I went to a place for lunch the other day. I ordered a slaw dog, fries and a drink. The lady tells me they don't have lids for the cups, they were sent the wrong lids. I said, what am I supposed to do, I am transporting this drink in the car... it's gonna spill. She said, I can give you two smaller cups with lids. I said no, just give me the wrong lid, I will just hold it onto the cup with my hand. It was fine all the way home.
The point is, you deal with bad news. You don't turn into a criminal and break the law.
