Friday after grocery shopping I stopped at my local chinese buffet.
They have a bit of everything, including crab legs.
My usual table was occupied by a loud mouth slob (food stained shirt, baggy, holey sweats with buttcrack visible, etc.) and his wife/Gf/SO.
I got settled in, received my drink and headed to grab a few crab legs, when I saw the cook heading for the buffet with a fresh pan. Oh my............
S (slob) became suddenly very mobile, knocked a few chairs over, shoved some small children out of the way and lunged at the crab legs. In a matter of 30 seconds he managed to pile every one of the crab legs onto 2 plates.
Fine, I started with some soup, while I heard them slurping on their trophies clear accross the room.
15 minutes later the cook nervously peeked around the corner with another steaming pan of crablegs in hand. Same scenario of S becoming instantly mobile as before with the added bonus of one of the shoved children running crying to their parents.
After much discussing, in chinese, the proprietors of the establishment (it's a family affair) must have decided to wait S out before putting out more crablegs.
S first started to loudly inquire when there would be more. The waitress (20 year old daughter of proprietor) just politely smiled and nodded, doing the little head bow thing.
S turned up the volume and intensity, complaining about false advertising (What? all it says is chinese buffet) which waitress pointed out to him. Then he complained about how the crab legs he already had were too salty and he wanted a new order. Little chinese lady (LCL) pointed him toward the chicken and broccoli which was advertised as low sodium.
Lastly he decided to critisize the temperature of the crablegs, which at this point had been on his table for up to 20 minutes. LCL also pointed that out to him.
And finally.........
wait for it..........
"I'M NEVER COMING HERE AGAIN!!!"
To which the LCL gave a proper bow and said "Thank You"
I high fived her.
