The Bird Show. I am a Southern girl born and raised in Tennessee, been living in Georgia for about 13 years, so I do believe in pitching a fit. Now, we've talked about this before, Jen Hobby and I've talked about this before where, you know, there are sometimes where it's appropriate to pitch a fit, okay, if you're not getting what you want. But then maybe if you pitch too much of a fit, then afterwards you have a little bit of remorse about it. And so Katie and I are calling this bitch regret where you, where you bitched about something. And then in hindsight, you're like, well, maybe I overreacted just a little bit. So what happened. And it's really Katie that coined the phrase because she's the one actually going through this right now. And Katie Joe is Melissa's girlfriend. That's right. So we, and I'm not going to name the restaurants involved, but it does involve restaurants where, you know, I've never been one that went out to restaurants and, you know, I've just never been a restaurant person. That's not what I would spend my time and money doing. But there are plenty of people and people in this room who do enjoy going out to restaurants and trying new restaurants. And Katie Joe is one of them. So we went to a restaurant, I guess it's been a couple weeks ago. We went to a restaurant and we walked in. And it was one that we hadn't been to before. We just were going to, you know, try it out. And it was during the week. So it was a week night. It was early evening. Oh, no.

So when we walked in, there was, it wasn't crowded or anything, but we walked in and there wasn't a clear space where to go and be seated at the table. Okay. So we. Not a clear hostess stand. Yeah. Not a clear host of stand whatsoever. So we walked in and for a second, we looked around trying to figure out if there was a hose to sand. Then we thought, well, if there's not one, does that mean we can sit ourselves?

So we weren't sure. So we walked in, why are you doing? Did I recommend this restaurant to you? Yes. So we walked in. Oh my God. Did you set up this dinner for her? No, but they are all such huge listeners. Well, let me finish the story. finished the story. That. That's why she's not going to say. That's what I'm not saying the restaurant. So we walked in and like I said, we couldn't find the hostess stand. So there was a guy that was kind of leaning over this table like, you know, along the wall. So we assumed he worked there because it looked like he had kind of an apron on from the back. So we kind of walked over to him because literally we stood there maybe 30 seconds and nobody, there's a bartender near the door. This guy was over here. Nobody was giving us any direction. So we really started thinking maybe we should seat ourselves. But just to check, double check, we went up to the guy and kind of tapped him on the shoulder and Katie said, you know, do we seat

ourselves or do we wait? And he turned around and I was witness to this with quite an attitude

and said, can you hold on just a second? And so, and Katie is just not tolerate that. And neither do

I mean, it's just like, well, you just kind of sniff, you felt like he was got a little snippy.

That was our greeting to the restaurant. And so yeah should have left katy's like that's okay we did kate kate's like that's okay okay thanks so much and so we walked out and katy leaned over to the bartender said just want to let you know he lost you a sale and we walked out the door simple as that so we walk across and it was an area run that that by me one more time. So the bartender leaned over to...

No, no, no. The guy was rude to us. So Katie, as she walked out, wanted somebody to know that he lost a sale. So she leaned over to the bartender and said, he just lost you a sale. Okay.

So we walked out, and this was an area where there were other restaurants in the vicinity,

so we just simply walked.

We were then walking distance to another restaurant, so fine.

We walked into another restaurant.

And as soon as we walked into that restaurant, there was a clear greeting stand. There was a clear employee that said, welcome to Blank. And thank you so much for coming in. How many in your party? So we walk up. And at that moment, this woman comes up to me. So I'm thinking, oh, you know, because the way she came up to me very deliberately I assumed and it was just to me I thought well she must be a listener or something

so I turn around hey hey doing and she said I just want to let you know that she was the manager

at the other restaurant and had chased us down to this restaurant and said I just want to let you know

my name is blank and I'm a manager of blank and I understand that you had a bad experience and I just want to let you know, my name is Blank, and I'm a manager of Blank, and I understand that you had a bad experience, and I just want to invite you over because I want to take care of your dinner. Wow. And came into another restaurant to do that? Came into the other restaurant. And so... Wow. Yeah, she crossed over the border. That's impressive. That's very, I've never had that happen before. That's really impressive. That's like China-Tibet business right there.

But I will say that this has nothing to do with my job.

It was just I was closer to the door.

It's why she came to me because Katie was at the hostess stand.

So she came up to me because I was the first person from that party.

From that party that was in her line of apology. And so Katie turned to her and said, that's very sweet. I appreciate that. But they have already greeted us and they've already offered us a table and we're going to stay here. And then, you know, and she said, well, that sounds good. I understand that. Y'all enjoy your dinner. And please, any time that you want to come back in, my name is blank. And I would love to have you back. So we, we do plan on going back. We have not been back since. And we will only go back when this manager, this woman is going to be there. But, and everything was fine. So we had dinner, had a nice dinner. Everything's fine. It was later on that evening, way late into the evening before bed, that Katie said, you know what? Maybe I was a little

harsh. Oh, no. And she said, and I, now I disagree, though. I do think that our, the service was bad and then we walked up, but I do think the manager's actions, which I very much appreciate, you know, kind of made her think twice about it. And then she's one that she said,
