Today, I met a friend for lunch. The plan was to meet a little earlier, to avoid the noon-time rush.
So at 11:30-ish, I rode up. "ish" is a technical term, that allows 7 minutes on either side... it's a time clock thing... most nurses will understand.
After an hour or so, we finally ordered some food....
Almost 7 hours later, I find myself back home. That's a long lunch! And the ride was essentially short!
However, my time was well spent!
Our server, seemed to almost immediately "peg" us, as bikers. Was it the jeans, the wallet chains, the blown back hair... or perhaps it was the raccoon eyes and biker glove tan on our hands... She was courteous and attentive throughout our stay.
At one of her visits, my friend asked/said, "You have no idea who we are or what we do, do you?" The reply was, "I thought you guys might be truck drivers or bikers." When we told her we were ED Nurses, she literally turned pale... we both stood up, sorta an instinct, to catch her if she passed out/fell. All I could think about is "gotcha!"
She recovered, and my friend and I had excellent service for our remaining time there.
Just goes to show you, "Don't judge a book by its cover!"
