My Favorite Restaurant

OK, not really, but it has been a great place for breakfast.

For the past few months we have been going to Knight & Day in South Surrey at least once a week, usually on Wednesdays or Thursdays, for breakfast. The food is okay - the cook likes to burn the hashbrowns, he doesn't know how to make toast, and quite often screws up the eggs in one way or another. So why do we like it? Because of Denise. Denise is the kind of waitress that you just want to hug when you come in the door. She is friendly, chatty, and can carry on 5 or 6 conversations, while making sure your coffee cup is full, your food is in front of you, and you are happily eating or drinking. She si the kind of waitress that makes you want to keep going back to a restaurant that is not the best one in town, but she makes it the best.

So why am I writing this? Because Denise is leaving the South Surrey Knight & Day. Without any notice, the boss cut her hours to a point where she cannot stay there and survive. She has 2 teenage daughters, and without full time work, she may as well stay at home and collect EI.

Is this fair? No! Now I know that life is often not fair, but what is it that makes a business owner so blind tat they think they can survive without there best worker? What is it that makes business owners so damn stupid?

I think the owner of South Surrey's Knight & Day restaurant should get ready to close his doors, because we are not the only ones upset about this decision - many of Denise's loyal customers will either follow her to a new restaurant, or if she does not return to serving smiles with her coffee, we will find another place to go.
