A man having lunch at a Chinese restaurant noticed that the table had been set with forks, not chopsticks. He asked why.
The waiter said, “Chopsticks are provided only on request. “
“But, “the man countered, “if you gave your patrons chopsticks, you wouldn’t have to pay someone to wash all the forks. “
“True, “the waiter shot back, “but we’d have to hire two more people to sweep the floor. “
