On my last trip to Logan’s my wife and I were enjoying our dinner salads. I got about 1/2 way through mine and noticed a ladybug crawling through my ranch dressing just as waitress was refilling my tea. I pointed to it and said, “Perhaps you should tell the kitchen to spend more time washing the lettuce.” She said, “I will get the manager” and walked off.
I’m pretty easy going and had no intention of asking and had never asked for the manager... only going to suggest perhaps they comp the salad.
So next I see the light in loafers effeminate manager walk right past us and apologize to the wrong table! They were laughing pretty hard and I was visibly holding back tears when he finally got to our table. Now he was very polite to them but was quite angry when he got to our table and proceeds to accuse me of putting the bug in my salad to get a free meal.
My wife knows I never make a scene over anything, but I am now pissed at the accusation and proceeded to get pretty loud talking to him about the E-Coli bagged salad scare that was in the news and the importance of washing your produce. I told him loudly that “I DON’T APPRECIATE BEING ACCUSED OF PUTTING A BUG IN MY SALAD!”
He realized to late that he started this scene, and as our food is now coming out he tried to quiet me down by offering to comp our meals. (Can you say idiot!) I was having none of it and demanded, “Bring me a check for two salads and two drinks!”
Ended up leaving steaks on the table. Left a good tip for the waitress with a note.... “sorry you work for such an ass.” Was well worth it just seeing him apologize to the wrong table.
A few nights later I was flipping channels on TV and see Julie Andrews putting a cockroach in her salad in Victor Victoria!
At least you know it was FRESH!.............and more protein to boot!.............
