Recipes for Tragedy

If you have been reading this blog you get that I'm in the service biz. I was talking last week to a regular customer about an incident that happened. Nothing too dramatic but a mini drama. I said the thing some people don't get is that if they were just nice they would have a really good time. The problem is that some of these RFTs (recipes for tragedy) tend to go to sarcasm and rudeness to their service people and expect to have it all work in their demented scenario of how it all should be and then have a beautiful night (see below PPs)....ahhhh...sorry, it never works that way.

So, a few days later I experienced a major RFT group at my place. All seemed good at first and I knew one of the group so I went over to see how they were doing. Then the major RFT of the group ripped into me like I had destroyed her life. I was like, wow, where did that hostility come from? Later on in this RFT travesty I found out that there was some underlying back story going on. I thought it was amusing but decided to keep out of the limelight on this one. But RFTs are like belligerent drunks (and that probably was the real cause of this drama) in that they don't disappear without an obnoxious fight...and the RFTs at this table were looking for a fight.

What's a Big D to do? Well, for me its a big "here's your check and good night". Which has the subtext in this drama of that if you want to be a complete asshole you got to pay for it and by the way we've had a long day, so get out!

Needless to say that subtext doesn't sit well with belligerent RFTs and they always move towards confrontation and more obnoxiousness. Which the RFTs in this group did with great gusto. Honestly I felt bad for the woman with the group who almost cried and said "this is the worst birthday I....blah, blah, blah". Well honey, you choose the people you celebrate with, so, the piece of your personal puzzle you are missing is that with RFTs, its not your party but theirs and you probably don't even realize that they stole your day and to top it off, you didn''t have a clue they did it. But I guess its the old Captain of the Egyptian Swimming Team syndrome. You know, where do they swim? In de Nile.

Maybe I have that Big Apple jadedness. Hmmmm....... Nah...Not really, because I really like people. I just can't stomach the B & T assholesness and the "What are you going to do for me?" bullshit.

The RFTs of the world make me want to take up the banner for Banning the Banal!

The planet is on the verge of collapse and we have to deal with mediocrity? Why?

Ok so this endless blockbuster went on like this. They were leaving and the major RFT tells me "this place sucks" which I curtly respond "Ahhh....No, its just not the place for you, so goodnight." Then the super QEA (queen entitlement of Asbury) of the group says to me that there was need to be condescending. I paused a second and thought for the eternity of a micro moment, what reality are you living in? But responded, "whatever, go, leave" The QEA wants to keep going with me and I say, ".....no, no, just get out."

Only in the Little Apple Kids....
