I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

The weather here finally broke this week. 

Last week was hot and humid.  Think central Kentucky hot, with temps in the high 90’s and the only way the humidity could be higher was if it were actually raining.

Hot.  Muggy.  Sweltering. 

Oppressive to quote my friend Donna Jo. 

The a/c in our restaurant struggled all last week.  It is not meant to work as hard as it was, because temps aren’t supposed to be that hot here.

Today was the opposite. 

Today was one of those perfect days here.  The right temp all day.

And inside it was the perfect amount of cool. 

At least to me.

Table 37 was seated at 7:00 and the first thing they did was to complain about the temperature.  The women were cold. 

I moved the thermostat from 70* to 71*.  They were happy. 

And it stayed on 71* for about an hour, until I came in from outside at one point and it was HOT in the dinning room.  HOT. 

I was glad Jen was not working as she’d have been melting. 

So, I moved the thermostat from 71* to 70* and wouldn’t you know 90 seconds later the server comes and tells me the table 37 is cold again.

And I think to myself, do I turn the thermostat up for five people or leave it where it is for 102 people. 

I left it alone.

Sometimes my comfort trumps everyone else’s comfort.
