Ok so how about next week everything goes back to normal. Do you think that’s possible? It feels like my posts have been all over the place too which I hate. But oh well, such is life.
I have been working my ass off today which is something I rarely do on Fridays but it feels good to be productive and have something accomplished by the end of the day.
I think tonight we are going to head down to English Bay for Date Night. We were suppose to do that last Friday but it rained, and then things went sour. Tonight though, it is sunny and beautiful outside so I think it will be perfect. The plan is to head down there and go for a walk and then hit up Flying Wedge for some crazy midnight pizza. This is a summer tradition I look forward to every year. The only thing is we are having steaks and baked potatoes for dinner and the thought of that AND pizza makes me feel like the fattest person ever. We will have to go for a long walk in between meals.
I kind of think my head is going to explode right now.
Right so anyways, the Swiss Chalet…
Dinner at the Swiss Chalet with Matt on Wednesday night was good though I really doubt I will go back again. I’m sorry but I can not handle the atmosphere in there. Some how, both times I ‘ve been, the place has been packed with loud fat people shoving chicken in their faces. I told Matt next time we are going to HAVE to order out. This chicken is good, but the people are not.
We were seated next to this couple and the wife was on the phone yammering so loud about her cell phone bill and how shes pissed off and yadda yadda. I wanted to throw a toasted roll at her head of but you know the toasted rolls are too precious for that. Then the waiter proceeded to bring her a glass of Ice Tea, her husband some coffee, then Matt & I glasses of water.
On his way back past their table she promptly asks him if they serve Tap Water when people ask for Water. To this he replies Yes then walks away. He comes back a few minutes later to bring us our food, drops it off and then turns toward the couples table. She shouts out to him asking what he would do if someone was allergic to tap water. He says that they also serve bottled water. So she says to him – “Well, I will have you know that I am HIGHLY allergic to tap water”…
I’m sorry WHAT!?
- Who the hell is ACTUALLY allergic to Tap Water? OK I’m sure there might be someone out there. Actually come to think of it I think Oprah once did a special on this, but in Vancouver…at the Swiss Chalet…COME ON!
- Why the hell are you even tell the waiter this when you CLEARLY ordered an ICE TEA (which I am sure was watered down with TAP WATER)??? WHAT DOES YOUR ICE TEA HAVE TO DO WITH YOU BEING “HIGHLY” ALLERGIC TO TAP WATER???
- I’m pretty sure all the cutlery you are using was washed in TAP WATER so whats going to happen now??? ARE YOU GOING TO DIE???
- GET OVER YOURSELF AND WASH YOUR GREASY PONY TAIL!!!
When I heard this conversation taking place I almost lost it. Well, I did loose it in my head. This is why I dine at classier places. Yes, the Swiss Chalet is beneath me. I will admit it, I am a food snob, and clearly this situation here demonstrates why I have to be a food snob. I can not handle people like this. I almost wasted a chicken leg by throwing it at this womans face!!

Le sigh.
I am now going to down my frustration in Steak and Pizza.
I know you wish you were me.

She probably needed someone to acknowledge just how pathetic she is. I only truly enjoy dining out when friends and booze is involved.

Posts like this is what first drew me to your site. Christ, that was a funny read!

Hahahahaha – Allergic to tap water? I think I said that once when I was about 5 and wanted my dad to buy me something better to drink.
I would have dipped the toasty roll in tap water and thrown it at her face.
I never eat at the Swiss Chalet. I ate their last year and got such shitty service that Chris and I vow to never go back!

Stumbled across your blog a few months back, love reading them! Love the story about the tap water lady. Definitely should have said something to her!

Oh, that “Anonymous” was me. Sorry, commented on my phone. And I can’t believe you got a pic of her too. I would so do it too if my phone didn’t make this loud “chick-chick” sound whenever I took a pic. ;)

I wonder what she bathes in. Pond water I suspect.

I would have dumped my glass of water on her and waited to see if she broke out in hives.
Also, Swiss Chalet is a total dump, but damn I miss living in a province where it was the best of the dumpy restaurants :(
