We got there, and we were the only customers in the place. As we sat down, an adorable 6-year-old girl comes out from the kitchen with a little pad of paper. Her parents ran the place, and they had sent her out to take our order. We thought it was cute as hell. So first, she takes our drink orders. I forget what everyone else ordered, but my buddy Ryan asked for a Mountain Dew. So the little girl says (word for word, I’ll never forget it) “There was a guy in here earlier, and he didn’t finish his Mountain Dew. If you want, I can give you that for a reduced price.” We all looked at each other, dumbfounded, and then at Ryan. A bit confused, he stammers “Uh….no thanks….I’ll pay full price for a new one.” Ok, fine, she says with a note of disappointment, and then she goes back to the kitchen to get our drinks. We just about died laughing at the look on poor Ryan’s face. But she was 6, so whatever. Little did we know….
She comes back a few minutes later to take our meal order, which took like 10 minutes for her to write down….but again, she was 6, so whatever. So she finally brings out our meal order – basically a bunch of burritos, rice, tortilla chips, etc. Standard stuff. It….wasn’t great. The little girl comes back a few minutes later to see how everything is and asks if we wanted anything else. Ryan asks for some guacamole and salsa. She brings out a plate with little bowls of guac and salsa, with broken tortilla chips and dip-marks in them – they had obviously been served to a previous customer and were just taken from another table. With blank faces, we took one long look at it, then at each other, and at this point, about a third of the way through our meal, we collectively realize that everything we are eating is basically just combined leftovers from various previous customers. Fucking disgusting, lol. So we asked for the check and this little girl asks us if we want the leftovers wrapped up to go. Wide-eyed, , we uttered a collective “Uh….no….thanks”. Her little face lit up, and practically skipping she took the leftovers back to the kitchen, undoubtedly to be served again to the next customer. So if you’re ever in Williamsport, PA….uh.…I would recommend that you opt for the Italian restaurant.

No, yes, and almost certainly. At least, he paid full price for a supposedly new Mountain Dew, don't remember if he finished it.

Hey, we just wanted authentic Mexican food, but not that authentic.
In other words, we should have asked for it without the Montezuma’s revenge.

Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
Ha! That’s about it. But the place I went to didn’t even make that much effort. I mean, they could have at least picked the old chips out of the used guacamole and fluffed it up a bit and we might have been fooled.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: What Are you Eating Right Now?
I really dislike the "-finger" suffix for snack foods. They are chicken STRIPS and fish STICKS, not somebody's gross finger. I don't have a replacement for ladyfingers but they can be ladybiscuits or something.

Sounds like Kory's looking to get his hands on some ladybiscuits.

Ladybiscuits sounds like the counter argument that girls don't poop.
