Sometimes you wonder why your customers don't come back.
The past week has proven to be rather tumultuous in every aspect; and I'm glad things have been resolved somewhat and I feel more at peace with myself. For some matters, it really doesn't hurt to take a step back. I hope I'll be able to walk this talk.
Anyway we had a simple lunch wit J at a serene centre restaurant because she turns twenty-two today! Unfortunately for her, the waiter had stolen the show. Waiter of the year has a consistently deadpan expression, doesn't know he is funny and never once spots the irony of the situation. As J tried to order steak, he seemed so hesitant about her order that she couldn't help but ask what was wrong.
"I don't think the beef is very fresh."
We stared at him in disbelief. That was an extremely candid opinion.
"Don't order the salads, you can see the leaves are yellowing at the edges."
Amused, we asked him for recommendations; which menu items are actually fresh.
"Actually all their ingredients are not fresh."
Nothing can beat that reply. All of us, except for B, decided to just stick to coffees instead.
