The Ugly Table (#26)

by

I LIKE OBAMA. TODAY ANYWAY.

It seems like in one swift motion Obama has solved obesity while increasing my dessert sales.

Well, at least he has increased my dessert sales.

Yesterday we implemented a new policy, no bread before a meal unless they want it. (It’s part of Obama’s secret plot to make Americans healthy while he smokes cigs on the WH’s back forty)

We must ‘Ask’ customers if they want bread now.

At first, I thought, OH BOY, here comes the complaints.

But I soon found out 50% of the people said, “No, I don’t want to fill up before the meal.”

I sold a lot of cheesecake and ice cream yesterday.

    The desserts sound like my kind of meal. lol However, I do like breads too.

    I love that bread…. I once ate a meal with a few friends where our loaf:person ratio was at least a solid 1.2:1.

    It isn’t for everybody though, so it seems like a good policy. I hate to see food go to waste if people don’t even want it.

    Day II of the experiment, half my tables refused the bread, drank more and ordered dessert.

    I love you Obama.
