Boating; What are they thinking?
"Take this job and shove it," said Trudy the bartender at the 'Pukin' Pelican. "You don't know how to run a restaurant. Why do you want to own a place and then let it run down? I'm sick of cleaning the mold off the ice machine and the shit off the floor! I won't serve desserts with green stuff growing on them, I quit."
God has blessed me on a few occasions with drama like that but I've never been accused of instigating the drama. "Are you happy," asked Shirley the owner/manager of the Pelican. I raised my palms up and looked confused but she didn't buy my act. "You've been flaming her up for a while!"
"She's been complaining for quite a while but you won't listen. Why not? She wasn't throwing bombs only making suggestions but you and and the others just shrug it off, especially you. Why do you think the (DECYC) club won't eat here anymore," I said. And it had the same effect as always. She just shook her head and walked away.
"Ever think about calling the health department," asked Cracker Bob. No I wouldn't do that. I'm not doing anything to help the county screw another small business owner but just for a moment it was tempting.
"If this place wasn't at the end of our dead end canal I'd never come here. It's a force of habit. The clientele are local 'characters' that are usually in trouble with someone or snowbirds. The staff turnover is like a spinning top and I was very surprised that Trudy lasted as long as she did," I said.
"I don't get it? There may be something we're not seeing but if they don't fix the docks I won't be back," said Bob. "Yankees, Ohio Yankees and everyone is from some island in Lake Erie!"
"The last food I ordered was fried Mozzerela sticks. The Marinara sauce was cold. Trudy took it back to the kitchen and warmed it up but she was so beside herself. I would have overlooked it and chalked it up to another Pelican puke but she was right," I said. The only salvation is; it's cheap.
