SLAP! Of The Week

Welcome Ladies and You Other People to SLAP! Of the Week, the newest segment of First Team Cut. On SLAP! Of the Week, we here at First Team Cut will give a Rick James "What did the five fingers say to the face Charlie Murphy?", handprint-leaving beat down to any patron, server, manager, man, woman, or small child who behaves in a way that deserves such treatment. If you say or do something slap-worthy in a restaurant, oh-please-believe that First Team Cut is watching! "There is a camera there, there, and yes, there too. Let's go to the clips shall we?

The restaurant where I work specializes in Mexican cuisine. This in turn means that some items on the menu have titles that are in Spanish; dishes like the Enchiladas Suizias and the Achiote Chicken Tacos. Granted, some of these titles can be somewhat difficult to pronounce, especially if your days in high school Spanish Uno are a few years in the rearview.  That being duly noted in the minutes, a thunderous Thor-slap goes to the man who looked a server dead in her face and ordered a “sizzling fa-jy-ta”. Ahem, sir…do you mean sizzling FAJITA?  As in the scrumtious dish where you take freshly grilled sizzling chicken or steak, mix it with peppers and onions in a fresh tortilla and top it with sour cream and cheese? Say it with me sir…Fah-Hee-Ta. That’s what you want right? Or did you really want a…uhmm….yeah, well we don’t carry those here sir. A sizzling fa-jy-ta is NOT a dish we serve Sir…it is a personal problem.  If you or someone you love is suffering from acute sizzling fa-jy-ta, call the number on the screen, and seek immediate medical attention to get that looked at.
We know that can't be comfortable.
