Okay, it is weird. But, I do not want to rest on a painted wall. <br /><br />It is only greed on the part of a restaurant that would stay open during renovations. I don't want to deal with plaster and paint while I eat. I tend to just back out when I see work in progress. <br /><br />Once, I complained at a restaurant. The waiter said, "You ought to see what is in the back where we prepare this food."Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-82165821154973901132011-11-05T16:44:53.263-04:002011-11-05T16:44:53.263-04:00The restaurant I work at recently renovated as wel...The restaurant I work at recently renovated as well, as did the one beside us immediately afterwards. As all the servers tend to migrate to the other bar after ther shifts, we tend to swap stories. What I've learne from such globalized gossip trade is this:<br /><br />Signs are for smart people.<br /><br />That's the only way I can explain how SO MANY PEOPLE would blatantly ignore all the signs around the restaurant, inside and out, regarding the renovations. We had a giant sign outside saying "We Are Still Open As We Renovate FOR YOU!", yet people would constantly walk right by that giant sign otuside, poke their head through the open doorway, look at the hostess working there, and ask if we were still open. Wet paint was a different problem, one that both people and servers were caught off-guard by. I found that the servers were simply on autopilot and would lean against the same old wall they usually do when they have a moment, forgetting that it was damp with oil-based paint. On one occasion, however, I witnessed a guest of the establishment LOOK directly at the sign saying 'wet paint', look at me, and then put their hand on the wall to test the sign's truth. When their hand became a delightful new shade of shit-brown, they complained to a manager and had their meal comped.<br /><br />Stupidity. It gets shit DONE.foxpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564758353114325351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-17443342451761990582011-11-05T14:14:14.294-04:002011-11-05T14:14:14.294-04:00"Please see Hostess" and "Wet Paint..."Please see Hostess" and "Wet Paint" are always written in invisible ink.Noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857959011594739037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-55110533946312429832011-11-04T17:38:37.831-04:002011-11-04T17:38:37.831-04:00The guy with the green paint reminds me of a lady ...The guy with the green paint reminds me of a lady that had part of her skirt stuck in her pantyhose or whatever and no one told her that her undies and butt were in full view.suzybel56https://www.blogger.com/profile/09187755428009366198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-90087275015030410522011-11-03T23:00:05.092-04:002011-11-03T23:00:05.092-04:00One of the funniest posts I have read lately, coul...One of the funniest posts I have read lately, could just picture it.fmcgmccllchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184250774341700041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706867684354336699.post-9451668515126633522011-11-03T17:40:16.092-04:002011-11-03T17:40:16.092-04:00Hahaha What a perfectly timed post.

I'm working in retail in a small clearance store for my usual employers and despite the numerous signs through out the store, the large red one at the entrance and the one on the back of the registers that all say CASH ONLY people wait until I finish ringing everything up to ask if I take credit cards.<br /><br />Goodluck with the renovations and don't lean on any columns :)Student Nurse Ashiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08283625583647020879noreply@blogger.com
