grin grin grin this reminds me of an outing with a bigman friend

a childhood friend/ life helper called me up to meet him at a club bar. When I got there he was on one wine bottle sipping alone. So the waiter brought a second glass

Am not good with alcoholics, so a few less than half glasses I was done.

Then I got a call, I told him I wanted to leave so I called the waitress ( I wanted to pay for the drink) He insisted... I insisted, he insisted again, I insisted a second time and he called me by my name and ask me to forget about paying ( I told myself this was the last time I would insist and I will give up on offering to paying) ... Lol so I insisted the last time being the 3rd and he said OK.

So the waitress showed up and I'm like how much is the wine bill... I tot my ears were playing games onr when I heard 40k shocked

I almost fainted... But I paid sha ( those were my sapa days tho).

... I marked that club building. As long as I was consigned it was a no go area.

Mumbai people (GM) went to a restaurant and confess that Augusto is expensive...

I went to a cozy restaurant one day, although I've been observing the place while driving along.
One day devil just push me enter the place. The 1st red light started from the gate with the way the security personnel addressed me, directed me where to pack. Looked around to see cars within my range I no see
I took a bold step, came down from my car and went to the poolside, saw plenty white men and women and high ranked officers.
smartly dressed waitress came immediately to take my orders, as a sharp guy, I ordered for star radler cos I know las las I can afford with ease.
Brethren, guess how much I paid? Only the VAT is close to the regular price.

Thank God I didn't order for all those chips n chicken, oysters etc.

In such places, you pay for the exquisite environment and then mostly elites and foreigners come there..
If you are lucky sef, someone can tip you with more than your salary..

were you a waiter there? were you paid in commensurate measure to the services you put in THERE? Were you respected and treated with dignity? Those are what counts even if it's on contract basis.meanwhile even if you collect ₦500 million per month as salary or via buisnness.i mean the one you worked for o not proceeds of stolen wealth from government or innocent people, there's a way you will spend money.its people who got their money through violence, cheating or stealing that spend money wastefully like that.theres an addage that says once you fetch water and carry it on your head from the stream YOU WILL KNOW THE VALUE OF EVERY DROP

Indian restaurant are the cheapest... Chinese are expensive
the Lebanese restaurants too are relatively affordable.when I went to one I bought 1 plate of fried rice and chicken ₦2500.their meat pie Na ₦300 and the good thing is their foods are tasty.the outside looks equisite though but there are no security to usher you inside.i guess it's for the grassroot and middle income earners.same thing with the restaurants in ShopRite and Silverbird cinemas but in this life no do pass yourself o.e get why cheesy

You sit down and the waiter brings you a tray of steamed rolled towels and uses a stainless steel picker to hand everyone sitting a steamed towel to sanitize their hands before even taking your orders! My dear, just excuse yourself and run! Or else, You go pay like white!
