Gift Cards Galore
On Sunday night we went out to eat hoping to not only enjoy dinner but use up some gift cards in the process. Imagine our surprise when we came home not only having not spent any of our gift cards, but actually coming home with $35 more. How?First, there was hair in our appetizer. We told the waiter who apologized. Then there was hair in another dish. We told our waiter who then told the manager. He came over and apologized, said the meal was on the house, and gave us more gift cards.
I know there's a sermon illustration here somewhere.

maybe your sermon could be about the guilt you feel for putting hair in your food to get more gift cards, and then blogging a lie.
@strawberries_and_cream - Ouch!
That's awesome! Little did you know your romantic evening would take such a turn. Good eye, good eye. I want to keep an eye out for hairs in my pasta now too!
ahhhhhhhh hahahaha that's great =D
wow, hair twice in one meal......what kind of place were you at???
@NedFlanders80 - It was an Italian restaurant.
Yeah seriously. I don't want to eat there. I'm no good at spotting things in my food. I probably wouldn't realize there were cockroaches all over my plate until I started crunching on one. And even then, I'd just figure something got burnt.
@Perloo - Yeah, I always wonder why the antidote / response to a poor customer experience is more money at that establishment ... as if we would want to go back. (which we will
)
hee hee...i read your story and need to present philbert's theory....that is....that God always provides for his workers in interesting ways. it seemed like every other time i went out with ppl, restaurants/sandwich places would forget my order, make the wrong sandwich, etc. and i'd get it free! doesn't happen much anymore.....ahh...i miss wg grinders.
