Haha..
Aight, so this happened to me recently. Kind of embarassing because it was the only time that I actually was stopped...LOL..
So I'm at The Cheesecake Factory in SF, inside The Macy's building...so basically, its always packed...and you have to get the little pager thing and wait for a few hours.
So three hours passed...they finally call us in, we get seated...everything is cool. They brought me the biggest ceasar salad I've ever seen in my 23 years of living, shit was like industrial sized. Food was cool...after we were done...the waiter brings over a receipt...a receipt you get after you pay for something...
So immediately I'm like...what the feezable..? Aren't they supposed to bring you the little black book, then you give 'em the card or bread and they bring it back...
So after he drops the receipt off...he's gone for a good 10 minutes.
I'm like...what the hell is going on...
So I decide to walk up to the counter, which is very close to the elevator to go back downstairs, and also, one of the only two ways to get out of this place.
I'm thinking...this muthafucka must not want his money, he's nowhere to be found....
So I'm standing there in front of the counter, that I know for a fact doesn't take payments for meals...and say to myself...
' If that elevator opens, and this guy doesn't show up...I'm getting the fuck outta dodge. '
So the elevator opens up, guy is nowhere to be found, and about 20 people hop onto the elevator...I hop on last...
The door gets about 3/4ths of the way shut, when I see the waiter...
I'm thinking...oh shit...
He sticks his hand in the elevator door to stop it...at that point, I'm hoping that the elevator doesn't have the sensor that they all do, and it dismembers his arm...
It doesn't...and he goes...
' I think you forgot...'
He didn't say...'to pay'...so that kind of saved me some of the embarassment...LOL..
He was pretty cool about it...I just told him it was my first time there and that I didn't know the process...
Lesson to be learned:
If you're going to pull a runner at The Cheesecake Factory...make sure you take the escelator, down to the 6th floor...then take the elevators down from there...LOL
