One of the things that many of us appreciate is having an opportunity to go out to eat. We may save up to go out for one great meal every week or perhaps we may eat out a number of times throughout the week.
Of course, we also realize that there are going to be differences in the experience we have depending upon where we eat. If we go out to a fancy restaurant, we expect to be pampered and cared for at every moment. If we just eat at a local diner, we expect some good food and not much more.
That doesn’t mean, however, that eating at a diner is always going to be without its benefits. Take Tom’s Diner in Denver for example. Not only are they serving good food, they are serving up some great humor as well.
Tom’s Diner is open 24 hours a day and it has been a local favorite for about two decades. Most people who live in the area knew about the restaurant but very few people realized that they had some unusual things on the menu who lived outside of the area.
That is until somebody posted a receipt online. When the people ordered their chicken tenders and mashed potatoes, they were expecting the price but then they also were charged $0.38 for asking a stupid question.
Many of the people who saw the receipt had questions, wondering if it was fake or perhaps if the restaurant was even fake.
Suddenly, more pictures came and of the entire menu and the stupid questions charge is only one of the things that make it a fan favorite.
For example, there is a healthy choices section included on the menu. It has some good options, but then it also gives you the option of skipping your next meal or walking home. It turns out that those are healthy choices as well.Come
When talking to the manager of the diner, Hunter Landry, he said that they were just trying to enjoy the menu and have some fun with it. In his words, it was meant to be playful and I think that most of us could use something like that in our lives today.
So, if you are ever in the area of Denver, stop by Tom’s Diner and see what’s on the menu. Just don’t be surprised if there is something extra on the receipt.
