Red Lobster Dispute

image163225948.jpgWell despite my run in with the local sandal wearing, tree hugging, almighty deity belevin freak this afternoon, we decided to go to Red Lobster for a really nice nosh up with our oh so friendly waiter (tip, tip, tip) Scott, who after tellin us he had a slight speech impediment, to which I pointed out that talking like an American wasn’t much of an impediment, more a way of life (in a rather loud tone). Way to hush an entire restaurant in one sentence.

Anyway town alienated (see what I did there) Mrs Fogg decided to debate the bill for the sake of mash potatoes. Wow what a debate ensued, as Scott tried to explain that the asparagus and mash was two sides, and the main course only comes with one side included. Mrs Fogg pointed out that since the mash was one side and therefore included, she should only be paying for the extra asparagus ($2.49). Scotty tried arguing that he was actually saving her 40 cents by the way he had put the bill through, but Mrs Argumentative refused to have any of it and demanded he go away to recalculate. Scotty tail between legs duly did so begrudgingly. Whilst he was away Mrs Fogg read the small print claiming that one side would constitute a “substitute” and therefore was not as part of the meal.

Scotty returned looking rather sheepish after finding that if he had added the items in a different order we actually would save about 70 cents off the bill. Mrs Fogg sat looking rather smug and accepted the unoffered apology.

Roswell we salute you, the Fogg’s have hit this town, hooh yah!

We rocked Roswell from here.
