"Perhaps... your phone has a virus." The waiter was not entirely sure himself.
"Who are you trying to fool? Do you take us for some gullible out-of-town tourists?" Aunt's voice rose sharply, and she looked on the verge of losing her composure. "What kind of look is that? Do you think I'd come to your restaurant holding a half-price coupon just to take advantage of you? Your restaurant is the one that sent the promotion to my phone online, and now you're backing out? Do you really think Chinese tourists are easy to push around? Let me tell you, China is strong now, and we have a voice on the international stage. I can completely go to Japan's consumer association and report you for going back on your word!"
Facing the middle-aged woman's unreasonable attitude, the waiter's patience was wearing thin. From the start, he had felt that the guests in this private room were extremely difficult. When they first arrived, each group insisted they had reserved the table; then, upon meeting, they claimed to know one another and made a fuss over a mix-up, only to demand an extra table be pushed together into a large one. The waiter had patiently tried his best to accommodate these strange requests, but now this bizarre customer had actually pulled out some sort of "half-price coupon," which struck him as utterly absurd.
