Upscale restaurants: Not "stoner-friendly"

Who wants an upscale meal when they are stoned, usually Jack in the Box, Subway or Wendy's does the trick. Hell a trip to Am/Pm usually works.

 

Not that I've ever smoked pot. Well, I did ... once ... but if I were a stoner, it'd be all about the Taco Bell.

 

Oh I forgot about them. Nice work! Taco bell only tastes good when stoned.

Wasn't there a film back in the 90's where all restaurants were Taco Bell?

 

I thought this thread might be about walking out of an up-scale restaurant with a bill for about $1,200 in appetizers.

 

Wings ain't that expensive.

Watch Repo Man stoned. Trippy.

I venture that the problem was more the extended parking (as a waiter, I knew that you made more by turning over the tables than having a twosome take up 2-3 hours of your table) and constant giggling (probably unawares as you were stoned) that was going to tick off the waitress more than anything.

Fine dining after lighting up? Usually burger and fries (and endless chips) did the trick for me.

 

The raw bar tower is damn near irresistible when you're stoned and if someone in your party is caught bobbing for lobsters, well, that's gonna cost you, too.

 

This is all apocryphal, of course. To pretend otherwise would be Jim Frey-ish.

Man, it's bright in here. 8)

 

Taco Bell tastes great when you're sober, too. I've never smoked pot -- or done any drugs; I try not to take medicine, either -- but I've spent summers on chalupa binges. Well worth it every time.

 

Irish's story reminds me of the time some friends and I, baked outta our minds, were asked politely, then not-so-politely, to leave an Olive Garden. Our waiter was Mexican or Spanish or Latino, but above all he was pissed off when one of my friends kept saying, "La Policia, la policia, the chupa cabra are coming!" Final straw was her saying to the waiter, "I heard a rumor than Mexican werewolves are coming up from Mexico and selling crack."

Oh well, to paraphrase a former co-worker, "I ain't wasting a $10 high on a $20 meal."

 

Taco Bell has the worst tortillas in the history of tortillas.

And ethnically-based taunting of people who have control over your food is unwise, besides being just mean.
