Wanna work in a barbecue joint ?


 
At first I thought maybe the joint was named after this old joke:

A man is driving down a deserted country road when he has a blowout. Not having a spare he finally finds a house and asks the lady if he can use her phone to call for a tow-truck. As she opens the door for him to come in, a Three Legged Pig runs out.
He asks "why does that Pig only have three legs?"
She says that they had a fire and the pig woke everybody up and then went back and brought the dog out. He said "but why does the Pig only have three legs?"
She said well another time my son was playing on the ice and it broke and he fell in and the Pig ran to the barn and got a rope and saved him.
Again he asked "why does the Pig only have three legs?"
After all the Pig did for us, it didn't seem right to eat him all at once.

Lots of understaffed places here too, I’ve just decided to not be in any sort of hurry when going anywhere anymore. It’s easier to be nice than be a jerk and make the staffs life more miserable.

We have a local watering hole where we eat on the average at least once a week. A year & a half ago, I smoked a brisket for their employee holiday party (yes, we enjoy going in there that much.) We've never had a problem with service, the staff is always bustin' hump there. A month ago, I was sitting at the bar having dinner when one of the BoH folks came up to get a drink. "Hey.... thanks for dinner tonight. :)" Stopped her almost dead in her tracks, until she realized that I said it. The BoH gang really needs to hear that more often.

I was at a place in Mackinaw City where they were SLAMMED, chef was Sudanese, waitstaff was just squawking up a storm and he broke, and chewed back, on the way out I stuck my head through the pass and told him that he made the best onion rings I have ever eaten, his whole demeanor changed! “I love you, man! I like hearing that, I love you man!” And we were back the next day and I thanked him again, he was pleased to see up back after his tirade.
But, it had helped him. And they did have the best onion rings I’ve ever eaten! Looking forward to going back this summer!
