beer for their trouble.
Seriously? You're basically getting free chocolate here...and we didn't even have to wait that long. Fortunately, the person staffing the table showed up moments after the wife said she wanted a free beer; good for them, since they shut up after they got their chocolate, and good for us, 'cuz I was really close to telling her where she could shove her chocolate.
