I respect it. I'm not looking to be served by an outright asshole, but I'm no fan of servility or unnecessary deference. As long as he gets the job done, he's welcome at the table any time. Hell, join us for the meal, make light conversation about the history of the place. It'd be memorable.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this in another post, but I was in Paris one afternoon and stopped off at one of the Hard Rock Cafes - I like the memorabilia, and rather than buy fridge magnets from my travels, I try and get a Hard Rock Cafe shirt. Anyway...
The waiter comes up, and I'm battling through in basic French, trying to be careful and not be another tourist that made an arse of it, and generally doing my absolute best to not annihilate the beautiful language I was trying to converse in.
I ended one of the sentences with "je suis desole, mon Français est vraiment mauvais", a crude bit of self-awareness and a nod to an understanding that it wasn't perfect.
The waiter says in accented English "yes, your French is a bit shit"
I laughed and appreciated the honesty; he laughed because he got to rip the piss out of a Brit; and we all lived happily ever... except for my bank account, because fuck me drinks in the city centre were pricey.
Anyway, I like staff who are direct and don't fuck about.
Our families thing was finding hard rock cafe t shirts from places that very definitely do not have an actual hard rock cafe. I think my dad's "Hard Rock Cafe Bujumbura"(capital city of Burundi) is the winner.
When I was a little kid I had one from Entenhausen (Duckburg)
Brilliant. I never thought of collecting comedy knock-off stuff like that!
If I had the time and effort, it would probably be quite a good business idea too, particularly if mixed in with geek culture. Hard Rock Cafe Alderaan; Hard Rock Cafe Pallet Town; Hard Rock Cafe D'ni; Hard Rock Cafe Winterfell etc etc.
I would 1000% wear a Hard Rock Alderaan shirt!
...now I'm gonna be editing shit in GIMP when I should be doing something constructive, lol.
Now?

After a bit of research, the font for the city is "The sans caps bold" in lowercase.
I work 3rd shift, so I can't play in GIMP until I get home
Nice. Keep me posted please.
It's been like a month, and I got distracted by something shiny, or a squirrel, or maybe even a shiny squirrel but I did it!

Thanks!
My absolute favorite restaurant experience was like this. At a Hooters back in 20005 and the waitress plopped down in the booth with us and started complaining about working at the place, how she had to work because some other girl called in sick who totally isn't sick and then noted how she cut her hand at work the night before. Quite a difference from the normal manufactured/fake experience you get there. I definitely tipped her well. Would do again.
Not
everything
is a
power move
4 lines for one sentence. What a power move!
Sarcastically commenting on formatting. What a power move!
Using exclamation marks, what a power move!
I wet my pants, what a power move!
Dropping news of hot action in your pants, what a power move!
Oh, a power move, what a power move!
Talking about power moves, what a power move!
Talking about talking about power moves is such a power move.
Talking about talking, what a power move!
Running a joke into the ground; what a power move!
I don't even know anymore what we are talking about, but something tells me, it's a power move!
Uncertainty? I'm pretty sure that's a power move!
Responding on a 8 hour old comment. What a power move!
Interrobang: now that's power
Being a waiter is f***ing exhausting being on your feet all day. I recall sitting down at some tables once in awhile too.
