My old boss would put the number of reservations on the schedule. If there was one reservation, he would write “1 ppl”… if there were 2 or more reservations, he would write “2 ppls” He is from Thailand. He asked me to finish cooking the beans during a busy dinner rush once: he said “set me up the bean.” ---

The straight dope posters are wasting their time and ours commenting on punctuation and paragraphing and other anal bull shit. Why have people forgotten how to keep their mouth shut when they have nothing relevant to say and just listen quietly. People with anal complaints have low self esteem and are just dopes. But in the case of this thread, whose sole purpose is to waste time, It was 60 seconds well spent. Keep it coming you anal busters. (pun intended) ---
