Fun With Guns: There Goes Your Tip Edition
This story takes place in Texas, of damn course.
There’s a semi-famous steakhouse in San Antonio known as the Little Red Barn Steakhouse. Their employees wear fake guns and holster because … I dunno, it seemed like a good idea at the time, I guess.
During the lunch hour, a table of men got plenty riled up when the waiter screwed up their order. The rest of the event was handled in customary Texas fashion. There are just no words to tell this story properly, so I’ll steal some from the teevee station that covered it.
“The customers mentioned that he messed up their order, so when the waiter went to the side to step back, one of the customers got loose and started beating on the waiter,” the witness said.
She added that the waiter was able to get away and returned with a gun.
“All I saw was a black gun, cocked it back, went up in the air and shot,” the witness recalled.
The scene after that was described as “pandemonium,” instead of the more familiar Texas description of, “damn goat rodeo.” A witness speaks —
“There was old ladies on the floor, one in the back actually crying,” she noted. “It was scary.”
Yes, old ladies crying often scare me, too.
It just doesn’t get any worse than that, does it? Most Texans I know would just get under a table or behind the bar and take their steak with them.
The waiter and the customers left the scene immediately. I kinda suspect they went over to Clyde’s Ice House and Cantina to get some more beer.
But here’s the part that even you people from foreign states will love —
Police say that all of them could face charges, and the waiter could lose his job since the restaurant told KENS 5 that it’s against company policy for employees to carry guns.
The waiter “could” lose his job. He could. He won’t, ya know. This is Texas, Honey.
Thanks to Charles for the heads up.
Trump nearly quintupled the monthly rent his presidential campaign pays for its headquarters at Trump Tower to $169,758 in July, when he was raising funds from donors, compared with March, when he was self-funding his campaign, according to a Huffington Post review of Federal Election Commission filings. The rent jumped even though he was paying fewer staff in July than he did in March.
Michael Burgess, a gynecologist from the Dallas area, took Dick Armey’s seat in congress when Armey retired. Now, you’d think that a gynecologist would have basic biology knowledge and might like women but Burgess is down 2 points on the Sane Person scale.
