I never said it was gourmet cuisine but it was a very pleasant experience. We were sitting there talking while we were waiting for the waitress to come over and I was showing Wade one of the gift cards we have. It's good at several different restaurants. The waitress walks up to the table and cheerfully exclaims "Aw, you got me a gift card that was so nice". I burst out laughing and Wade was dumbfounded. Normally he is the one with the quick wit. The next time the waitress came over I told her he so deserved that since he's usually the one making comments like that. Every time she came to the table she had some remark to make and she had us in stitches.
When we went to the register to pay the girl asked if everything was ok and Wade said fine except for the waitress who was a real pain in the butt. Without missing a beat the cashier said well we don't like her either.
Hopefully all the laughing burned off the calories from my muffin.

Most of Phil's jokes go right over service people's heads. They are so busy and harried, they don't have time to really listen or joke, your waitress was a gem! We used to have a Perkins Pancake House, wonder if it's the same chain?
bwhaahah! That's great!! My husband is always making comments to the waitress!!! I always liked Perkins and actually used to work at one...when I was in high school! They just announced that two of the Perkins in our area will be closing. I was surprised!! We do have a Denny's here in town...which is similar! And they even offer the AARP discount!!! Always a plus!
She was good :D I would be in good spirits after eating a muffin like this one.
How nice to have a cheerful waitress, here most of them look like they've sucked a lemon. lol

I love Perkins and their muffins. we used to eat there, five female friends, but that was years ago. the last time i ate in one was in Savannah when my dad died in 2006. i met my best friend from high school at the Perkins on the interstate and my brother and his wife met us and we spent 3 hours talking the waitress there was really nice to. we asked if she minded if we stayed and visited after she cleared the table, she said stay as long as you want. you had good food and good fun, nothing better
I LOVE Perkins and we do not have one here - well at least around me.
Sounds like there was a lot of joking going on - I assume they really did like the waitress - they were kidding - right?

Sounds like a lovely meal...I think it's nice when the staff will interact and have a laugh...so many times these days you will get served by someone who doesn't even take the time to glance at you!!
I used to go to Perkins in college. I loved it. It is like an upscale version of Denny's. They don't seem to have Perkins around the Small Town. I kind of miss it.
Did that come with butter? I do enjoy a good muffin:)

You and I both posted food...THH!
Sounds like you had a waitress with a fun personality. I like banana nut muffins...yummy! I prefer my muffins warm. Is that all you ate? And your worried about the calories? You're so funny Ann!
It's always so wonderful to find a waitress or any customer service person in a good mood and up for some banter.
Nice to have fun with your hubby...and at a restaurant too!
Sounds like a fun time and the muffin was a bonus!
My Dad's like that, he jokes around with everyone. Most people like it, though I'm sure there's other people who just don't get his humor. Oh well. And I love Perkins. I haven't been there in forever, because there's none local to me, but my old roommate and I went to one nearly every week.
LOL! When we traveled back & forth from VA to CT, we'd stop at either Perkins or Cracker Barrel...:)JP
That sounds like a fun breakfast. It is always fun to have a waitress with a sense of humor. Take care.
I'm usually the quiet one at a restaurant, but I love it when there is that much fun.
I love Perkins breakfasts! I always get grumpy waitresses - the last one went in the kitchen and we could hear her yelling. Hee-hee.
It's so nice when the waiter/waitress make the visit fun! And that muffin looks delicious! YUM!!!
I think Perkins has pretty good food. And a funny waitress makes it even better. That muffin looks delish.
Gotta love a fun waitress...makes the whole dining experience a happy one. The muffin looks yummy...my favorites come from a place called Mimi's. I feeling the need to go there soon.
