Dear people who have nothing nice to say....

Let me start off with this.

My mom always says, "Be like Thumber off of Bambi and say to yourself, "If you can't say something nice then don't say nothing at all." Then you'll always have something nice to say!"

Yesterday at the lovely Village Inn, my work. I was cleaning so much because we have GSV coming up.
If you work at a restaurant you would know what this is. BUT, for those who don't, its when our regional manager comes in and thoroughly checks EVERYTHING and makes sure it's clean and kept up.

SO, as I was cleaning my manager was in his office so he had one of the servers he loves SOOO dearly manage up front. Her name is Sam.

So, Sam was on the computer up front while I scrubbed and scrubbed the kick boards under the cash stand.

Well, it just so happened that while I was scrubbing these kick board thingers someone walked in. I know when someone walks in because I can hear the door open. So, I get ready to stand up. Then I see Sam look back and move like she was going to help them but, she didn't. So, I jumped up quickly so the guest wouldn't have to wait and walked over to the two men waiting for someone to seat them.

One man is younger maybe late 20's and the other older probably late 60's to mid 70's. Both looked kind. I know this may not sound relevant to you about the story but, it is. I promise.

I smile my smile even though I wasn't happy and say, "I'm SO sorry you had to wait. I was cleaning the floor and I didn't see you guys." Both men smile back. The younger one more sour.

You might want to brace yourself as to what happens next.

The younger one blurts out loud, and I mean LOUD, "NO WONDER WE COULDN'T SEE THE HOST, SHE'S VERTICALLY CHALLENGED!" He said that in a rude voice.

I was hurt. His Dad, uncle, grandpa, friend whatever he was looks at him all surprised and I just give him a shocked look. I mean yeah it's true i'm short but was that necessary? I hear the ocassional "Munchkin, Frodo, Midget, Oopaloompa, Smurf, Gnome...etc. BUT that comment just hurt! ]':

Thumbs up if you think it was mean.
