And, Sir, How Would You Prefer To Eat?

And, Sir, How Would You Prefer To Eat?

-          ITC Kitchens of India

A cool summer day in Odriew Restaurant:

A gentleman saunters into the restaurant on a cool summer afternoon here in the city of Iannech. He has been identified for a prank by the management and ITC Kitchens Of India.

After making himself comfortable, the man beckons to the waiter to take the order. The waiter arrives and takes the order of Naan and Paneer Makhani.

 As an afterthought, the waiter courteously asks the guest what he is most uncomfortable using, the fork, spoon or the chopstick. Upon the man saying it has to be the last of the three, the waiter thanks him and departs.

Soon enough, an aromatic spread is laid on the table. But hullo… what’s this? Chopsticks? 

The much bewildered man tells the waiter there must be a mistake. He said he was uncomfortable with chopsticks to which the waiter mutters something like… did he hear right…management policy? (Huh?)

Bewilderment mounts to consternation as the gent realizes that the ‘policy’ was being ‘practiced’ only on him, and not the other guests.  And besides, he bellows, how in the world am I supposed to eat Naan with chopsticks? (Tsk, tsk!)

The gent voices his increasing unhappiness in no uncertain terms and desires to speak with the manager ASAP, all of which is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Dear, dear!)

Shortly thereafter, the manager arrives and placates the good gent, telling him of the joke played on him by the management and ITC Kitchens of India.

 After ensuring that the gent is suitably mollified, he is given a sumptuous spread fit for the Gods and a hamper with best compliments from ITC Kitchens of India.
