Extra chips

It's in an obscure suburb (can a town with an 18000 population have suburbs??) and I had to wait while they cooked fresh cod; I guess that they don't want to have too much stock lying around cooked at 9pm on a Tuesday.
Portions are always good, and I really don't mind the wait - I could always have phoned in the order if I wasn't prepared for it. But I'm always slightly amused to see that when they keep you waiting (a) they apologise for the wait [good business practice there, Tricia], and (b) the size of the portions of chips increases in proportion to the time taken.
