My Favorite Cafeteria Chronicles

This place is a continual source of humor for me. Reason being, if you try to deviate in the slightest from the 'norm' in terms of ordering, requests,etc...it generally sends the whole place into a tailspin. I therefore decided to create a post category dedicated to my K&S experiences. Here are some from the archives: The sign says they close at 8:30pm. However, if you arrive after 8pm, don't expect to get served for carry-out, well at least not at the carry-out counter (more on that later). I walked into this unaware one Sunday night and was told "Well....well you have to just go down the line and tell us what you want." (To myself: WHAT?) When I passed part of the staff stacked up in the doorway with their purse under their arm at 7:45, that should have been a clue huh? Once when I ate in, the cashier beat on the bell with a STAPLER like she was trying to kill a roach. This was to tell the attendant to take a tray out to an elderly person. Why the bell was not within arms' length, I do not know. Ordering a vegetable plate is like the space shuttle countdown. Now apparently you get 4 sides, but they don't tell you this. So you tell them what you want, and apparently there is a silent countdown going on in the server's head simlutaneously that you are not aware of. So it goes something like: "I want corn (server 4), green beans (server 3), peas (server - 2), and mashed potatos (server 1 and liftoff) to wit they immediately launch your plate down the metal shelf like a game of culinary shuffleboard. No "is that all" no "would you like something else?" just 4,3,2,1...NEXT! If they are out of something, they are out. Do not ask if more is coming out unless you want to be dogged out to the chef by the server, and loudly. This is proceeded by an attitude fueled stop to the metal swinging doors to the kitchen, followed by hand on hip "You gon' have anymore turkey and dressing? I TOOOOLD her we ain't got no more she shoulda got here at 12."
