I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

A post I wrote months ago!!!!

I answer the phone tonight around 5:15. It’s busy.

A guy says, hey do you have room for 4 tonight.

I say, I’m sorry I won’t have any tables for 4 tonight.

He says, what about at the bar.

I repeat that I won’t have any room for 4 tonight.

He says, what about for a GREAT regular.  

I think to myself.

He has no idea who he is talking to, so he is not a regular at all, let alone a great regular. Anyone who eats with us regularly would have said, hey Jeff any chance you could get 4 of us in tonight?

Instead, he asked for a GREAT regular.

I apologized and said that I couldn’t.
