So anyway >>259, please listen. I went to Yoshinoya by a metro station in Shanghai today. Place was deserted. There were no signs announcing money off. 16RMB for the beef bowl.
I was a little nervous going in, as it was my first time in the hallowed halls of Yoshinoya and I had to order extra onions without bursting out into laughter.

I flirted with the girl at the counter, then ordered the beef bowl. With extra onions. All the while wondering if I had been invisibly marked by my selection. Then all three of the staff burst out laughing. It might have been something to do with me recieving a message exactly as I ordered, telling me in broken Chinglish I made the senders gaydar tingle, and then chuckling loudly.
With the extra onion, the price was a little higher (18RMB), but there was about the same beef.

I ate it while the waitress made the eyes at me. I finished up, smiled and left.

Next time, I'll repeat the experiment and see the reaction of the staff.
