On the House

Some people have the ability to charm restaurant owners and wait staff. Young Bo' is one of those people. My brother is another. I don't understand it. I'm perfectly polite and personable, but my compliments and chatter never get me anything except smiles. Having Taiwanese food tonight:

Restaurant Owner: What are you guys drinking? (motions to the waitress) Two more Tsingtaos. On me. (turns to me) Do you want some? Another Tsingtao.

Moi: No, thanks.

Brother: This is my little sister.

Restaurant Owner: Don't worry, I don't check ID.
