Add a service charge based on time of table occupancy.
LOL! Last week, I was in my private club and (usually my beer is there when I walk in). The barmaid was new and looked at me with her cell phone in her head. After 5 min.s I got my beer and watched another regular waving at her and quietly saying “ Another beer?” She finally looked at him and said “When I’m done, OK?” I put my beer to the side and she immediately made another call. I yelled “Hey woman, I’m paying here.” She said “hold your GD horses until I’m done, OK?” When she finally got off her ass to get a beer, I walked over grabbed her cellphone and smashed it on the bar. I got a round of applause and now I’ve got to go to small claims court. Worth it. She got fired, all on video.
This past Mother’s Day, my family treated my mom to Ruth Chris.
A table to the right of us had a Norman Rockwell family; a very good looking mom and dad, and three children who were pre-teens/teenagers.
The entire time from the time they sat down, all five were on their phones. Not talking to each other, just on the phones.
A couple a few seats over, were not speaking at all to each other, they spent the entire time texting each other.
My sister and I had our iPhones with us. They stayed in our pocketbooks the entire time. We spent our evening talking to our parents, like you would when you visit them.
We stopped at a restaurant in a little town and it had a sign “No Cell Phones”.
I don’t have one, don’t need one, and flat refuse to get one because I hate people who do this. I bought my wife an apple Iphone and it wakes me up almost every morning with text messages from family with pictures or other junk!
Not me, ever!
I don’t believe it. When I go to a restaurant, I’m hungry. I want the menu right away. I order soon after. Then I eat because I’m more hungry than when I first arrived. After I eat, I out of the place because I can’t stand all the TV Screens. I can’t believe how many restaurant now have them. I can understand sports bars but in restaurants? I don’t think I’m that different than the average diner.
It's 2014. We...are...in...the...information...age.
Welcome aboard!
Now let me screenshot this reply and instagram it to a bunch of people who barely know me.
