Went out for drinks after an improv show.
Alex had an awkward confrontation with the bartendar, who walked out to the back patio and accused him of not paying for his tater tots.
Alex: Do you really think I'd try to rip off a basket of tater tots?
Bartendar: We have cameras in here.
Alex: Great. Can we look at the tape? Because I paid.
Eventually Alex backed down and paid again. We all chipped in to defer the extra tots cost. But the whole incident put him in a bit of a funk and made him not want to eat.
Later, coming back from getting a drink, Alex yelled, "I won!" and started throwing one dollar bills around the table. "The other bartendar realized she'd taken the money."
He triumphantly popped a tater tot into his mouth.
Our only regret was that we didn't get to see the tape.
