I know, it's revolting. Andy's advocating making these two co-workers
mad at each other because he couldn't (hypothetically) 'fess up to why
he gave a smaller than normal tip. These people have to work with each
other every day. Plus lying about the food could get the cook in
trouble or fired.
Seriously, Andy, what are you thinking here?
