From The Mouth Of Babes, Part 17

I have a table make a reservation at our restaurant for 9:00 pm through a concierge at a hotel. We close at 9:00 pm, so I call the concierge and tell them our last seating is at 8:30.

Me: “Please tell your guests not to expect the kitchen to be open after 9:00 pm.”

Concierge: “I will let them know straight away. Thank you.”

Of course, the table shows up at 8:55 pm.

Me: “You will have to order right now because the kitchen is closing.”

Customer: “How rude! Our reservation is for 9:00 pm!”

Me: “We contacted your hotel concierge to tell them this. If they did not relay the information, then I apologize, but the kitchen is not staying open past 9:00 pm.”

Just then a little kid at the table speaks up.

Little Kid: “Mom! The lady at the hotel did tell us, remember, Mom?”

BUSTED. I just stood there with a huge grin on my face as they gave me their order.
