In the fast food place this evening...

[NBachers]

79. I had the exact opposite experience this evening

I have a friend named Mandy, who likes to try interesting places offered by Groupon. This evening, we drove down from San Francisco to a coastside restaurant - pub called Cameron's in Half Moon Bay. I'd never heard of the place before.

From the moment we walked in the door, a high-school kid named Jason and his kid brother became our best friends. They had no "groupon attitude," and walked us through the restaurant and ordering process, and made us feel welcome and at home. They told us about the history of the place, pointed out interesting features, and engaged us with friendship and excellent service. They seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with us, and we left knowing that we'll be back. I will make Cameron's Inn one of my day trip destinations.

Maybe it's the difference between a corporate slaughterhouse, and a quirky family-owned local pub. Maybe it's just one kid's way versus another kid's way. But you know what? I have the same wishes for a bright future and a life full of joy for both kids.

What have your other experiences been at this Taco Bell, Mineral Man; since you apparently go there enough to have a "usual order?"

What will your experience be next time you go there?

But I know what you mean. I get resentful when I'm treated that way in my business day, too.
