You Know Your from a small Town

Great list of Small Town jokes i.e. You know you are from a small town when the New Year's Baby is born in October.

Went for coffee with my brother at the Trapper's Kettle in my hometown Belfield. Very interesting restaurant that used to flourish but seems to be struggling since it went to buffet style. Thought he went buffet so he wouldn't have to hire as much help but talked to the owner and he says he changed because he couldn't get any good help.

I read a little about wedding buffets and how people make such pigs of themselves and this one contributor to the discussion said they always serve the first round and let people come back for as much as they want in the second round. Seems most people fill up first go and don't come back. Right now the Trapper's Kettle is just too pricey, but I have been in other places too where buffets failed. I think people like to be waited on and go for that as much or more than the food itself. You would think tips alone would be enough to attract help, but America is so rich and easy even money is no incentive. If I were to have the restaurant, I would serve the food they served in the trapper's era days and make it a real tourist joint - and probably be a cheap menu also - lots of Indian foods and see if I could hire some young kids off the reservation. Whitey might feel so guilty that he would tip great.
