Not 2 minutes later, the doorbell buzzed! It was the restaurant--just like on TV where they hang up the phone and they´re ringing the bell! It seemed to be our order, except they had brought us the wrong soda, but the guy said he´d go back and get the right kind as the restaurant is just 4 blocks away. We dished out the food and started eating. Some minutes later, the buzzer sounded again and Pedro brought up the Sprite.
We were all enjoying dinner when the buzzer sounded a third time. Pedro looked out the window and it was the chicken guy again! He opened the door and the guy told him that he had brought us the wrong order with an extra 1/4 chicken. Now, if something like this happened in the US, it would be the restuarant´s fault and you would think, so what does the guy want, but we´re still in Peru and he wanted the 1/4 piece back! Pedro didn´t care about losing 1/4 of his dinner as there were other pieces left, but what on earth were they going to do with this piece? I made Pedro go ask the guy. Were they going to resell it? I certainly hope not--Pedro had already eaten part of it--but in Peru, you never know what will happen! He just wouldn´t stop saying that he had to take back the extra piece. We finally just paid the guy (S./6.00) for the extra piece and he finally left.
Here´s the famous piece of chicken...
