my friend blondie
was supposed to meet me
for
lunch/brunch
shopping
she texted
her throat was sore
she wasnt up to it
i was sad
compensated
by having a leg massage
along with my mani pedi
while i was enjoying my beautification™
blondie texted
she had to go out get some meds
she needed to eat lunch
if i wasnt afraid
of
catching her germs
would i meet her anyway
i replied
i was fearless
where to go
it was spitting
neither of us
wanted to go far
opened
on broadway at 76 street
neither of us have been to their other location down on hudson
we wondered
did it serve communist eggs?
its a chinese restaurant
with
a dim sum
noodles
salad
sharing
mentality
long farm tables
some little booths
we opted for a booth
its an interesting menu
after some explanation by a hyper waitress
we both
opted
to order
rice noodles with vegetables
eventually
one bowl arrived
we quizzed
the not our waitress young woman
who brought it
were we to share this
or
was another bowl on its way
she would check
while we waited
we both picked
at the contents of the bowl
it was tasty
the not our waitress returned to say
our waitress
had written up
only one serving
well
how long
before
we can get another serving?
she promised to expedite it
then
our actual waitress
showed up to say
she would get the second order placed
we continued to talk and pick/share
when we were done
blondie gestured for the waitress
i said
we dont want the second order
we're done
she
was
so sorry for the confusion
and
then
she
blamed
the
kitchen
we listened
nodded
then she left
we looked at one another
blondie waved the manager over
explained it to him
asking for the check
he apologized
after he left
she said to me
if he is smart he will not charge us at all
i said
i dont think he's that smart
yet another person
brought the check
as we argued
over
how small tip
vs
no tip
the manager
came back with a bag
the order was ready
please take it with our compliments
we are very sorry for the confusion
we thanked him
left the waitress a small tip
had she
just said
my bad so sorry
we would have tipped her the full amount
but
she blamed the kitchen for her mistake
and
that
is just not nice
by the way the food is very good
even if the service is still being worked on
i recommend it
i think
i will be going back
but
not til they work out the kinks
