I find it simply amazing just how many people are experts at what YOU should or should not be eating on a daily basis. The cafe that I frequent for lunch has a house full of wonderful servers, but I hate it when both of my favorites are not at work on the same day.
Well, 2 days in a row now I've gone in and ordered a grilled chicken breast and 2 veggie skewers. All was going well until I asked for some lemon for my water. The server, same one as yesterday, began to tell me how bad lemon was for me on the diet that I am obviously on. Since I've never mentioned to anyone there that I am dieting, I was quite taken aback by her remark. She went on to tell me how her mother does this or that, blah, blah, blah... She left the table after I made the remark that my diet is my concern and her concern should be providing me the service I ask for.
The owner came over shortly after and apologized after she told him that she had upset me. After he "apologized" with a slight grin on his face, he sat down with me to chat while I had my lunch. The server from that point forward seemed scared to death each time she came to the table... We didn't tell her that we had known each other for over 30 years and he sits with me a couple of times a month when I come in.
I love eating lunch there, they make a KILLER chicken breast!
