The Witch Has Been Banned by Cracker Barrel!

Okay, I haven't really been banned from there, but the darling Czech Pecker says my photo will probably go up all over Cracker Barrels in the vicinity. Why, you ask? I refuse to deal with rude people.

After the darling Czech Pecker was given the OKAY by his surgeon on Friday to start back on solid food, he had a craving for Cracker Barrel. I asked if he was craving clogged arteries, too, but that's another story altogether. So, off we go, the entire Funny Farm, sans the furry inmates, but including the father-in-law. We walked in. It was a somewhat busy Friday evening, but I have certainly seen much worse. The hostess started to seat us at a table right at the entrance. Apparently, some other family had just been seated next to us, in the same area covered by a certain waitress.

It was that waitress who got on The Witch's bad side

Just as the nice hostess was seating us, the waitress turned on the hostess and very rudely said, "You are just going to have to wait to seat them!" The tone was rude, and I thought it was very uncalled for, for her to speak that way to the hostess in front of people. I turned my eyes over to her, gave a good "You did NOT just do that???" look, and I quietly but firmly told the darling Czech Pecker, "I will NOT stay here and deal with somebody so rude." And I walked away. I really didn't care if the family followed or not. I figured if they thought the woman's behavior was okay, they could stay and eat while I sat out front. As it turns out, the darling Czech Pecker followed me. I told him that, while I can certainly appreciate the feeling of being overwhelmed with work, it is not an excuse to treat somebody else in that manner. He decided that we would go to another Cracker Barrel a few miles down the road. And I asked him to apologize to the hostess. It was not her fault.

He did end up with his Cracker Barrel. At the next one, as we were walking in, some bluegrass music was playing. My Boy starting doing this...dance...that I cannot even explain. I need to record it and put it out on YouTube. It was so funny that I had tears in my eyes, and I really thought that I was going to hurt my ribs from laughing.

So, now you all know...if you see The Witch's photo in your local Cracker Barrel, let it be known that I don't take rudeness or moron behavior lightly!

I love you and the fact that you can stand up for your principals without being rude yourself. Tell PJ I want to see this dance and soon.
