Better the Manners, Better the Business

We saw yesterday on a makeshift fence at the area they are bulldozing the old Mountain View School and putting in a upscale shopping center that they will have a MOD Pizza and a Jim and Nicks BBQ.  We like them both.

Speaking of Jim and Nick’s BBQ, we were near the one on South Cobb Drive today.  We had lunch there.  It appears the management must have just given the staff a lesson in mandatory good manners.  We had not had both our feet in door yet when the receptionist complemented Anna’s hair.

Our waitress could not be nicer to us. She seemed personally concerned how we liked our food,   And she kept the little hot cheese biscuit coming.  

Those tasty little biscuits are tasty.  But they are also full of calories.  As soon as we finished one little basket she replaced it with another basket of piping hot biscuits or rolls, whatever they are.

I wondered how do we turn them down without being rude?

I got it!   Turn the basket over and maybe that would quietly and politely say, “Thanks, but no thanks!”
