So Wednesday was my wife's birthday. Since it fell in the week I told her we could do whatever she wanted yesterday until we had to leave for dinner.
I told her I made reservations for the 2 of us at a restaurant she likes. I had actually made reservations for 16 people, all of our friends.
Victoria's Secret
So we go out to Victoria's Secret as she had a coupon, and had gotten some cash. They were having a 7 panties for $25 sale, and she needed some other stuff.
I decide to go to the VS closet to our house (a good 15 miles away) because I don't feel like driving further. I hate this particular mall, as every time we go something stupid happens.
Yesterday was no exception.
We picked everything out and get in line. Well the line has no real structure to it, but thankfully a manager came up and straightened that out.
Then we had to wait as not 1 but 3 people didn't read the signs and had picked out 5 panties instead of 7, so they had to go back and find 2 more, grumbling the entire time, yeah because it's VS's fault you can't read.
We pay, and realize that we hadn't got a discount ($15 a bra if you buy 2), so we got to get back in line and wait again as people were complaining that they were only going to get $15 back on a bra because they didn't have the receipt, or getting huffy because the lotion they picked up was the sampler and therefore had no SKU, etc.
Incidentally, while I have no problem with big people being of somewhat advanced stature myself, if your ass looks like you're smuggling 2 20 lb turkeys, how are you fitting into VS panties?
The Restaurant
The reservation was at 6:30, but we weren't arriving until 7 that way all of our friends could get there. I made specific instructions with the owner of the restaurant for this and some other things to make things go smoothly. I even called on Friday to confirm everything.
Right after my wife and I leave I get a text from her sister "You need to stall they fucked the tables up"
So I don't know what's going on, but I stall as long as I can.
I get there and the manager and the hostess are sitting and talking.
"So apparently we had 2 reservations for 16 people tonight, on under Mu**** and the other under Mi****. And the one only had 10 people show up, and the other had this guy Matt call and make reservations but I haven't seen him yet"
At this point they turn around and I say "Hi, I'm Matt"
So they take us to our table while my wife is asking me "What did you do?"
She was surprised, but they kind of ruined it for me. I had wanted her to turn the corner and see everyone.
After talking to everyone, it turns out that they had given our table to the Mi group, and were trying to seat some of our friends with them. The waitstaff had no ideas of the arrangements we made either.
It all turned out in the long run, and thankfully my friends spoke up and got it fixed, but damn talk about giving a guy heart failure. All I could think about was that they had lost our reservation and were now trying to scrap tables together.
