Man,
I wish i was cool enough to get good service at The Grit.
What am i doing wrong?
Should i start a band? Should i stop taking showers? Should i start looking at people through my nose?
I really enjoy the golden bowl.
What can i do to make you realize i deserve one without being treated like a subhuman?
I see you treat other people with respect, manners, and general hospitality....
what am i doing wrong?
I even tip when i am treated with such disdain.
Please, let me get on your good side...
i swear i am cooler than i look.
i swear it.
Maybe someday i can sit at the counter with all the cool people that work there and talk smack about all the other customers that come in... someday maybe... i can only hope.....
i can only hope...

Grit service protocol #ATH082809 (classified)

1) In preparation to eat at the Grit, do not wear anything that looks expensive. If service is needed relatively quickly, dress down. Boys, if wearing a nice shirt, untuck it unless your wearing one helluva belt buckle. Girls, be prepared to cut back on make-up or carry an emergency pair of horn-rimmed glasses as a distraction. Ironic T-shirts are becoming too common, avoid if possible unless it's skin tight or really ratty.

UNIVERSAL LIFE LESSON: Avoid tight shirts if you are obese (that's true for any situation).

2) Look like you are really bored and couldn't give a shit about eating there. The less emotion on your face, the better. This actually works great at a variety of spots as it makes you look really cool.

3) In reference to #1, don't appear rude, just really apathatic. An occasional smile and subdued greeting will show the server that you are willing to focus just enough to recognize him/her. Be forewarned, you may be suprised by a mutual subdued greeting (simlar to underground gang sign) as a sign of respect. Don't break character with a suprised look or you risk "poser" label.

4) Carry one of these three items with you and leave it on the table for the server to see: a) local hand-made accessory, b) some non-pop literature (be sure you know what it's about or risk scorn), or c) local music CD. You may end up having a conversation about the genre of said item so be prepared to talk but not get too excited!

5) Most of all, DON'T....SHOW...EMOTION. Think Vulcan. If you have to ask what a Vulcan is, do not eat at the Grit.

Actually, I think what happened to me is that I gave up and stopped expecting good service so now I'm never disappointed. It only took 10 years to discover that.
