We're in a restaurant in Amsterdam a few days ago and as we get towards the end of our meal the waitress brings over two glasses of bubbly that we did not order. Thinking that they were from management we are quickly told that they are from a couple who are two tables away, with an empty table between us. We have not had any conversation with them all evening but we immediately thank them profusely and have a brief chat, finding that they are from California. They then leave and we finish our meal.
On calling the waitress, for our bill, we are absolutely amazed to be told that this totally unknown couple have paid for our entire meal and drinks. The waitress has no idea why and does not know them at all.
We found this whole thing somewhat bizarre although it was a pleasant surprise. Our bill would have been in the region of 75 Euros so they have spent that amount plus two glasses of bubbly on two complete strangers, plus, of course, their own bill.
Life never ceases to amaze.
