The husband and I went to our favorite restaurant for dinner the other night, it's what we love to do. Red Robin never lets us down. Not long after we sat at our table, a cute waitress comes over and this is how the conversation went:
Waitress: "How are we doing this evening?"
The husband: We're good.
Waitress: "Would we like start off with something to drink?"
The husband: Tells her what we want to drink, then says we are also ready to order our dinner.
While the waitress is gone, I noticed an add for their Mint Brownie Shake sitting on the table. I mentioned to the husband, since he likes chocolate and mint, that looks like something he would enjoy. He did agree. As for me, I'm not a fan of mint mixed with chocolate. I like my chocolate just, chocolate.
The waitress comes back with our drinks and the husbands says, trying to speak her language, "We would like one of these please." Referring to himself of course.
The waitress smiled and asked, "Do we want it now or with our meal."
The husband said, now please.
After she left, I told the husband watch her bring out two. He said no way, he was just talking the way she was talking. Yeah, that maybe true, but she's still going to bring out two.
For starters, I would never order anything with chocolate mixed with mint, nor would I order a shake before my meal, especially if I'm going to enjoy my meal. Also, I would never order a shake after my meal because I would be too full.
Well, can you guess what happened next? The waitress brings out two mint brownie shakes topped with whipped cream. She gives one to the husband and me the other. I gave the husband the look and said, see what did I tell ya.
He replied in a baffled tone, "I guess I just don't know how to talk girl."
No, no you don't.
What about the shake? Oh, well there it sat with those little brownie chucks staring me in the face. What was I to do but try it. It was amazingly good. The mint was not overwhelming and the chocolate speaks for its self. I had no trouble at all sucking every last bit out of the straw and had an even a better time eating the brownie chunks. Come to think of it, I didn't have any problem eating my dinner either.
The best part was when the waitress gave us the bill, she didn't charge for the shakes.
To say the least, we were very happy customers indeed!

My coworker is German, and apparently, Germany does not have mint and chocolate. She thinks it's gross. I love it!
WOW! How awesome that you got free shakes, but what a weird way for the waitress to talk!
So Funny! We (that's me... and, umm... me) think this is a really funny post! (And WE also wouldn't have ordered it - not being a big fan of the mint & chocolate combo - but would have probably had NO TROUBLE sucking it down, either!) SO glad the night was a happy one!! ; )
Hey, when can we join you for dinner so we can get in on the "free" mint & brownie shakes too? I happen to LOVE that combo!
We also love Red Robin. I haven't been there for awhile and I've never tried their shakes. Looks like I'll have to go soon!
I am a lover of Mint Chocolate anything. I think I might sneak down there soon...
From MMB, BTW:)
Now that works for me--choc mint and no bill.
You had to write that when I am so cruelly far away from Red Robin. **gnash
wow what a funny story WE had. The husband is a funny guy. Congrats on enjoying something you didn't think you would, and then getting it for free!!
I have a book about an indian tribe who never used "I" or "you", always "WE" in order to be united and not place blame or point fingers. It's quite a concept actually. Maybe she was from that tribe. :) But didn't the husband say "We want ONE of these". ??
That drives me crazy. At work someone will come through my line and ask, "How are we today?" I look and measure the group and say something along the lines of, "You look like your doing well." They them give me this weird look but blow it off quickly as if I didnt hear them correctly and continue with their transaction. I did not give them free shakes... or dog food for that matter.
"I guess I just don't know how to talk to a girl."
LOL, that was awesome.
And now, I want a shake.
I always refer to myself in plural. It is weird. Why do I do that?
This is FUNNY cos my husband and I went out to dinner the other night - he got a bunch of vouchers on account of him getting top marks for a work exam, otherwise we wouldn't have gone there - we had never been to this place before and it just seemed a little unusual - I guess it had it's on "speak" like the girl that served you - BUT for a WHOLE restaurant. Anyway WE - as in the TWO of us - ordered soup for starters- Moroccan Pumpkin soup to be exact. TWO people - the girl who was "looking after us" for the night and the guy that was actually serving us, informed us that "did we know that this was a "half" soup - and was that ok?" We said yes, not knowing WHAT exactly that meant and neither of them bothering to tell us. Well finally the guy brings out a large bowl - which was actually a small bowl with about a 2 and a half inch brim right around and set it down in front of us - with the appropriate cutlery. And then we waited, making small talk and chatting and joking. We waited for the SECOND bowl of soup so that we BOTH could have one. It never came. I guess that's what a "half" soup means...? Felt really stupid and "cheap". After we finished the soup I commented to my hubby "Thank goodness we ordered seperate MAINS!!"
Thanks for the comment on my blog - in NZ we have a pretty new icecream flavour that Tip Top (famous NZ icecream company) is currently running as a small selection of "fancy" flavours (hope they keep it and it's not a limited run) that I bet your husband would LOVE - it's called Mint Cookie Smash and it is pretty much like Cookies'n'Cream but with Mint flavoured icecream and big huge chunks of chocolate cookies all through it - we (our fam) all LOVE it - YUM!!
