(Dan Tri) - No longer interested in love, I told him: "If you ask for 15,000 VND, then you will lose me. Now I wish you can find someone new who shares the same views."
On my day off, my boyfriend asked me to come over to his house to go grocery shopping and cook. I was excitedly thinking of many ideas for a romantic meal together. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped into the house, it started to rain. I was lazy and said I would go grocery shopping another day, temporarily ordering food online for convenience. After searching for a while, I finally found a restaurant that seemed to have many positive reviews.
Our two meals totaled 185,000 VND. I saw my boyfriend hand over a 200,000 VND bill. But the delivery man said he didn't have any change, it was raining heavily, and there were many urgent orders that needed to be delivered, so he saved my number and promised to call back after the delivery.
That was all, I forgot about it. Around 3pm, my boyfriend suddenly remembered and mumbled to me that the fast food restaurant hadn't called him yet. I wondered why he hadn't transferred the payment this afternoon. He said it was raining heavily and he rushed out to get the goods without his phone. The delivery person was so flustered and confused that he gave me the money right away.
I said: "The change is only 15,000 VND, let's forget it to make things easier." But my lover said: "The problem is not the few thousand, but the reputation. If you ask, I will give it to you, but if you make an appointment, you have to pay. That's disrespectful to the customer. What you need is not 15,000 VND, but a proper statement, you are not allowed to just ignore it as if nothing happened."
My boyfriend's behavior is hard for me to accept (Illustration: TD).
And then he took out his phone and called the restaurant. The two sides argued back and forth for a while, and neither side would give in. He affirmed that the restaurant had acted wrongly and unprofessionally. Even 1,000 VND was money, and the customer did not beg for it. He demanded that the restaurant owner apologize and be responsible for refunding the remaining amount.
My boyfriend's idea is that if the restaurant had no intention of embezzling money, why didn't they proactively call the customer, instead of ignoring them so that when they were called to ask for money, they would say they didn't need the change. The restaurant deserves a one-star rating.
The owner of the restaurant was not to be outdone, thinking that my boyfriend was being unreasonable, that 15,000 VND was not worth taking from him. It was just that the restaurant was too crowded today so he had not called back. They exchanged words, ending with threats to expose each other online and then hanging up. Witnessing the whole thing, I was extremely frustrated.
Of course, I don't defend the restaurant. But what flooded my mind was the lack of respect for my boyfriend. I understand, everything he said was right. However, I couldn't get used to the sight of a man arguing with a vendor over 15,000 VND, it was not worth it. I called it petty.
He was angry with my assessment of the problem. He was extremely angry, thinking that I was not objective and did not understand the situation. The owner of the restaurant was wrong and refused to admit his mistake. Seeing him angry, I felt even less inclined to say anything more.
I do not accept that my future husband would spend all his time arguing over a few pennies. If he is like this when he is in love with me, how strict will he be after marriage? I cannot imagine how I will deal with such a strict and petty husband.
Suddenly I was no longer interested in love, I said: "It's good now, you've asked for 15,000 VND. I hope you find another woman who shares your views."
