Spinach Salad
We went out to lunch today at a local restaurant that was featured in season two of Alton Brown's Feasting on Asphalt. Pie Town Stompin' Grounds looked like a fun little local place and we looked it up online last night, perused the menu and decided to give it a go.
I suppose I am somewhat of a picky eater. I try to eat natural foods and I'm pretty conscious of what I put into my body. I ordered the spinach salad and asked for no croutons and no dressing. Easy order I think.
In a while the food came to the table and my salad was covered with bacon dressing. The waitress put it in front of me and said, "Oh they put dressing on that, didn't they?"
I said, "Yes, I wanted no dressing and no croutons. I don't want the bacon either."
She was a little "not all there" to begin with and apparently this request put her over the edge. She got all blank and said, "No bacon?"
I said, "No bacon, no dressing, no croutons. Just vegetables and the egg."
My family is happily eating away.
Several long minutes later the waitress came back and said, "We're out of spinach, can we give you the salad on regular lettuce?"
My family is now half done eating.
I said that was fine.
My. Salad. Never. Came.
Spacey girl met us at the counter when we got up to pay. Wayne said, "She never got her salad."
She said, "Yeah. I know. Sorry."
Wayne asked her to be sure she took it off of the bill. She just said, "Yeah. I won't charge you for that."
Unbelievable. If it's going to happen it'll happen to me.
