Restaurant Coffee

When you walk into a "good" restaurant they will seat you politely and immediately they make a few assumptions. Number one is that EVERYBODY likes coffee, and the second one is that you do not mind paying $ 2.00 for a cup. Ok, $1.89....plus tax. All it costs them is probably not more then 4 cents, ...5 if it comes in a clean cup. Yes I do like coffee, but only after I carefully mix it to my specification, with cream and sugar. The problem is, that when you are half done, a wandering waiter decides to "warm it up". Does he not realize that this totally spoils the mixture and that it is hard to restore it to my preferred quality. What can you do about this? How do you protect your vulnerable cup? Hide it under the table? Or cover it with a saucer? Or possibly a stern look of disapproval will do it.

Then at last you are at the cashier to put the whole experience on your credit card. It is time to go home, but not before you have one more look back. Yes, there he is, the coffee waiter is still at it. Tipping his coffee pot at other unsuspecting victims! Posted by Picasa

See? this is why I prefer Diet coke. "Filler-up, Waiter!!'

However, for the price of one "refillable" glass of diet coke, I could by 4 or 6 litres of it at Walmart.

Scam artists....
