It's almost like lunch never even happened today

03 February 2006

It's hard to believe my co-workers somehow wrestled me in to joining them for lunch at *gasp* Applebee's.

I know I know I know... Applebee's. Since when do I *do* Applebee's you asked? There's no good answer. I'm as embarrassed about the whole thing and feel really uncomfortable just writing about it.

However...

The absolute *best* part of lunch was when the waitress took my plate at the end of the meal and said...

Her: "Would you like your water wrapped up to go?"
Me: .... *blank stare* ....
Me: *blink. blink blink* "Excuse me?"
Her: "Your water. Would you like it wrapped up to go?"
Me (making a stupid, non-comprehending face): "Uhhhhh, that's what I thought you said. And, um... no thank you. I'm quite finished with my water."

She then giggled and exited stage right.

There's pretty much nothing else I can add to that little exchange. Wow.

sounds like she was flirting with you for a bigger tip and / or your number...

that's a level of service you won't find anywhere else. I may go there just to see how it's done. do they have many vegan options?

Ummmm, they have salads?

Other than that I think you're outta luck :(.
