Mom Violy told me she wanted to order the Paella Negra from Dean & Deluca. Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time. They mistakenly brought out the Paella Valenciana , despite Mom Violy repeating the order three times to the person who took it. It turned out the cook on duty made the error, even though it was written down clearly. We know Paella Negra takes a long time to prepare, which is why Mom Violy had requested it to be cooked beforehand. She wanted it as her main meal, but because of the mix-up and feeling hungry, she took a piece of Carmina’s Turkey Club Sandwich and asked for the bacon on the side. I didn’t expect the turkey to be just one piece, and the bread was toasted so hard that it removed one layer of the sandwich. Since ...
I don't understand why people like to ask something from someone
when they already know the person is coming over to visit you and inform you
last minute what they request you to bring for you.
This is what I hate the most
when they we're informed one month ahead that you will be coming over to visit
them.
Later you are talking to them
and letting them which hotel you will be staying at during your stay and where
you would like to spend time with them. As you have been conversation with them
as you give your agenda for your upcoming trip and give all the details where
you will meet on that certain day.
Everything is all planned up
for your venue you than hear can you do me a favor sometimes you are hesitant
to ask what they favor maybe. You don't want to be greedy because that person
will be showing you around where you have no clue how to go about in their environment
that they live in.
You say, sure what is that
favor you want me. The person tells you they miss the food in the Philippines
and would like you to bring some snacks for them.
The hardest part when you are
not familiar in what they are asking for because too much brain storming in
your head.
My family back home does that
too often ask me to bring stuff for them and I only have one week to look for
what they want.
The worse part when the item is
no longer available and the only thing you can tell your family to just buy it
where they live.
I have also encounter my in-law
asking me to buy something from California and they knew I have been away for
more than a month yet they think buying something out of the blue is easy to
purchase right away.
This all becomes a headache
when you have shipped out boxes ahead of time and thinking you would have space
in your luggage for recent purchase you have already made.
This is why I can understand
why I have relatives who decide not to tell us when they are coming and just
surprise us from their arrival. They too have to deal with family members
asking them to buy them certain stuff that they too have no space for what they
are asking for.
It becomes a pain when someone
doesn't think ahead of time and you get all stress for something that seems
already planned in your head.
