Pluggers by Rick McKee for May 20, 2016

Oh, you know you’re going to be spending $$$!

And also needing a flashlight because it is too dark to read said menu

And if the menu has tassels on it, we’re doomed.

Funny.

Heck, it is getting hard to find a something besides a chain restaurant.(fast food or pub/restaurant). I like watching Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and remember the days.

Surprised he got in—he is not wearing a necktie ! ! ! !

The tablecloth probably should have given him pause as well.

There was a seafood store nearby (now closed) that had a few tables & was set up as a New England picnic with plastic table cloths & the food came out in baskets, but it did have menus- not a big plastic board. Once when my parents were visiting, the discussion was buffet or sit down. My Mom wanted to sit down & the place had to have a tablecloth. We took them there. She was amused-but it was sit down & a table cloth & the food was wonderful. We were really sorry when it closed.

One of the best BBQ restaurants in our area serves on a tray with butcher paper. Great food, and they have tablecloths, but plastic.

Used to be a time when pluggers WERE the only ones at a sitdown restaurant being served food by a waitstaff.

The only reason pluggers are “out of their comfort zone” in a sit-down restaurant is because they forgot their bifocals so they could read the menu.

Plugger “fancy restaurant” Denny’s! Senior heart smart menu!

The big tip off is there’s a candle on the table.

No big screen TVs with news, sports, and menu.

A plugger really gets out of his comfort zone when the menu does not list the prices ! I know I do .

Not if you never venture into a place with a “plastic sign over your head” as we do!

If fast-food joints relied on folks like my wife and I, they would be out of business in a few days…
