Potato Chips

I met a relative for lunch a couple of years ago and the restaurant menu stated that his sandwich would come with potato chips.  He doesn’t like potato chips, he didn’t want them.  “No chips, please,” he requested of the waitress and she nodded.  A few minutes later, here came his sandwich……….with potato chips.  Instead of ignoring them or asking her to replace them with something else — he crammed them into his mouth, jamming them in faster than I have ever seen anyone eating anything and totally getting rid of them before allowing himself to eat the rest of his meal. Waste not, want not?  I didn’t ask. I still can’t quite figure out the logic.
