/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The other day I went to a local Mom and Pop restaurant that has a soup bar. I put my newspaper at my place and headed to the soup bar to get a bowl. I also ordered a BLT when I got back to my booth.

Anyway, there are 2 old men getting soup and talking and the one old man got his soup and walked away and the other old man started talking to me. He said cruises are the best way to take a trip. They offer so much, he told me, they really are the best vacation option.

As he got his soup and walked away I thought is this right? When I'm at a soup bar I'm there to get soup not be indoctrinated about vacations and ocean cruises. I just want to get my soup and then eat my BLT. How I spend my time off from work is my business.

I think restaurants should post a sign by the soup bars about what can and cannot be discussed while waiting to get your soup.

What do you think?
