I placed a to-go order for some bourbon chicken and fried rice and came back 10 minutes later to pick it up. To make a long story short, what happened was: the guys that were in there had apparently said that they had ordered my food while I was gone so the worker accidentally gave it to them, as well as the food that they ordered and paid for.
So the Chinese dude, who speaks pretty shitty English, walks over and tells the guys they need to pay $5 for the food they were wrongfully given. The older Hispanic dude, who also spoke shitty English, was like "We don't have any more money"- which I suspect was a lie. So the Chinese dude goes to grab the food (my food) from one of the 19-20ish year olds and the older Hispanic dude flipped his shit. He basically started arguing with the guy that it was his fault that he had given them the wrong food and that he couldn't take it away or charge them while the Chinese guy, of course, was pretty pissed off that they had likely conned him for a free meal.
So they're going back and forth and the older Hispanic dude gets out of the booth and one of the other Chinese dudes comes around from the counter and they're all going back and forth.
This is a little hole in the wall ass joint so they were legit 4 feet away from me and getting a bit heated. The guy that had remained behind the counter came back with a new order for me so I took off after about 2 or 3 minutes of the squabbling so I took off.. I'm kind of curious as to what ended up happening.
I was kind of hoping they'd break out into a royal rumble. Everybody likes a good brawl right?

That's the best thing about Chinese food, you can be out the door 3 minutes after placing your order.
If the food is flavorful (that is code for: allows you to shoot flames from your ass the next day) I can put up with a little squabbling as long as no knives, guns, explosives, or biological weapons are involved. I'm assuming that chemical and nuclear weapons aren't likely to show up in a Chinese restaurant.
Is the food flavorful?
