LilZ won his soccer game, but I lost my war effort with a meatball sub.
We had our first soccer game tonight (found out at the last minute that last weekend was a bye) and we won. We actually won by 4-0! We have never been part of a winning team before, so it was quite an experience for us. LilZ played a really good game and had some good defensive moves. I am very proud of him.
Afterwards, we went to Firehouse Subs for dinner. It was evidentally “Stoner Night” behind the counter because while we were waiting for our order, ONE two-woman combo demanded a refund because their order was messed up twice, TWO families came up to the counter to complain their food was taking too long, and one guy pointed out he had been charged wrong on his receipts.
Then, came our order.
My sub had cheese on it which I had asked for there NOT to be (and it was right on the receipt) since I’m mildly lactose intolerant. No biggie, right? I’ve worked the food industry before, it’s okay to make mistakes. So, LilZ ate his chili and MrZ at his sub while I waited for mine to be remade. While I was waiting, THREE orders were put in at the counter. After the THIRD of those orders was delivered, I started thinking that maybe, JUST MAYBE, they had forgotten about me. So, after twenty minutes of drooling over MrZ’s food, I stumbled my way up to the counter and asked where my sub was. They both looked at me like I had two-heads and then the realization clicked.
“Oh my gosh,” one of them said, “that’s right, I’m sorry. I’ll get that RIGHT OUT TO YOU.”
They had forgotten about the ORDER of a PREGNANT woman. That is like the number one “No-No” in the food industry. Well, actually, the first “No-No” is screwing up the pregnant woman’s order. But, if you are lucky enough to have a FORGIVING pregnant woman (like Yours Truly) then you definitely should NOT forget to remake her sandwich because you are already lucky she didn’t EAT YOU the second she realized her order was wrong.
I finally got my sandwich LONG after MrZ and LilZ finished their dinners. Luckily, it was good (as usual) and I was still in a good mood from our Victory. They’d better not pull the same shit after a game we LOSE. Or someone WILL get eaten.
Congrats to LilZ. I am glad you are part of a winning team this season! Last baseball season, my oldest was part of the county championship team, but the youngest was part of a team that didn’t d so well. Comes with the territory, I guess.
Those idiots! I understand making mistakes in the food industry, too….but damn. Seems they made an awful lot of mistakes before making the cardinal mistake of making a pregnant woman wait an insane amount of time for her food!
I have a feeling that next time they do that to you, they’re getting a fork in the eye.
Just my prediction…
Yeah LilZ!!! Pregnant women are a force to be reckoned with!
They’re just asking to go out of business, not bringing a pregnant woman her correct order in time! The nerve!
Congrats LilZ!
mmm, meatballs subs are SO good! Normally at lunch I’ve been getting a yummy salad, but when the cafe has meatballs subs or pulled pork sandwiches…no salad for me that day!
If there’s one thing I can’t stand (and there is) it’s to ask for service, get a promise of delivery, and then be instantly forgotten. Hoo boy that rankles.
congrats to LilZ……
Man, I go ballistic when someone F-s up my food order…..but you ?- being pregnant ?- HOLY CRAP are they nuts?
I’m SO jealous. I miss Firehouse Subs soooooooooo much. I’ve been craving Firehouse for months and months and months!!!!!
Oh, I LOVE Firehouse Subs meatball subs…YUMMY *stomach growling*
