The other night I went out with a friend who brought along two other friends that I’ve never met before. We sat down and ordered drinks first; there was a minor mix-up with the drink order and one of the women who was new to me started in on the waitress. Everything was rectified but this led to a huge complaining fest. First it was about the drink order mess up, then about the service, then about the waitress and since she was on a roll that led to her job, the fact she wasn’t making enough money. I stopped listening and began drinking (more) and playing the gratitude game in my head.
