We decided last night was a good night to go out for dinner. We kicked around a few ideas, but most of the places were quite the distance from our home, so we thought we'd settle for Wingers (just a few short blocks from our house). They have been advertising their Fajita Platters for $9.99 and it seems their kids' menu is reasonably priced.
As we were pulling into the parking lot, Coralee looked over and noticed another restaurant had recently opened up. We were thrilled to find out that it was a Training Table, one of our favorite places to go.
We quickly changed our mind on where we were eating out and pulled into the Training Table's parking lot.
The place is so new, the aroma from within was of carpenter's glue, not hamburgers and fries. After speaking with the restaurant's manager, I learned the place only opened up on Friday at 7:00pm.
Jeff and Bryse had a Hickory Burger. Coralee had a Chile Verde Burger; I had a Guacamole Bacon Burger and we picked up some cheese fries, onion rings and chicken strips to divide amongst the other children. Entire family of eight fed for only $33.00 . Yeeee haaaah!
Those of you not familiar with the Training Table (a Utah original); one orders dinner by picking up a telephone attached to the wall above the table. The order is placed and when the food is ready, the phone rings.
When our phone rang, I walked up to the counter to pay for the food. Standing near the cash register was a young married couple.
The restaurant's manager commented to the couple, "please don't give birth in our restaurant. The carpet is new."
I looked up, incredulous to what I was hearing. I didn't dare look to my left to see the couple's reaction. I figured the manager's comment was embarrassing enough; why magnify the manager's statement with a crazy, wild-eyed gawk from me?
The manager continued, "I have been trained to deliver babies, but I would rather train my new employees on how to serve food rather than train them on how to deliver a baby!"
I paid for my food and carried it back to my table.
I thought to myself, "I wonder if doctors are trained to flip burgers and run a cash register?"

Guacamole bacon? And I thought my cholesterol was high. After a meal like that you almost need lypo for your arteries!!!! Not to worry, though. Next time I see you'll I'll buy you a fruit salad.
ReplyDeleteJust depends on what jobs they had in high school & college. My husband can 1)pregnancy test cows; 2)set a full banquet hall in 15 minutes, tables, chairs & tablecloths, then serve the dinner; 3)cook a full mexican fast-food menu. His patients probably care more about his surgical & diagnostic skills however.
