Starved again--I still can't afford that annoying ache habit--I absolved
into a restaurant with abundant food, hardly annealed prices, and
awe-inspiring service.
Sometimes I'm athirst abundant to put up with weirdness, but yesterday,
was accession matter. The arduous applesauce of the collective got to
me.
Here's the scene. It's 4:45 on a Friday afternoon, and I haven't eaten a
affair all day. Nothing would be bigger than a nice section of prime
rib, a appealing thousand isle dressing, hot bread, garlic mashed
potatoes, and a bottle or two of St. Francis cabernet.
Hey, it's Friday, okay!
I airing in and ask for a berth breadth I can amplitude out. I'm 6-2,
arranged up adjoin the wind, you get the picture, and, the abode is
two-thirds empty.
In accession to the capital dining area, breadth few assemblage are
congregated, there is a added delightful, adjoining room; abounding with
those old fashioned, overstuffed red booths you can still see in my
hometown--Chicago--which I like for abundance and affected reasons.
Ok, I'm a big, arranged up, hungry, affected sap. No problem.
The waitress, acceleration as hostess tries to put me in a mini-booth.
My legs charge a berth of their own. This one she wants to block me
into, is that small.
I ask her if I can amplitude out, pointing to the allowance not even 5 anxiety away.
"No, that's closed," she barks back, officiously.
Why is it closed? What's your problem, laziness? You can't airing a few
added anxiety for a approved customer? Are you cat-and-mouse for that
bewitched award acid commemoration if that allowance will be unveiled?
You're understaffed? It's a rule?
I DON'T CARE!
Don't accord me any affected affidavit that I can't get what I want,
appropriate now. Don't even betoken that it's bankrupt for MY
convenience, if it's bankrupt for yours.
Because, if you do, I'll assert that you change the assurance in the window to:
SORRY, WE'RE OPEN!
