  • Quarter to Close

    This is a self-sighting. I'm so sorry.

    It's been a rough week. I wanted some comfort food, and for now, comfort food = gyros. There's a place 10 - 15 minutes from here, across the street from a grocery store. I could eat my gyro, do my crossword, then head across the street for some nice flowers.

    The place used to close at nine, so I left about 7:30. Once I was there, I discover the hours had been changed -- now they closed at 8. But I really wanted my gyro.

    I walked in, and the cashier informed me that the dining room would be closing in 15 minutes. I said out loud, "Maybe I should go somewhere else" -- the sandwich shop next door was open until 9, I knew for a fact. But the cashier said, "No, it's fine."

    So I ordered, sat down, and paged through the paper. I got my food at about 5 till, and ate it as fast as I could. I left at 8:05. All the chairs had been stacked. However, one other family was still eating.

    The food was quite tasty.

    As I see it
    1) You gave them the option of not serving you - you didn't demand anything.
    2) You ate quickly and were gone only 5 minutes past close, so that's not too bad.

    so there's no suck here whatsoever

      I agree. Even if they were being polite, they still agreed that it would be alright for you to order. And you were prompt, didn't loiter, and weren't in the way. Definitely no suck.

      I'm glad you got your comfort food! That's the best thing in the world.

            When you found out that you were cutting it close to closing time, why didn't you get it to go? Just curious.
            I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

            Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.
