Amazing, absolutely amazing, how you perfectly captured the attitude – or rather stupidity – of the general public towards those in the service industry.

The gratitude of those working in the industry is captured, also, to those who are kind, and our surprise that they exist.

Bravo.

I had the best Valentines day ever !! my fiance made dinner complete with candle light rose petals on the table & champagne & chocolate covered strawberries for desert. I too waitressed for years on Valentines day & I would put up with all the sinners all over again just to know he’s waiting at the end of the rainbow !!!

Lord Luv ‘em but the cranky people are making there own lives miserable, by pitching fits, instead of accepting what they are offered, as a result of their own stupidity, it’s a yuppie tragedy in the making. (You do understand what a yuppie tragedy is, right? It’s some, usually a clueless yuppie that wants you to sympathize with them, when the bad things in their life happen because of their own failure. Like they were running after a taxi and broke the heel on the $687, Manolo Blahnik italian shoes, or their new mercedes, arrived and it wasn;t the color that they Specially Ordered, because they left it too late. You get the picture.

Life is so much easier focusing on my daughter’s birthday on V Day. It also means I can happily be romantic for the rest of the year too

we were one of the not-celebrating couples. I went to extra classes in the afternoon (my boyfriend was there but it was so not romantic! hehe) and then to a literature event, because a magazine he helped to put toghether is finally ready…then i went to dinner (pizza- without a reservation pizza) WITH MY PARENTS.
im so not one of the cool kids!!! hehehe

We were one of the stay-home couples. I make a killer pizza that really is wonderful. Last night the crust was just the way we like it -thin as paper with a crunchy crackle when you bite into it. Add to that a great bottle of wine, a decent movie, and chocolate lava cakes for dessert, who needs reservations? We’ll go out for a special meal another time when the crowds are gone and there is no stress.

Pretty perfect.

We were one of those many couples without a dinner reservation. My husband’s work schedule is pretty unpredictable, and I’m sick, so we played it by ear. It worked out well for us this year — he got home on the early train and we got to the restaurant before they were hit heavily with couples and reservations.

Luckily, they know us there, too, which helped. It also wasn’t a high-end place — we know better than to even try. When we left, there wasn’t a crowd by the door waiting for their tables, either, so we didn’t mess up anyone else’s dinner, either. (I also made sure there were a couple of open tables nearby.)
