Popped off to see Dances with Smurfs today. Call me a fool with my money, but I was hungry and hit the concession stand.
Guy serving was a model of professionalism. Mouthing off about the customer who'd just left (apparently had shortchanged him a few pence) and then bossing around his colleagues to get some of my order for me - not obviously in jest.
After the film, I made my way to a Frankie and Benny's (Italian/New York food). Not sure if the chain's a UK only thing or not and can't be bothered to check.
Ah, impetuous youth. I'm trying to work out if it's because I'm too old, but it's now apparently considered fine to refer to patrons as 'mate' or 'pal', until it comes to the bill, when someone becomes 'sir'.
Any thoughts on the latter?
