December 7, 2022 - Pt. 2

Today I opted not to taste the food at work. There was no particular reason that I opted not to taste the food at work. I just didn’t want to. It’s Wednesday and we won’t be busy tonight, I thought. And wouldn’t you know the one time I opt not to taste the food at work which is part of my job, mind you, the owner of our restaurant and his family come in for dinner. And wouldn’t you know that the one night I opted not to taste the food at work, the chips were stale, the carnitas pork was too tough to chew, and the seafood plate was completely wrong. And wouldn’t you know they ordered all of it. The owner came over to ask me if I tasted the food before we opened. I told him no. He asked why not. I told him I didn’t want to. He thanked me for being honest and we carried on with the rest of the night.
