Debbie and Larry are traveling again. They are back in Hawaii for the month of February. They left on Tuesday morning and arrived in Kona late that night. From Debbie’s traveling experiences, she has some travel tips to share. (We know that you are all thrilled about this tips). First, people there are reasons that restaurants have employees standing outside to take your order. It is called expediting the order process. They want you to tell those employees your order not chit chat with them. Here are things that Debbie recommends that you don’t do while standing in those lines:
* Wait until you get to the order taker to look at the menu. (Do you need to get your eyes checked? Are you not concerned about your fellow travelers and how they feel about you? How will you know if you are on the correct plane if you can’t even figure out how to look at a menu? Why are you standing in line if you don’t know what you want to eat???)
* Act surprised that they ask you for your order. (Really? You didn’t see what the people in front of you were doing? Stop playing with your phone!!).
* Walk up and Interrupt the order taker to ask a question (This annoys people standing in line especially if the order taker walks away. It can make some people mumble and shout out things like “He is busy – Go Away).
* Cut the line (This does not make friends with other people. Debbie especially takes this hard. This upsets Debbie and Larry has to grab her jacket to keep her from lunging at the Line Cutters).
Debbie suggests that you put her in charge of those lines. She will whip those people in shape and send the problem people to the back of the line if they do not follow her instructions. Debbie will offer more travel tips during her month in February.
Larry thinks that it may be a long trip to Hawaii. His travel tip is to stand behind Debbie in one of those lines and not in front.
