The narrator, a restaurant owner, recounts a story of how he got revenge on a rude and entitled girl who came to his restaurant with her friends. Despite not having a reservation, the girl demanded to be seated at the most exclusive table, claiming to have important connections. The narrator played along, offering them free drinks and a luxurious meal, but with the intention of taking advantage of their rudeness to make them pay a hefty bill. When the girl's credit card was declined, she tried to seduce the narrator to avoid paying, but he refused. The girl's father, a wealthy man, arrived and paid the bill, but also scolded his daughter for her behavior and threatened to kick her out of the house if she didn't get a job. The narrator distributed the $15,000 profit among his employees, learning that even difficult customers can bring benefits.
