How's this for STUPID?

The little Chinese restaurant offers a discount if you pay cash or a free item if your order is over $20 bucks for delivery.

I usually pick up, because I pay with my debit card. The mom of this 'mom & pop' establishment always gives me the free item when I pick up, because I'm not receiving the cash discount...did I also mention I'm a regular customer.

The staff person tonight wouldn't do it. So I paid for my food and gave them my address. Now I get the free item because they are delivering. I was perfectly willing to schlep my own food home, but WHATEVER.

3. I could have had the same deal

and they wouldn't have needed to deliver it.

5. That's pretty weird,

it seems like it should be the other way around anyway.
(Free item for picking up, not for getting your food delivered)
