I'd like to think that as I get older somethings would get easier or at least not happen as much. A friend kicking you to the curb, people being disrespectful, being taken advantage of, physical altercations and or being sick from to much drinking alcohol. Being a trade off for the death of a friend, pain in the joints and being sick with heart burn from anything you eat or drink. Its not always the way in life, its how we set ourselves up, how we treat our bodies and the ability to have a strong circle of family and friends.
Busy night at work and one of my waitress's came to me with a plate of food untouched. I asked her what was wrong. She said that this was the first time something like this had ever happened to her. She had taken two dinners to an older couple, the lady excepted her rib dinner but when the gentleman was given his fish dinner, the old lady snapped at him saying "why did you order that, you don't like fish. What in gods name were you thinking?" She told the waitress to take the food away and to bring him a rib dinner". I felt I needed to go by the table to make sure every thing was ok. When I got there she was dawging her food as the man sat quietly with his hands folded in front of him. I asked how they were doing, he didn't respond but she between bites gave her nod of approval. When his dinner was ready I took it right to him. He seemed to be excited that he was finally going to get to eat. I gave him his food and walked away. Not even three minutes later the waitress came to me with his food again and what was left of hers. She said that the old lady said these were the worst ribs that they had ever had here. I went back to the table to see if I could get them something different, he said nothing, she said "no, we are done for the night" I told them I was sorry and I would take it off their bill. She got angry and said that she didn't want that, just bring the bill please. I told the waitress what she had said but that I still felt bad that they were paying full prise for a meal they didn't enjoy. I put a discount on it and told the waitress to apologize for me once more. I was tending to another problem table as I heard the raised voice of the old lady telling the waitress that she had told me not to do that. I opted to go to the restroom at that point to stay clear of the old lady till she left.
I felt sorry for the old guy, it reminded me of an old black and white film starring Betty Davis called Sweet Baby Jane. Like any of you pups out there would understand that reference. Jane was a serious Bitch! He is to far along in life to be treated in this way. But who am I to pass judgment, this might be what true love is.
I'm leaving with some family and friends later today to go on vacation. I will be taking my lap top with me. We won't be reaching our destination until late Sunday. I will be posting throughout this trip once we get settled in. I hope that I can share it all with you. Because of the loyalty and number of followers I might just have to do a contest with a prize from this trip. Stay posted and thanks for reading!
