Cultural Exchange - Food Swap

[HomerBB]

My wife and I were sitting in one of our favorite fast food restaurants yesterday evening. This hamburger establishment does a better than average burger with a great selection of different dressings.
It was good! As we were enjoying our meal in walks the delivery fellow from a local Pizzeria. He has four boxed pizzas that he carries to the counter and sets down as he waits for a moment to be attended to.
Debby and I find it amusing that the hamburger folks would tire of their own fair and order in some pizza, but understandable. We really did find it funny when the hamburger folks brought up a bulging sack of Burgers and a large carry out tray of drinks and without an exchange of cash from either side swapped with the pizza guy burgers for pizza.


In the photo I snapped with my cell phone you'll note the Burger menu above the pizza delivery fellows head, and the four pizzas at this left on the counter.

... called 'comping'. Most (but not all) places do it. Most of the time it's handled through the back door though so people don't see it.

I had not ever thought of it, and certainly never seen it. It makes good sense.

It makes perfect sense.
