First of all I really have nothing to blog about...I go to school everyday from 8-4, most of that time I don't even have class I just sit and read, I make my daily call to Jessica to catch up on any gossip I may have missed, then I make the long trek home(5 miles) unless someone sees me walking down the road, which happens quite often(we only have one car right now), I come home make dinner, eat dinner, watch hgtv, read our scriptures and go to bed. Pretty rad I know. Contain your excitement please.
Second, why do weird restaurant things ALWAYS happen to me? Am I such a jerky looking, sounding, acting person that people feel the need to be jerky back to me without even giving me a chance? Maybe I am a jerk but give me a chance to be jerky before you judge me so harshly. Seriously.
Here's how it went down...Our friend's were in a car accident on Thursday morning, they love blizzards, not the Utah kind the Dairy Queen kind, so we drove ALL the way to Medford. Okay so Medford isn't THAT far but still, I'm going for dramatics here. So we head out after Matt got off work. Neither one of us had dinner and by that time didn't really have time to make anything we decided to make a date of our DQ run and go out to dinner. Since Matt is cheap and on a diet it made our options limited. After much indecision, turning around, and missing exits we decided on Mucho Gusto, a personal fav of mine, not so high on the list for Matt. We go in, Matt gets something healthy and his food is made before I've even decided. I ask the nice boy if I could please have a kids meal quesadilla...he looks to the girl standing next to him. Now I'm not exaggerating about these next parts. She purses her lips together, rolls her eyes(like how dumb could I really be) and shakes her head no.
"really?!" I say...I've never heard of such a thing, everywhere in the world lets you order off the kids menu, even if they make you pay a little extra.
Again she just shakes her head.
"Hmm...well then can I just have like a small quesadilla then?"
"Um no we have small tortillas but we can only use them for kids meals" says girl.
"So I'm confused...you have the tortillas, you just won't let me by one? I've never heard of that before. Okay so then what CAN I buy that is small"
"Well we have quesdadillas they are just bigger, but we fold them in half so they look small...don't you get it" then she demonstrated how they fold them as if I've never seen a quesadilla...she clearly didn't know that I practically AM a quesadilla, with how much I eat them.
"Um ya but the thing is is that I don't want to pay 10 dollars for a quesadilla that I will eat half, especially if you have a way to make them smaller."
This goes on and on for some time...she starts shaking her hands at me, I ask for the manager, she IS the manager, Matt is embarrassed, he eats his tacos, I eat nothing.
We go to the car and Matt says why does this always happen to you?
I don't know I must breath snottiness or something.
Thats the end of my story...very bizarre...I get kids meals at the Mucho Gusto in Eugene every time I go and every other restaurant for that matter. I think she just didn't like me.

What the heck?! I can't imagine why they would not let you buy food from them. Since you left without buying anything didn't they loose out on a sale. What great customer service. Why does this stuff always happen to you? We better talk about this some more when you call tomorrow:)
Okay so I made snotty girl give me the owners number and explained what happened...owner said it was corp. policy and she did the right thing. I told her that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard and I can't understand how they would rather make no money than allow me to by food at their restaurant...especially since I've done it every other time I've gone there....I swear people don't think things through very clearly. It really makes no sense.
I love your stories. They are always the best. Your kids will be so lucky to have such a good story teller. Seriously.
And regarding girl at mucho gusto...should I come beat her up for you? Oh I shouldn't say that. Um...you should call the owner. That is ridiculous. Up here you can buy one taco instead of two. But I haven't tried to buy a kids meal for myself yet. I'm always too hungry.
She was one of those jealous witches... jealous of your hot man and your awesome beauty!!
I had a similiar frustrating experience today. My professor has a list of books we can choose do a book review, and they're located in the library "reserve" section.
Origionally you could only check these reserve books out for 2 hours. The professor was able to work out a deal for us to check them out for 2 days. (I still don't know how I can truly do a book review on a book I have to keep checking in and out every two days).
Nevertheless, I brought it back in today (after already renewing it over the phone) and they said that Sunday counts, and I was one day late. "1 day late, no problem", I think to myself. After all, the guy that checked it out to me the first time said they have a three day grace period and the late fee was only 25 cents.
So I brought the book all the way downtown to the school library today to check it in and right back out again (stupid policy!) but the girl tells me that it is one day late, and that there is a $15 dollar late fee! "What?! $15 dollars for one day late?! What about what the other guy told me?" "That's only for normal books; yours is a reserve book".
She checked it out to me again but said she "couldn't" wave the [outrageous] late fee, but instead I have to call her manager tomorrow. I'm beginning to wonder if this is really going to be worth repeating this pattern over and over instead of just buying the dang book! At that kind of late fee rate--I'll buy the stupid book.
And yes, she'll be hearing from me tomorrow. I'm not paying a penalty for a book I'm REQUIRED to read and review for class that makes it double hard to check out at the library!
YOu are hilarious. I would be ticked too. That is a really dumb policy.

Okay, so the problem is that you "asked" if you could. Next time just order it. Do you really think they are going to ask if it's for you? And then tell you no? Well, for you..maybe. Tell them it's "to go" for your "child" waiting at home! Try that...then I want to hear the story about them coming out to the dining area and confiscating your quesidilla after you took a bite from it! LOL
