(Short Story) Friday Night Problem

In a night of the Friday, October 20, 2006, Jose was trying to find out what he was going to do that night. He wanted to do something at night like all the Fridays. So he called andres to organized the plan. After several rings, Andres picked up the phone.
"What are we going to do tonight?," Jose asked Andres.
"I don´t know lets go to Mc Donalds,"said Andres with a not nice tone.
No, lets go to another place because we always go to Mc Donalds. Lets go to Crepes and Waffles,"proposed Jose.
Andres responded, "Then why do you want my opinion. I will go and pick you up at 7:00PM." Jose said, "Ok."

At 7:00, Andres went to pick up Jose and they went inmediatly to Crepes and Waffles. When they arrived they saw an empty table and they went to it.

Then the waitress came and said, "Hi my name is Rosa, here is the menu."
Then she asked Andres,"What are you going to eat?"
Andres answered,"I am going to eat a grilled chicken and I hope it comes well cooked."
Then Rosa asked Jose in a nervously way because of the way Andres responded her.Jose said, "I would like that too please."

After ten minutes the food came. Jose started cutting it and he ate his first bite. Then Andres ate his first one and looked with anger to Rosa.
Then he said, "I told you that I wanted the chicken well cooked and you do the opposite."
Then Rosa answered, "But, but I bring it and it was very hot."
Jose said, "Mines is good and it is the way I wanted to it to be."
Then Andres said with a high voice," You see, you see why do his food is well cooked and mines isn´t, why?. Here people are stupid and don´t know how to do anything, not even to attend clients the way they want. I am going to make a demand to this place for its bad service." All the people in the restaurant was staring at Andres.

Andres seemed to want to make the life impossible to the poor Rosa. He kept shouting to Rosa and saying that she didn´t knew how to do nothing and that she was an ignorant.
Jose said, "Please Andres this is not so bad for you to be shouting to inocent people and saying that you are going to demand this place just for a little problem."
Andres said,"No, it is a big problem,I come here to have a good time,to talk,and to eat good food and the first thing that they do is giving the food not the way I wanted it to be." Rosa was very scared and she looked like she was going to cry.

"But Andres calm down please, look all the persons are looking at us as we were crazy people. We can solve this problem in a peacefull way," said Jose.
Andres kept shouting as if he was ignoring Jose.
He said, " But how do these things happen and why does it happens to me."
Jose was starting to loose his pacience.
Then he said,"But listen to me, you need to calm down please, it is not good to be shouting to people because then you are going to be without friends.Look at Rosa she is almost crying and you are shouting to her." Then Rosa started to cry.

The noise reach to the office of Jorge, the restaurant manager. Then he came to table were tha problem was and he saw that Rosa was crying.
He asked her," Why are you crying?"
She answered,"Because I am going to loose my job."
Then Jorge asked her," But why are you going to loose your job, what have you made?"
Andres said, " I can explain you what happened."
Jorge said, " Lets go to my office and you tell me." When they arrived to the office they sat down in some seats and Andres started telling him that Rosa didn´t gave him the food well cooked and he told her that he wanted the food like that.
Jorge said, " We can solve this problem right now."

Jorge told Rosa to cook Andres´food and told Andres that if he wanted his food more cooked, he only needed to asked the the waitress if she can cook it a little bit more so we don´t get more problems. He also told Andres that he needed to be calmer when he is solving problems and Andres agreed with that. Then Rosa came with the food and Andres apologized with her. He told her that he was the stupid for shouting at her and he said that he was not going to do it again.After that he ate his food and learn the lesson that he needed to treat others as he wanted others to treat him.
