A newbie spins a tale so laughable even the DUmmies ridicule him.

"How come there's no Americans working at this restaurant? They are all Latino"
I am sitting in a casual restaurant that bills itself as serving traditional American food. My companion (I have dropped her to borderline friend) asked me, as we were sitting waiting for our food, "How come there's no Americans working at this restaurant? They are all Latino." I was taken aback by this comment given that "Latino" and "American" are not mutually exclusive. I just shrugged to her thinking to myself at least she did not say "Mexican".
I am contemplating if I should bring up this issue to correct her after we finish our meals. I find it disturbing that she would equate Latinos as being non-American.
Doesn't start with "So". No cops. No bushes. Maybe a conversion or clapping and thumbs-up is in the making.

5. You typed all of this out while at the meal with her?
I have to be reading wrong.
Can we live blog your lunch?
A doubter??

7. Yes, the food is boring me. And I am now reluctant to engage in conversation with her.
What a pleasant individual to share a meal with. Playing with his phone and ignoring his companion. And I have a sneaking suspicion he's avoiding his "boring food" because he's afraid of who may have touched it.

13. Might I suggest a brief uncomfortable silence....
followed up by: "Have you ever met a traveler from NC. They are due beer and travel money."

It's killing me.

22. She got upset and left without splitting the bill with me.

37. Agreed. But I may also have a legal claim against her for breach of quasi-contract and to prevent...
...unjust enrichment on her part.

45. Please live blog the trial.
I'm begging you.
Nope no conversions or thumbs-up. So sad. And, of course, it goes without saying that a bunch of the DUmmies ate up this tale, but at least a few called out this BS.
