I'm going to make a joke out of it. Why not?
Years ago when I was single, I used to go to this one diner once a week or so and order the same meal -- mac 'n cheese with veg and salad, a coke. With tax, the total came to $6.66. After two or three times I realized what was going on and started representing myself to waitresses there as the customer from hell. When they asked why, I just told them to look twice at the tab. Everbody got a big kick out of it. One waitress would pretend to refuse to serve me.
Eventually, they raised the price of mac'n cheese :-).
