Great post from Simplenomics—

I went to pick up our lunches and the hostess was, how shall we put this …. stupid ? An idiot ? Worthless ? I asked her if I could pick up a couple of sandwiches to go and she said she would try to find someone to take my order, but ” … they all are real good at hiding out in their places and I have trouble finding them, but when I hide, they find me. “

About 15 minutes into my ordeal, a mother and son came in. The boy looked to be 14 to 16. The hostess with the leastess says to the young man, ” Why ain’t you in school ? “ Not Hi, not welcome to XXX, not anything that you’d expect from a hostess.

The young man said, ” I’m homeschooled. ”

So The Brain says, ” Oh, that means you get to play hooky and eat lunch. “

I myself went to a public school and ate lunch every day, so I don’t know where she went or if she actually went.

So here’s the questions I have:

Will that mother and son ever eat there again ?
Will the management ever find out that she’s a complete and finely tuned utter fool ?
Can she and will she affect the repeat business ?
