For once, it wasn't me!
For once, it wasn't me! I was talking to an employee as she was getting ready to leave for the day. She is older, and hard working, and kind of limps along showing the wear and tear her body has experience from the years of food preparation and catering that has been her career. She is a rockstar! We were talking at the door and she said to me... "I have to tell you what happened the other day. I immediately thought of you!" "Really? Why me?" "Because, stuff like this usually happens to you." I was hooked the minute she said that. My attention was vested and I had to hear what it was she did because I knew it was probably something totally humiliating but made for a good story. I wasn't wrong. She had been talking to a regular customer and was excited to tell him that we were allowed to have coffee again. When the COVID hit, we had been directed to put away the coffee carafe to limit the possible spread and exposure to the virus, but that had been lifted and coffee was back once again. In her excitement, she had somehow managed to propel her false teeth from her mouth onto the floor while she was talking to the customer. The echo of her teeth bouncing on the cement floor was undeniable. At first glance, the teeth had disappeared, so she found herself, the customer, and one of her coworkers searching for where they landed. They managed to land under a table, far enough back that she had to grab the broom to sweep them out. By now, I was roaring as she was telling me the story. If I had false teeth, I could totally see this happening to me.... Thankfully I do not! So, there she stood, teeth in hand, offering the customer a cup of coffee. The customer being a good, regular customer who visited her often, had asked her with a smile on his face how much he owed her. "The coffee is a dollar, but the entertainment is free." Happy Tuesday! |

The attempted dine and dash.... That would have been something to see! I'm guessing they ended up paying their bill? I don't understand how people can do that stuff, especially since it's usually the wait staff that get penalized for it and it gets taken out of their pay. Please visit my Blog "Older but no Wiser"

How embarrassing for her, poor woman Many years ago, when I was in the Air Force, I was with friends late one evening in an Indian Restaurant in Swindon UK. We had just got a beer each and ordered our food, when there was a commotion by the door, a group of guys were trying to leave without paying!! One of the waiters was blocking the door and calling to his colleagues for help, the kitchen door crashed open and three cooks armed with large ladles attacked the offenders! Eventually after peace was restored, we had our meal and paying the bill, our waiter asked if we had enjoyed our meal? One of my friends looked at him and said, the food was crap but I loved the Floor Show
