Just had a very nice meal at a restaurant I'm reviewing, except some schlub is puffing away on a stogie. Yes, we're outside. But I believe the law is that you can't smoke within like 20 feet of the restaurant.
But there's the guy stinking up the place.
I usually hold my tongue. And my nose. Especially when I'm on the job. But I couldn't help myself. Cue hubby rolling his eyes and going: Uh-oh.
The server told the smoker to put it out, and the owner came over to our table to apologize. And give me a $20 gift certificate to come back another time. Now, that's the right way to handle a stinky situation.
I commend the management for handling it properly. I also don't blame you for speaking up, because I would have too. I have no problem with people smoking, unless it's infringing on my right to enjoy my meal AND it's in violation of the ordinances. Good for you.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I got on the elevator in our building around eight Saturday morning to walk over to the farmer's market. It was chock-a-block with smoke and a guy standing there puffing on a stogie. That's pretty hardcore and did kinda throw me off me feed. Didn't buy a single thing.
