Marketing Skillz and such

My sister tells me that I have the world's WORST marketing skills.  She came to visit once and I said to her "Hey, would you like any of this left-over crappy old pie from Thanksgiving?  If not, I am giving it to the dogs."  You might be surprised to learn that she did not want any of that old tired-ass pie.  I know I was!

Truth in advertising that is my motto.  And apparently it is also the motto of the cute little waitress person we had the other day.

Here's the deal:  We were going out to lunch to entertain a visitor who wanted some good Texas barbecue. (Note:  Barbecue is spelled like that. CUE not QUE.  Idiots who put QUE on their signs will never see me or my money.  My other motto is Never Support Dumb Asses.  If you abbreviate it as BBQ, well that's okay, but it should not let you think that correct spelling is BARBEQUE.)

Anyhoo, back at the fun little Texas barbecue restaurant.  We were all deciding what to have and I was busy steering the group towards the sandwich part of the menu.  The really cute little waitress person came to answer questions and hurry this procedure along and I asked her about the cole slaw.  I was interested in both the pulled pork and the chopped beef sandwiches and everyone knows pulled pork is better with some cole slaw on it.  But it is waaaaaaaay better if the cole slaw is made with a vinegar type dressing rather than a sweet mayonnaise-y dressing.  So I asked her about it and she said "Well, it's kind of mayonnaise-y and it's also kind of runny and watery".

That remark just kind of hung there in the air for a bit and then my son said something about her attending the same marketing class that I had attended.  After which I took bets on whether he would order cole slaw or fried okra.  I guarantee you I was the only one who ended up getting a bit of cole slaw.  And that's only because I did order the pulled pork.

That pulled pork was outstanding.  This place makes homemade yeast-risen rolls, so the bread part of the sandwich was also perfect.  Nice sauce too.  But that cole slaw?

It was pretty much "as represented".  It was sad, mayonnaise-y.  It was runny, it was watery.  And it was onion-y!!!  Blechh.

Any of y'all want some cole slaw before I end up composting this crap?
