Dinner is on me.

http://www.proteinpower.com/drmike/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/place-setting-blogsize.jpgI have a little lesson to teach you about restaurant etiquette. Saturday night my friends and I went to 'On The Border' after Amtgard. There were about ten of us and as most of us know large numbers make things hectic for the wait staff. To make things easier on herself our waitress decided to give us a pitcher of Coke. As she was placing the pitcher on the table fate stepped in and the pitcher tipped. Mostly onto the table, and partially onto me. I screamed and I hollered, and sat there quietly and wiped up the mess. The waitress returned with napkins and apologized profusely. I told her it was fine, life happens and not to worry about it. She told me the pitcher was on the house. Free drinks! Booyah! We proceeded to order our food, my friend Nick ordered the same thing I did. When the staff brought out our food I let Nick get his plate first. I'm in no hurry and what's it really matter? Lo and behold our tables' ticket had gotten messed up. I assume the waitress either forgot to mark 2x grilled enchiladas or the chefs didn't see that there were two being ordered. Who knows, the point is my plate was delayed. Our waitress spoke to her boss, and then told me that dinner would be free as well. Free dinner Booyah!!

Moral of the story. If somebody in your party orders the same thing as you, be polite and let them get served first.

Arthur is promoting being nice? Another sign of the Amtgard Apocalypse... Btw, this is Ryuke, not Doogan.
