Gizmo Loves The Chair (and my rant about my poor food service)

Gizmo in the chair

Gizmo absolutely loves going in the chair when we study. Whether it’s next to me or next to tricia, he’s got to be sitting next to us. Gadget’s a licker. That’s exactly what he’s doing in this picture, though you can’t really tell.

The pugs are pretty closely shaven, though you can’t exactly tell. The thing that gives it away is that you can see his “wrinkles” on his body (he and i disagree that they are fat rolls). Pugs can just be wrinkled all over their body, you just never see the other wrinkles because they are covered by hair.

Oh, and I have one complaint for today. I think that food service businesses should pay much closer attention to their customer service and quality of product, especially the smaller ones. I had a wrap today at lunch, and the woman who made it threw everything together and wrapped it up so shoddily that i had to eat it with a fork after it fell apart. Then, at dinner, the sausage w/ my red beans wasn’t hot.

The cafeteria at work had some similar problems. I contend that these problems are enough to cause significant financial harm. For example, I will probably never get a wrap from this place again. Say i’d eat there 2 times a week for the next 3 school years (9 months * 4 weeks * 3 years * 2 times per week) That’s 216 wraps at about 6 bucks each is about 1300 dollars i probably would have spent with them that i won’t. just because i now think that the wraps i get there will be put together poorly. just because that one person gave me bad service.

i dont know, i think part of the problem is that the person who served me has no incentive to do a good job. is she a stakeholder in the company? no. was there even a manager there? i dont think so. there’s literally no accountability for performance or “intangible incentive” to do a good job.

she’s not going to get a bonus if i go back day after day. she’s not going to be penalized if she doesn’t do her job. the only thing that lets her do a good job is internal respect for oneself in doing a good job, which i think is extremely hard to find in that industry. — waiting tables at a fancy restaurant, or even a not so fancy restaurant, you have people who are going to care about what they do. at the wrap place in the food court of a university? maybe not

gadget says he doesnt care if his wrap is made messily, he just wants one.
