When your name rhymes with Cupid..

[nuthing12]

My friend does work for a major restaurant chain. He got this email from a customer who obviously has no clue how life really works, and I swear to you, he actually called the guy back to see if this was a prank and it wasn't. The guy was serious. Names have been changed to protect the dumb.


Please forward to your CEO.

I eat at your restaurant nearly everyday. But I am in a desperate situation. I'm a former technician who has not been able to find a full-time job now for almost 3 years. But I get to mentor and teach piano lessons for $10 an hour at a school near your store.

My offer to you is this...I will eat at your restaurant everyday for the rest of my life if you will help me purchase one of the condos in the area. They run about 50-80k. My main function in life is simply to be in the same neighborhood as my kids (who live with their mother) and to keep improving myself.

I love going to your restaurant and hope you will seriously consider this proposal.

Sincerely yours,
My name rhymes with Cupid

So wait...he actually wanted the CEO of a restaurant to help him buy a condo? Um...I think my brain just came to a screeching halt. WTF? What level of fictional existence does this guy live in??? Wow!

[CalyCoRose]

I think my brain exploded after reading this.

If he sends it to enough restaurants, around that area, maybe he'll get enough to ... eat at one of them?

Wow. Just ... wow.

[Pixilated]

Wow, I'm gonna try that with my favourite local restaurant!

"I will eat at your restaurant every day for the rest of my life if you fund the rest of my schooling."

Seriously ... ... sounds like this guy has been watching WAY too much bad television.

Gonna buy me a condo.
Gonna buy me a cuisinart.
Get d'ee wall-to-wall carpating.
Get d'ee wallet full o' credit cards.

Hmmm, let's think about the money side of this. Let's say the restaurant makes two bucks on every meal the guy eats there. So $80,000 divided by 365 days a year divided by two bucks a meal. He'd have to eat there everyday for the next 109 years and that's not counting interest.

What a wacky request.

Weird Al?

[Beki710]

That's a whole new level of crazy! (I may just have to try it... )

[tropicsgoddess]

I dunno whether to laugh or shake my head at this SC's proposal.

CEO's response:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....No.

I think I have a new best friend!

He's about 6 months late (or early) for April Fools day.

I highly doubt he'll be successful...but I guess some people feel it can't hurt to ask?

Kinda reminds me of Wimpy from the Popeye shorts.
