Comments on: Tables for One: Key West Diner — bring the President or the Pope! http://newyorkette.com/2006/10/09/tables-for-one-key-west-diner-bring-the-president-or-the-pope/ Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:07:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: NYkette http://newyorkette.com/2006/10/09/tables-for-one-key-west-diner-bring-the-president-or-the-pope/comment-page-1/#comment-817 NYkette Wed, 11 Oct 2006 00:57:04 +0000 http://newyorkette.com/?p=411#comment-817 Dear Spoiled Much (I guess this epithet means you're from the UK -- for some reason UK-ers are always accusing me of being lazy or spoiled! Odd!): When they give you the butter separately from the toast, the toast arrives already cooled down, and the butter arrives cold. So buttering my own toast is useless, as it's all thick, hard, and congealed. I prefer them to butter my toast with the nice soft rancid pot of butter they have in the kitchen, as soon as it pops out of the toaster. That way my toast is nicely soaked in melted butter when it arrives. This is the way I like it. It's not a question of inability or laziness. It's a question of preference. I am not on a diet, or watching my cholesterol, as most places on the UWS seem to assume of everyone. It is laziness on their part not to ask me how I like my toast, since I am paying them to serve me. I'm paying for SERVICE. That's why I leave a tip. Because they cook my food the way I like it. If I want to butter my own toast, I'll make my breakfast at home. :) BTW: Please refrain from using the f-word on my blog. I have resolved to keep it clean-ish. That includes comments.

"So what if the eggs are a different price every day?" really made me laugh - there used to be a bakery around the corner from me where not only was my egg and cheese on a roll + cafe con leche a different price every time, but the woman behind the counter - always the same woman! - pulled out her calculator every time to figure out the total. An amazing surprise ending!
