A Prize - perfect for regifting

 

Maybe it was our fault.  We had gone there with very low expectations.  We’d been to this restaurant years ago and it was bad back then, so why should we think they had improved?  Here’s the thing… we won a gift card to this place during a contest. 

And I'm not talking about the food, although it would have had to come up several notches to achieve mediocre.  No, I’m referring to the continuous bombardment of hideous music.  Truly, it was a seemingly endless collection of the worst noise ever pumped through a cheap sound system there ever has been.

The record producers must be the same people who make those little gadgets that send out sound waves to repel rodents.  Those were actually my thoughts as I sat there poking at my food with a fork, this is awful, they must be trying to chase me away. 

If they had been brave enough to have suggestion cards at the table, I believe I may have said, know your audience.  99% of their customers were in their 70’s or more.  Hardly the folks who enjoy heavy metal or off-key rap.  But hey – what do I know?

Side note:
        There is a reason the place is empty during the lunch rush.

The same thing happened to me when I got a haircut on Monday. The music was atrocious! It was also heavy metal or off-key rap. I looked around and the majority of the clientele had gray or very little hair!! However, all the beauticians were enjoying the music. I did not want to say anything - she was cutting MY hair!
