Great balancing, CB!

Snoopy always eats a well balanced diet

I was thinking of Snoopys’ writings when I woke up a little while ago. It is a dark a stormy night.

You just blew the tip.

“Suppertime! When the living is easy!”

Snoopy sure has a nose to detail. Was his supper dish made in China?

He got his supper at the right time, right on the nose.

What a great balance.

We wish the service industry was unionized.

What is the Waiters’ Union?

What’s Snoopy going to do? Call in a anonymous tip to the waiters union hotline?

I’ve seen dogs that can eat a treat balanced on their nose, but I’m not sure Snoopy can do that with his supper. He might eat the bowl too.

The problem with the waiter’s “union” is that for many businesses, waiting tables is an entry-level position and staffed by people who either aren’t interested in really working or are looking for a better job.

My wife and I rate restaurants on two things food and speed of service (a lot depends on the kitchen, too) and retention of the waitstaff. There are several restaurants in town that have the same waitstaff for years. These also seem to be the ones with the best food and service, so I think there might be a relationship there.

Yes, we do pay attention to “the little people.” Dinner is a lot more fun when you can joke with the people who are around you. Knowing little things like what school they are going to or what they are majoring in is nice. My wife is nurse, God forbid we get a nursing student.

Just don’t short him on the tip or you’ll regret it next time.

What… How can you balance it on a round nose?

waiters have a union?

No tip for him!

The dog really knows!

Nothing like a balanced diet.

You got your food, didn’t you?

Snoopy has some great balance if he can hold that dish on his nose like that.

Now that’s a balancing act!
