On the Border...

So, there's a new On the Border opening in White Trash land. In addition to WT Cheddar's, Outback, Olive Garden, Texas Road House and Chuck E. Cheese. There has been a big sign hanging on the OTB that notes "training in process." Fisher and I drove by there today after church and the place was packed. We decided to go for dinner, and figured that they were serving people and just making sure people were aware that service isn't perfect yet. Well, we get there and a manager and greeter are outside welcoming people. We were asked for our invitation! Of course, we didn't have have one. I gave Fisher the big "I told you so!" Which, is really mean of me.,,and I shouldn't do that. The manager said he could let us in if we sat at the bar or on the patio, and that our food would be free! He asked if that was okay, and we said SURE! We had a limited selection to choose from, but we both found something we liked...there were multi-colored menus and Fisher ordered from blue and I ordered from yellow. Our appetizer was selected for us...Queso Live! Since we got an appetizer, we didn't get dessert! But still, it was a good meal and it was free! There were also plenty of leftovers! As we were leaving, we heard the manager asking other people for their invitations. We think that invitations probably weren't sent out, or that employees gave free passes to their friends. Either way, it was great! I'm sure the manager didn't turn anyone away because he wouldn't want to create bad feelings toward the restaurant before it even opened! Especially in White Trash land where the competition is stiff!
