Went to get some Jamaican food today. For some reason, the Panamanians that own the place–not making that up–were taking way too long to take my order. I’m not sure why, but it may have had something to do with the cat ahead of me in line.
I don’t know what happened, but by the time I got to the register to pay for my patties, the cat at the register was saying “I’ll give you your money back.” Dude replied with, “my bad, but I ain’t paying that much.”
It appeared that the gentleman ahead of me in line, paid for his food. They ran the credit card and everything. Then, after he found out the total and agreed to submit payment, he decided the food cost too much. He then asked for his money back…which he received.
Then what did he do? He sat down and ate his food!
He ordered. He paid. He whined. He was refunded. And he sat and ate?
I have never seen anything like that at a West Indian restaurant. You can’t even get away with that at Bahama Breeze, and you can get a chain to refund your money by saying the ice wasn’t cold enough.
Shoot, I gotta remember that trick.

That was a very bold move. Times like those are when machetes come in handy..
Three problems here:
1) You exercised such phenomenally poor judgement that you not only ate Jamaican food, but you did so intentionally, AND you paid real honest-to-God money for it.
Ok, I lied…it’s one problem. But sweet tapdancing Christ, why would you ever eat Jamaican food on anything other than a dare? You’re smarter than that…knock it off. No pity.
he got his food anyway?!?!? And ate it IN the restaurant?
He must have been on some Jedi mind sh*t right there, cause even making the suggestion that you might wanna keep an 12.00 oxtail meal after they refunded you your money would get you straight mash up here.
Kirk- I take it you don’t like Jamaican food?
Okay Kirk-you didn’t have to go there with the Jamaican food! I grew up on, love it, and am none the worse for wear. 🙂 Now, Jamaican food cooked by Panamanians…ya might have an argument there. I’ve been to this particular establishment–more inauthentic Jamaican cuisine is hard to find.
Kirk, come on now. Unless you’re eating Jamaican in the middle of Kansas like every Chinese buffet in the south then something’s amiss.
At least once a month I’m at Millie’s Caribbean here in Orlando for jerk, rice & peas and home made fruit punch. Can’t tell me there’s anything wrong with them.
I don’t understand how two people commented on what Kirk said but failed to mention how hilarious “sweet tapdancing Christ” was. Whew that was funny.
Thanks Kirk.
I don’t know if I should take a bow or apologize for looking like one of those brain donors that thinks he’s the star of the comment section.
Tiffany, Evan, Jaeda…my Jamaican food experiences are limited, but still…no thanks.
Clarence – I stole that line from somewhere, but I’ll be damned if I can remember where. Lewis Black maybe?
FYI,
The majority of Black Pananamians are of Jamaican descent. They came to work the Banama plantations that used to flourish there and to build the Panama Canal along with many other manual-labor and low paying jobs. They mostly reside in Colon along the Carribean Coast of Panama and still live there and have also migrated to Panama City (Capital of Panama) mostly. Colon is a cool place but the average white person might think it’s too dangerous for them.
That guy is just downride rude. Seriously.
