You want me to what?!?

[mosspack1]

This was relayed to me by a family member (FM)

FM works as a waitress at a small family restaurant. Being a small restaurant everything is cooked to order. FM brought a SC his dinner fresh off the grill.

SC: My dinner is too hot.

FM: It's hot because it just came off the grill.

SC: I can not eat this!

FM: It will cool off in a couple of minutes.

SC: It's too hot!

FM: Sir what to you want me to do?

SC: Blow on it so I can eat.

FM: Um, no. (walks away)

[strawbabies]

Does he want her to cut his meat into little pieces too, like his mommy would?

SC: Blow on it so I can eat.

What are they, 5 years old? Besides blowing on it won't really make it colder. Not that much colder at least.


Although I admit that I don't like my food hot either. Back home there was one restaurant that... when they weren't busy my food was always piping hot.

but i never complained. I mean... well technically it IS their fault that the service was fast and they brought me my food before it went cold. but that's a dumb thing to complain about.

I read a story once (I think it was on this site before the discussion forum format) where a family goes to a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, orders their food, happily eats it, and then the dad wants the entire meal comp'd because, get this, there was "too much food".

Oh, 9...

(I remembered liking Dr. Who from 9...because he told the annoying blonde girl to SHUT UP. No one ever does that in shows or movies it seems)

No, no.. a five year old is quite capable of blowing on their own food, thank you very much. It's the one to two year olds you have to do that for As well as change their diapers, which I sure as heck hope this guy wasn't wanting. If he wants that kind of full service, he needs to go to Craigslist.

I'll gladly wait the couple of minutes it takes for my piping hot food to cool so I can eat it's deliciousness. Or if I can't wait, I'll blow on it myself, like the big girl I am, or risk burning my mouth Some things are just soooo much better close to piping hot! Like french fries and other fried foods!

[PepperElf]

yeah, fries are better hot.

but for other things i like my food lukewarm really. I know ... i'm weird.

Then you sit there and chat and watch me eat while waiting for your food to cool off. Then it's my turn to chat.

Sounds like a scam to me. "He spat on my food! I want a free meal NOOOOOOWWW!"

My first thought wasn't scam (yeah, I know, way too trusting)... my first thought was along the lines of ew, who'd want someone they don't know blowing on their food? Who knows what the waitress could be sick with? I have had to work with a cold all the time, may not be contagious from handling normal transactions, but blowing directly on food definitely would do it.

[The_Cook]

Where I cook, I always ensure my food is up to the standard of, "If I won't eat it myself, I won't serve it." I can attest to everyone I repeat that mantra to is glad my food is beyond their expectations and they know it will be hot. Besides all that, it would be a violation of health code to blow on their food anyway. Perhaps he can blow on it and what little brains he's got left will make it onto the plate to cool it off.

I was on a cruise once and they cut my steak for me at the table. I was capable of doing it myself, but it was nice.

Blowing on my food, no. I can do that myself. Or I can wait a minute for it to cool.
