Anyhoo... now that Denizen has been banned from "working" there for free, Farmer H has been approached by other eaters, and asked if he might want to play bar bingo again. You may recall that Farmer H enjoyed his Wednesday nights out, though I probably enjoyed them more!
Farmer H said that yes, he liked playing bingo, until the strife of the broken relationship, the reason for which he still has no clue.
"But won't you still run into her there? Doesn't she still play bingo?"
"No! They got mad, and quit going. It seems like they do something, then expect favors, and get mad if they don't get them."
"Why would they get mad playing bingo?"
"Well, you know we used to eat our supper there. That's why places have the bingo for free. To bring people in, and hope they buy drinks and food. I liked their food. I had no problem ordering supper there. But I guess Denizen quit having food. They said she would just order a soda, then get refills. And she had cherries in her soda. So when she asked for a refill, she asked for more cherries. Finally, they told her that only the first refill was free. Then she's have to buy another soda. And they said they would have to charge a quarter for each cherry after the first time. Someone said she was eating a whole jar of cherries during the bingo."
"Huh. I guess she'd rather give up bingo there rather than pay for food and drinks."
"Yeah. Seems like it."
I can understand the business policy. They say that bingo is free. That doesn't mean they are giving away soda and cherries! After all, they have to pay to be a part of the bar bingo, and for the prizes. It's one thing for people to come in just to play bingo. They don't have to buy anything. But when they expect "FREE" soda and cherries, that's something else entirely.

Well that was very cheeky of her and someone should have said something much earlier I think, way back when she began having free refills and all those cherries.
River,
She may have been trying this trick a little at a time. Like one week asking for a refill with cherries, then a couple weeks later a second refill with cherries, etc. Until she ended up getting a whole jar of cherries!
Heh, heh, at the new place they might go to, she might start bringing a lemon, then ordering a glass of water, then asking for sugar packets.
