Get ready..
Prepare..
It's almost here.
Mother's Day 2009 is going to come in with a bang and go out with a blast.. tables will wait, customers will line up. Moms with oxygen tanks and walkers, wheel chairs and sons with Dockers.. All in line for prime rib and fine wine..
They'll go to the home,
to pick up their moms..
They'll bring her back after dinner..
And pat themselves on the back.
But mom doesn't want prime rib..
She doesn't want soup..
She doesn't want wine..
Guess what she wants? Attention.. and thanks. And praise..
As a server, I will tell you the worst day to be a customer is Mother's Day .. Do mom a favor, see her more than just one day a year. And if you can't, make sure the one day you see her don't spend it in a loud and crowded restaurant..

Great post - very recognizable and you know, you have a valid point there ;-)
I took my mom out to eat, we loved it.
It was Wendys!! For real, it's all she wanted. Instead of some fancy dancy place, we chose fast food and stayed there for about an hour and just loved life.
It's waht MOM wants, not others
Better yet, don't take her to a crowded restaurant with 14 of your family members, without a reservation, than complain that you have to wait. Oh the joys.
A few of those happened to me too.. Lovely, eh?
