WifeGeeding and I ate at Cici’s Pizza yesterday for lunch. I was at the buffet line and saw some pizza that was on the buffet line, but a little behind all the other pizza, but well within reach – it looked like it was just extra pizza for a lunchtime crowd and it couldn’t fit on the buffet line. As soon as I took a slice and put it on my plate, a manager came by and told me that he would need that pizza slice back, that it was reserved, and that was why the pizza was placed ‘back there.’ I didn’t think it was much of a big deal, although I wondered why he just didn’t place the pizza in another location so it wouldn’t be confused with ‘public’ pizza . . . but then he walks over, and with a utensil takes the pizza slice off my plate. I’m usually a pretty nice guy, especially to people in the food service industry since I’ve been there and done that, but that really urked me and I let him know about it.
I read that my middle school P.E. teacher died, who seemed kind of old when I was a student. She use to stress to us that when we stood up from a seating position from the ground not to use our hands, because we are young and strong and using hands are for older people who are weak.
From conversations with a lot of other folks, middle school isn’t a real popular term, so let me explain. When I was a ‘yoot’ (that’s a movie reference I hope all of you get) kids attended kindergarten through fourth-grade in elementary school, then fifth-and-sixth grade in middle school, seventh-and-eighth-grade at junior high, and the the rest of our public education was of course spent at high school.
For the first time in a long time I bought some graham crackers. It turns out they now package them differently, they use to seal them in rectangles, but now they are in squares.
My dad use to like to dip his graham crackers in his coffee, I like dipping them in hot tea.
Biden certainly isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.
An 11-year-old boy was alone in his house and was told to stay put, but he saw a segment on the news about a wake for a local firefighter, so he decided to put on a suit (he learned how to tie a tie from a book) and ride his bike to the wake. Once it was discovered he was alone, the firemen allowed him to ride on the firetruck to the cemetery, and he got a police escort home. Read about it here.
CiCi's…. Inexcusable!! We own a pizza place. And that hot area is open to all!! In fact I'm not real sure if they didn't violate a health regulation Good or you calling their hand on it!!
Jill is right – once the slice was on your plate that should have been the end of it, as per the "No Backsies" rule of buffet selection. Why a "reserved" pizza would be on display anywhere near the other offerings makes no sense. If it was a special order one would think the staff would have delivered it to the table.
But try to think what it looked like when the reserving party walked up to find the manager putting that slice back into the pie.
Well when I was a "yoot" in Clyde, America your went to grade school (1st -6th), Junior High (7th and 8th) and high school (9th- 12th).
