For a printed menu to ever come off the press wrong is inexcusable, but my favourite is the daily specials blackboard.
I have on occasion in my regular haunts grabbed the chalk, stood on a chair, and made amendments. It's usually met with a laugh from the staff.
I have done that too! I can't remember what was mispelled but I found the dry eraser and pen and changed the spelling.. customers saw it but the staff was
non existent..
it was followed by two customers waiting that came up to me saying "SIR do you work here as we have been waiting for 10 minutes and not even recongnized or seated.. i am very upset.. this place sucks" (well why don't u leave) BUT seeing a perfect chance for karma to come around grabbed two menus and said "OH I am so sorry.. we were just busy.. follow me" I walked them into the restaurant and sat them and was handing the menus when the bedazzled manager came up "who are you.. "
i said "oh just another customer assisting people you should.. have a nice day" .. i walked off and the look on the guilbile customers and bedazzled manager was
priceless
I was with a friend at the time whose mouth was on the floor by this time in shock ..
the customers had to walk back to the waiting area and never looked at me.. It was so hiliarious!! Everyone else waiting just was trying to not laugh
