Today I decided to visit the local Chinese buffet. Being vegetarian, I must be VERY cautious at buffets. People could accidently mix meat with products without meat easily. But here I am, with some guy from school on a lunch date at a buffet. After being seated, we stand up and walk over to the buffet itself. We observe the variety of foods, and make our decisions. I chose to get lo mien and some sautéed broccoli as my friend got general tsos chicken and fried rice. We go back to our table and begin to eat, then we realize that we still have yet to receive our drinks! His eyes are watering from how spicy his general tsos chicken becomes after 4 bites. Finally, the waitress arrived, “Dr. Pepper for you, and Pepsi for you”, then she quickly speeds away. I have been coming to this buffet for 12 years and have not once ever seen this woman. Perhaps she’s brand new here? We go back to eating our delicious food. I take a bite of lo mien and instantly begin freaking out. I must have not realized it but there was a piece of sesame chicken in it! I start panicking, not knowing what to do. I decide to take a sip of my Dr. Pepper, in hope that it will wash it all down. Suddenly, I begin to feel light headed and all of my vision becomes a blur. I close my eyes for what feels like one second, and open them back up only to find myself laying in a hospital bed. What happened? My mind is running in circles and is everywhere. The guy I was with at the restaurant is sitting beside me, and I ask him what had happened. Apparently, the woman who had given us our drinks was not an employee. She had been his ex-girlfriend’s cousin’s sister’s boyfriend’s cousin. She was sent out by his ex because she was jealous of him taking me out on a date. The “waitress” who wasn’t really our waitress drugged me in response. If it wasn’t for that little piece of chicken I wouldn’t be in this situation probably, I wasn’t even thirsty.
