Friday: how much?

As normal, we went out for dinner with Dusty and Laura. What was unusual is that we had to go to three restaurants before we found one with less than a forty minute wait. Phew. The Mexican place had a table for us right away, although the service wasn't great. Ben and I were waiting in line to pay our bill, and the group in front of us was dividing up their check at the register...normal for this restaurant. What wasn't normal is that after they left the total ended up being $35722.24. The guy running the register didn't look like he was having a good day.
