HAD A GREAT MEAL AT MEL'S DINER, THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS, THE BAD NEWS

IS THE GAME THAT WAS PLAYED BY MY SERVER, "GAMBINO'S" (SOME OF YOU WILL GET THE MEANING OF THE NAME) HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY, COMPLIMENTING ME UNNECESSARILY...WHEN I GAVE HIM A TWENTY FOR THE MEAL WHICH WAS $19.90 (AND WORTH EVERY PENNY) I GAVE HIM $20, WITHOUT THINKING, SAYING, "KEEP THE CHANGE", WHICH MEANT THAT HIS TIP WOULD BE 10 CENTS, WHICH WAS NOT AN APPROPRIATE TIP. WHEN I REALIZED MY MISTAKE I WENT AFTER HIM, BUT HE AVOIDED ME, I LEFT $5 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HE REAPPEARED, AND SAID THANK YOU, NOW WHERE GAMBINO'S MADE HIS MISTAKE, I ASKED FOR A SALAD, AND HE HAD SAID, "IT COMES WITH THE MEAL", THE SALAD WAS 3 DOLLARS AND CHANGE, AND WELL WORTH IT, AS I STATED THE MEAL OF WHITE TURKEY AND DARK MEAT, WITH STUFFING,SWEET POPTATOES, MASHED POTATOES, GRAVEY ( I WOULD HAVE LIKED MORE, IT WAS GOOD, BUT THAT WAS FINE) VEGGIES CONSISTING OF BROCOLLI,AND CARROTS...A DINNER ROLL, EVERYTHING GOOD. SO WHAT "GAMBINO'S" SHOULD HAVE SAID WAS "SURE THE SALAD WILL BE..." BUT HE DIDN'T WHICH IS WHY HAD I GIVEN HIM THE TWENTY FOR THE TURKEY DINNER, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER $16, AND THE $4 TIP WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT... NOW HERE'S MORE, THIS INSIDIOUS SMALL TOWN CALLED HOLLYWOOD DOES, BECAUSE THEY PROBABLY DO THIS BACK IN THEIR HOME TOWNS, AT LEAST THEY USED TO, BUT THAT WILL STOP, THERE WAS A WHITE BLOND WAITRESS, WHO SUDDENLY LOOKED ILL AFTER I HAD GIVEN HIM THE TWENTY, AND SHE WENT BACK AND GOT A MYRIAD OF ITEMS INCLUDING SEVERAL SHEALTHS OF BAGLES, ETC. AND HER FACE ACTUALLY BECAME DISTORTED. SUDDENLY A BLACK WAITRESS COMES OUT, TO TAKE OVER, AND I NOTICED THE OTHER BLOND WAITRESS, A HEFTY WOMAN, SMILED BROADLY AS IF SHE HAD WON A BEAUTY CONTEST... SO THE WAITRESSES APPARENTLY REPRESENT THE ETHNICITY OF THE PATRONS, IN MY CASE SINCE I'M MULTI RACIAL, THEY PLAYED THE TWO WHITE WAITRESSES AGAINST EACH OTHER, WITH THE GAMBINO'S HAPPY ABOUT THE CHARADE, BECAUSE OF WHO HE PROBABLY REPRESENTED WITH THE NAME GAMBINO, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHO THAT WAS THAT HE HAD WORKED FOR. NOTE OF ADVICE, WHEN YOU ARE SERVING, BE POLITE WATCH THE INSINCERE COMPLIMENTS, BECAUSE PEOPLE KNOW WHEN YOU ARE FALSE. THANKS FOR LISTENING. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. 11/27/14
