Last night I had to run errands after work so I decided to eat out which I don’t do too often. I decided that a steak sounded really good so I went to a chain steakhouse. I am not going to name the place but some of you might figure it out. So I am seated and after looking over the menu and almost having a heart attack from the prices I decide what to have. Now I know the policy of this establishment is for the servers to kneel down at eye level to take your order, but this waitress decided to sit in the seat across from me. Honestly I don’t remember inviting her to take a seat and asked to have a chit chat but you know I am getting a bit older so I could have forgotten. This particular waitress is one that talks like her age so every other word is “you know or cool” and is especially perky. So my meal comes and as I am looking at the plate I am wonder how in the world could this really cost $22? The steak is good nothing fabulous but good and I eat my dinner without any further uninvited company.
Now comes the fun part.
One busboy goes by and asks “Do you want a box?” “Yes please”. This gentleman proceeds to forget all about the box and is off somewhere else. The waitress comes by “Do you want a box?” “Yes please” she forgets all about it as well. New busboy comes by “Do you want a box?” Yes please but I have asked two different people and they both forgot.” “I will get you one right now.” He then comes back a few minutes later “Did you get a box?” “No, I said.” So he goes and gets me one just about the same time the waitress finally remembers and brings one as well. So at this point in time I am so done with this place, pay and leave. As I am leaving I run into my waitress again “Oh, you forgot your box do you want me to get it for you?” NOOOOOOO. As I am leaving I don’t want a box I just want to leave and get the hell out of here. Needless to say I don’t think I will be going back.
Would you like a box with that?
