circus

last night i went to the circus.  the ringling brothers/barnum and bailey circus came to the us cellular coliseum in bloomington.  the circus itself was good.  however, i wasn’t too impressed with the coliseum.  the pre-show for the circus started an hour before the show… the show was supposed to start at 6:30 and therefore, the pre-show should have started at 5:30.  we left early because parking was supposed to be a pain.  we paid 5 dollars for parking and got a spot right away.  so we arrived at the coliseum around 5:05.  it was cold and damp outside.  the would not let us in the building at all.  so we had to stand outside for over a half hour.  i thought that was kind of rude.  especially with all the little kids and there was an older lady in front of us who looked to be about 80.  if that were MY grandma, we would NOT be standing outside.  thankfully, they let her inside to use the facilities.

my next complaint is… a little girl and her mother went outside the circus area, probably to use the restroom.  the girl came back with a white tiger cup with a snowcone in it.  while the girl and her mom were gone, the people put up a net, which required cables to be attached to the floor, RIGHT next to the chairs where the girl and her mother were sitting. the little girl tripped over the cable, spilling her snowcone and hurting herself.  i mean, this girl went FLYING.  you would think they would buy her a new snowcone.  they didnt. they did fill out an accident report, i believe.  while they were filling out an accident report, another lady came down the stairs to talk to the girl’s mom and SHE tripped over the cable. luckily, she didn’t go flying.

i don’t know if i will be going back to the coliseum for a while.

okay… so last night i had a wt table (white trash)… we try to be polite at work when we’re talking about them.

they annoyed me from the very beginning.  first… they sat on the same side of the booth.  that annoys me.  second, he ordered for her.  that annoys me.  third… he was so proud that he ordered “everything” yet he forgot the potato.  he had to ask her what potato and she just chose what he had.  mashed, for those of you wondering.  third, he ordered his porterhouse (a 25+ dollar steak) WELL DONE.  and she had the strip, well done.  well they also ordered an appetizer, which came out fine.  then i stopped by to fill up their waters, saw they were almost done with their appetizer and was about to ask them if they were ready for their salads, when the FINE gentleman says to me “can you bring out my salad, i don’t want to eat it with my steak.”  to which i replied “well, i haven’t even put your order in yet, so that won’t happen, but if you are ready for your salads, i will bring them out.”  so i brought their salads and waited to put in their stupid well done steaks.  i wanted to make sure they had enough precious salad time.  so they finished their salad and 15 minutes later, their steaks came out.  nice and charred.  i asked if they needed anything else and the FINE gentleman replied (picture a hick accent here) “nope we got our A-1 so we’re just FIIIINNNNE!!”  i should add that his steak wasn’t completely bone dry in the middle, so he hesitated when i asked him if it was cooked to his liking… but he said it was eventually.  so i went back later to see if things were still fine and their A-1 bottle was upside down… so i asked if they needed more.  they enthusiastically stated they did.

that is the epitome of a white trash table.  oh and they left me 6 on 53.  which is a LOT more than i was expecting.
