I'll Have What She's Having


Noticed at the restaurant: 'Monkey-See-Monkey-Want'.

There is no better way to sell an item, be it animal, vegetable, or mineral, than to flaunt it in the moments before a customer is to make up his or her mind. I have seen it over and over again since I started waitressing: the latte days, the tea days, the french fry days, the dessert days. The customer all-of-a-sudden craves one of those dishes/beverages that were paraded past their nose a moment earlier, and I'm convinced they often have no idea they were so easily seduced.

A picture is truly worth thousands of my lame attempts to promote something. BTW, today, was, indeed, another fries day.

Oh god, I think I have to go turn on the deep fryer now...
