Welcome to the border, may I take your order?

Welcome to the border, may I take your order? So.... Yah. I'm in the process of putting together a luncheon for work tomorrow and decided to go with a local Mexican restaurant. Red flags everywhere.... The first time I called to see if they could even provide us with what we needed, the person who answered the phone said to me... "You call tomorrow. Boss no here, you call tomorrow. One o'clock. You call tomorrow." Um.... Ok. I consult with Boss #2 who was listening from her office, and we decide we will give it another shot. I called back the following day. This time a female with broken English told me the boss was not there and he is only in and out briefly, can he give me a call. Seeing this become a giant waste of my time, I told the girl that he had until 4 pm or I would have no choice but to choose a different restaurant. I then went on to tell her I was looking at ordering enough food for 125 people and if they didn't have the capability of providing this for me to just tell me now so I can Keep looking. Suddenly, she was taking my order. Within 45 minutes the boss who was never there was calling me back, confirming my order, and assuring me they had the capabilities of providing us what I needed. He quoted me a price and then politely asked if I could provide 50% down. Not a big deal... It was a lot of food I was ordering and the restaurant is kind of small..... So Boss #2 drops off the 50% today after work. Nobody knows anything. Fantastic..... She texts me a picture of the receipt and I just want to die. It's the workers name, the word paid (in Spanish) and the dollar amount. Am I even going to be able to invoice this??? Needless to say, I'm not feeling very secure about this whole thing. We'll see what happens tomorrow when I show up to pick up the food. I have a bad feeling I'm going to be demanding my $500 back and walking away with no food. Wish me luck! |

Are you sure the price isn't in Pesos? That's like $22. But really, that comes out to like $4 a person, that's not too bad.

Good luck, and you may be surprised, they may come through with flying colors. I never tried any Mexican food. Through out my life , and about the time I was to retire, I took a contract for 2 years work in central Mexico, I learned fast what to order and what not to order, after about a month h is was enjoyable.. a real life's experience and I found out that most of the time their word was solid... just have a good and safe day... You know The Pizza place would love you also,, Now, during the past few months of the shut down, we have provided pizza to the team on more than one occasion, so don't worry, those places are not being left out.
