Mike in Horseheads Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 finally got the computer back from my wife. I took a long walk after we had our breakfast this morning. I calmed down quite a lot. That cook at Dennys gave me my oatmeal and one scrambled egg but forgot that I was supposed to get four sausages. A side order of sausage is four links not too links. So I asked Cindy the waitress to get my other too links and she came back and said the cook only gives too links for a side order. I asked her when that changed and reminded her I have been a customer for many years here. She was nice but started to get a little pushy so I pushed back and said I wanted to talk to the manger. This big guy comes over named Ted and I said Teddy I want my other sausage links. He said the store only gives too links as a side order. I told him this was the last meal I would eat at this or any other Dennys and we walked out. The bill was $18.65 so I gave the waitress $2 and told her she would miss out on our tips for the rest of the year. You can pull the wool over the eyes of some people but I was trained and served for many, many years to make sure the customer is always right. They owed me too sausages and I won't go back to that place even though Shirl likes the fruit plate. Hope to see you guys this friday. Make sure to rsvp here if you are going to make it. H I was really looking forward to the comments on here after the brunch at Denny's Howard, I think I saw a coupon in The Sunday Star Gazette that I was going to pass on. But if you and Shirl didn't get your "too" sausages then I don't blame you at all! I hope Shirl gives you some head tonight to help with this disappointment.

Howard Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Somebody changed my writing above. It is supposed to say that Shirl and I will meet you guys for dinner at 3:30 and we can all split the bill even steven. I also made a few things to pass out to each of you in my shop. They are really neat and you guys will love them. I collect the broken maple branches from our backyard and take the bark off, then sand them down and varnish them. I keep the small twigs on the end and when they are all dry they are a great back scratcher. So I'm bringing 9 of them with me to pass out. I sometimes sell them at the flea markets and people look at me funny because it is such a great idea. So far it is me, Shirl, mr beerball, fergy and TRBJ. Cleats must be scared or something but I never mean to offend him but he is always so defensive about my past record of service. I would even treat Cleats because that's what patriotic men like me do. I miss the days when I wore the flag on my uniform. If we dont see the rest of you have a great labor day weekend (remember to be thankful for those who have labored to guarantee your freedoms when our nation was born).

Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 (edited) #roguepartners #hungrythirstyroguepartners BTW I'm going with the $215 in additional supplements. This is going to be so good. Thanks Howie. But I'm a bit concerned. If he can afford this how much is a lowly mailman's pension anyway. No wonder the country is going broke. http://cdn.thomaskeller.com/sites/default/files/media/9.3_dinner.pdf Edited September 4, 2015 by Chef Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mead107 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I hit lunch at 12:15 and told them to hold the bill for you. Told them you would be in at 3:30 to pay it. They said no problem. We always pad his bill because he is a cheap bastard. Would have loved to stay but have to be to work at 7. By the way tab was $29.57. I had them give me 2 sodas to go.
