Double trouble by Kitchens of India


Sharing and caring, eh? Double trouble by Kitchens Of India!


On a cool and wintery evening at Odriew Restaurant:

A couple saunter in on a cool winter evening and stand dismayed. The restaurant is packed with guests.   
 Despite this, the management and ITC Kitchens of India decide to target them for a good-humored prank. 

There isn’t a table empty. So they wait.
 
Soon enough, a waiter finds them a place to eat. It is a four-seater. Just then another couple enters and is seated at the same table as the couple. (Oops!)

The couple is bewildered. Optimum utilization of time and space the waiter tells the couple. And would they hurry up? There are others waiting. (Hee-haw!)

 The couple begins eating quickly. (Make that double hee-haw!)

The waiter begs pardon to intrude but might they be so kind as to share the food? There is a shortage of that item, he explains and proceeds to serve the other couple from the same dish. (Blink, blink!)

Bewilderment mounts to consternation at the affront. All this and much else is recorded and uploaded on YouTube. (Tsk, tsk)

But hello, what’s this? Another couple looking over them, impatiently? As if in cue, the waiter comes in with the bill even though the couple hasn’t finished eating!  (Dear, dear!)

The guest demands to meet the manager ASAP! As he rises, the couple sits down! (Gawd, what’s going on here?!)

At length a much harried manager arrives and tells him that it was all in jest and if he would be so kind as to wait a minute or two, they would be escorted to private chambers for a wonderful feast fit for the Gods with best compliments from the management and ITC Kitchens of India?

Thank you!

Have a nice meal!
