Something Different

Yes, I know I posted this morning, but i must say this: There is nothing more annoying than a person who thinks they are the best thing on the face of the earth and expects everything for nothing! I was having a late lunch with one of my best girl-friends today at a very popular restaurant, possibly the most popular for where I live, when this woman walked in and asked to speak to a manager. That was fine, not a problem! When the manager arrives, the woman looks...agitated. My friend and I return to our discussion of her latest boyfriend and how wonderful he is (I have met him, and I must say he is pretty wonderful!). We are talking about this again for maybe a minute when the woman begins to raise her voice to the manager. The manager, trying to remain calm with the woman, asks if she would "please step outside, ma'am, and we will discuss this further." The woman turns a very deep red and screams, yes screams, at the, what I'm sure was, the top of her lungs at the manager! I look at my best friend and she looks back at me with the same horror! What on earth could this woman possibly have to be screaming this loudly about? answer: "I want you to accept my daughter's resume and I want you to start her working tomorrow!" yes, this was a mother, screaming, who wanted her daughter to work in this particular restaurant because it is the best....I understand this, but screaming about it...and if the daughter wanted it that badly then she should have been there herself!

Anyway, the woman did step outside and the manager came in a little while later. He apologised profusely for the interuption to our lunch and looked highly embarrassed that it had happened on his watch. We both assured him that it was O.K. and that there was no problem. We continued eating our lunch with no other interuptions, thank goodness! I must say though, it was the topic for discussion for the rest of the afternoon....until we went shoe shopping that is! :)

  1. That's crazy! What an insane person. How could she possibly think the manager is going to give her daughter a job and then have to deal with her lula mother. I weep for her daughter!

    And shoe shopping just makes everything else disappear, doesn't it? :-)
