The rare & improbable free lunch

What a treat, not a huge treat, because it was Burger King, after all, but still nice. I ordered lunch at the BK nearby, and whipped out my credit card to pay for it when the manager said that their card reader was down. I was out of cash, and that's all I had to pay with... .
But he wanted repeat business enough that he wrote the meal off rather than see me head up the street to the competition!
I wonder how much money the store will lose today because there was no backup system in place?
