He. He. We were staying at the Crater Lake lodge several years ago. Every year, they hired college kids to staff the operation, which is only going in the summer while the snow’s not a problem. So, we had a reservation at the restaurant in the lodge. We went in ordered, then we waited. And waited. And waited. And… waited. Eventually our waiter came out and told us that the chef and the person in charge of the wait-staff were both AWOL. There was no other place to eat (there’s a burger-bar kind of place but it closes at dark).
And waited. I’ve worked in a kitchen, so I thought… seriously… about going in to see if I could make it happen, but Spouse convinced me not to. It’s true that I wasn’t currently carrying a health card…
And waited.
And eventually someone had a brainstorm and gave us our salads and some cold bread.
And waited.
And someone got served!
And waited.
Eventually, we did get a meal. It wasn’t the worst meal I’ve paid for, but it was undoubtedly the worst value I ever got for an expensive meal.
