Funny that the original question was asked. I was in Phoenix this morning getting ready to play some golf with a relative that was passing through the state. There was a frost delay (YES! In Phoenix, AZ) and we had to kill some time. So, my uncle and I decide to go to a Denny's and grab a bite while we waited for the frost to burn off. I, in my usual garb, was wearing a Dallas Cowboys cap. Our Hostess seated us and said our waitress would be right with us.
About three minutes later this snotty little ***** walks up and says "Hi, My name is April, I'll be taking your order" and without missing a beat she says "Cowboys' fan, huh?". I politely respond "Yes, but I'm a little depressed this week , so I'd prefer not to talk about it", with a hint of joking. This girl has the balls to say "You should be. The Cowboys suck! I was so glad they lost." I didn't waste any time and replied, "Good, get me a new waitress". She chuckled and said, "What can I get you guys to drink?" I told her I wasn't kidding and to get me a new waitress. She was stunned. My Uncle (knowing how hard-core I am about the Cowboys) chuckled and said "He's really not kidding, we're going to need someone else".
About two minutes later an older waitress (maybe early fifties) walks up and says "Hello gentleman, I apologize, what can I get you to drink?". I said "Coffee, and there's no need to apologize, sweetheart, you just cashed in." She laughed and took our order and breakfast went as usual. I got up from my meal and paid at the counter with my debit card and as we were getting ready to walk out the two waitresses were standing at the wait station and I walked over to them, smiled at the "good" waitress, handed her a $20.00 bill (which was ridiculous because our meals were less than that total) and said "Thank you so much you were awesome." I then smiled, looked at the Denny's idiot and said, "You should really learn how to keep your ******* mouth shut, stupid." Childish, I know, but I've never walked out of a Denny's with a better feeling in my life!
So there's my "Cowboys' flack story of the year".
