Got back from a cruise all relaxed (pretty sure it was Oasis of the Seas) and the next day I went out to lunch… then just walked right out of the restaurant. Didn’t even think about it. My brain was still in “everything’s included” mode.
Got back to work and realized I basically dined and dashed. Went back after my shift, apologized, paid, tipped big. Luckily it’s a mom and pop spot I go to a lot and they were super chill about it. The waitress still jokes that she needs my card before taking my order.
Cruise mode really sticks with you.
