Stupity and Rudeness

Friday night in July in Saratoga is usually mobbed and trying to go to a restaurant between 7 and 8 pm if you don't have reservations is next to hopeless.

We were at one of our favorite restaurants tonight and 8 people walked in without reservations and asked for a large table to seat 8. The restaurant seats about 65 people and a table for 8 does not exist without reservations. The owner, very kindly informed the people that they could have 2 tables for 4 and they became ENRAGED. One elderly man used the F word to express himself in conversing with the owner. To his credit, the owner requested that the 8 people remove themselves from the restaurant.

America is in big trouble and it is because people think that it is acceptable to be rude and nasty EVEN when THEY make a mistake.

Will we survive?
