The general manager at Society Restaurant and Lounge can't find our reservation.
"What's your last name again? Oh, right. You're late," he scolds, glancing askance at his watch. "The reservation is for 6, and it's now 6:26."
Actually, we're four minutes early. I'm sure the reservation is for 6:30 because I made it myself, under a pseudonym, only a few hours ago. I remember the phone conversation clearly because I never eat at this uncivilized hour.
Of course, I could be wrong. So could the manager, a possibility he is not at all willing to concede. In fact, he seems barely willing to acknowledge us.
After being completely ignored for the next 10 minutes, the hostess asks if we would like to sit on the sidewalk patio.
Absolutely not. It's snowing out there. When she asks again a few minutes later, promising to move us indoors as soon as a table comes available, we grudgingly follow her out into the frosty air.
What has the Glowbal Group come to?
