I just got a call from the Club! They're blaming the computer system.
Says when the reboot on Tuesday mornings it sends out things that are
several days old. That's as good an excuse as any, I suppose.

Weak! Maybe they have the wrong year on the computer's calendar and
no one has noticed. Somebody needs a lesson on how to reset the date
and "apply".

Unless they plan on paying me I'll let them figure out their computer
problems on their own. I'm not the only person who noticed this. She
sent out a subsequent email apologizing for the problem and again
blaming the computer.

I can't figure out why there would be unsent emails sitting there for
two days without being noticed. If part of my job was to send out daily
lunch or dinner specials, or in this case a limited menu due to some
golf tournament, I'd sure check to make sure it was sent, wouldn't you?

I wasn't even faintly hinting that you should put even a moment's
worth of effort into it.

Only the people who don't know squat still think they can blame "the
computer" for their personal failings.

They certainly don't sound like a job well done is high on their to-do
list. They sound more & more like the type who sit back and complain
loudly about how the dirt people and immigrants are stealing their
jobs.

Oh, I know that! Given the money they take in they can certainly find
someone to look at her computer if it is indeed somehow at fault. The
person who sends out these emails is the receptionist. She's the one
who takes reservations (if reservations are required) for special dining
events. I seriously doubt she's earning stellar wages. She's a
cheerful, friendly young woman who has been working there as long as
I've been a member of the club.

I don't have any idea what they complain about. I'm sure they're not
thrilled when I and others point out mistakes.

I *do* appreciate they started adding an automatic gratuity to food and
beverage purchases. Apparently the wealthy among us are real skin
flints about tipping.

Heh. That's how the rich stay rich. I won't bother putting the way I
think they think into words.

To say that the snails are sizzling sounds wrong - maybe the BUTTER is sizzling.

They need a dictionary too - it's TARTAR sauce.

And they serve it with garlic bread. The snails are already in garlic
butter. One hopes your dinner companion *really* likes you!

Spell check would probably confound them, too.
