When to stay home

There are times when a restaurant employee provides the sort of experience you’d only believe if Larry David were on the scene. Witness what happened yesterday to my wife when she stopped at a Moe’s Southwest Grill to grab a quick dinner for us:

Counter employee: “My mother just died so I really don’t have it in me. So, (very sprightly) what’ll you have?”
