Yes, Ask My Mom
Monday, 17 September 2007 by Jacob TomawStephen Dubner asks “Do Restaurants Blacklist Low-Spending Customers?” He is focused on high-end places, but if you ask my mom you will know that she is on the shit-list of every buisness out there, especially restaurants.
Ever wanted to know what the kitchen of your favorite resturaunt looks like? Ask my mom out for dinner and you will be seated as close as possible.
Ever wanted to know what it is like to fill your own glasses? Take Vicky out for a meal and she will also serve the tea, because the waitress will not.
Want to be the first to have their order taken in a resturant? I cannot gaurantee you will be first, but if my mom is at a nearby table, the odds of your order being taken before hers goes up dramaticlly.
You think I am joking? Not on my mother’s life! Ask her about the flowers to my Grandma Tomaw’s funeral sometime for a non-restaurant experience.

This is hilarsious! However, you forgot one. Are you looking for a cheap meal? Take Vicky out to dinner, and your odds of getting your meal at a “reduced” rate or free go up drastically. The reasons you listed above, almost always result in getting either the meal at little or no cost.

Now wait just a minute……free/reduced meals are not the norm Dana!!! Glad once again I can bring a little humor into your blog Jacob.
