The hostess called over the chef…

The chef said:

You think you can get soup?

Go away, you are wasting everyone’s time.

NO SOUP FOR YOU ALITO !!!

NEXT !!!

How is this possibly news?? good grief TPM

Except the click bait headline would lead one to believe that she just flat out refused to seat him rather than the real reason.

I hate this bullshit

This is an amusing little story, but who’s picture is that below the headline?

This is ā€œsomethingā€ ??? He didn’t make a reservation; she did the right thing. The point of reporting this??? Should she have kissed his feet and shoved someone off a table???

I like this woman. How dare he think that because of who he is, that he can just waltz in and get a seat, when everyone else made a reservation.

I guess if she didn’t recognize him she didn’t ā€œrefuse to seat Alito.ā€ Right? How about ā€œSome Guy Denied Brunch Because Place Was Fullā€?

So, he was treated like anyone else who didn’t make a reservation. Cool.

So, a hostess had better sense than the US Senate?

This may be the dumbest news item on TPM ever. ā€œGovernment official not treated like deity, gets equal service to everyone else.ā€

Seriously? That’s somehow noteworthy? Maybe if he pulled one of those ā€œdo you know who i amā€ routines and got seated it would be newsworthy. Otherwise? No.

Who cares? Lately it looks like TPM prints the junk that does not fit into Huffpost.

It seems that there are more and more of these types of stories here than ever before. There is an election in eight days that people care about more than Alito not bulldozing a hostess, or about the President’s credit card being denied at a restaurant.

I’m sort of surprised his wife didn’t start crying.

Oh, please. I hate Alito, but the fact is, he showed up, he asked, they turned him away because they were too crowded and he left. Tell me you haven’t done that.

I wouldn’t cross the street to pee on him if his heart was on fire (assuming I recognized him), but I give him credit for not playing the ā€œdo you know who I am?ā€ card.

And I must also admit that I’m one of those who tend to find even the slightest whiff of ā€˜tude from a maitre-d’ absolutely infuriating, to the point of causing me to put a restaurant on my dead to me list forever. There’s one highly popular restaurant in my town where the guy at the door condescendingly treated me as if I was an idiot for not knowing the place had been rented out for the night for a private party and that’s the last time I went there.

In that case she would have called security and reported a man who didn’t know who he was which would have necessitated call for aid from the nearest Psych facility.
