I owe the cafeteria $180,000 for going to the bathroom.

“Ma'am, just a moment. There’s still an outstanding bill for $50,000.”

I was about to leave after using the restroom when the owner of the buffet restaurant stopped me dead in my tracks.

My jaw dropped at the outrageous sum she mentioned. This place was supposed to be $75 per person, tops!

“$50,000? What are you talking about? I already paid for my meal.”

She plastered on a sugary-sweet, fake smile. “Our premium restroom is only free for three minutes. Every minute over that costs $10,000. You were in there for twenty-one minutes, so that comes to $50,000.”
