UPDATE: JANUARY 29, 2023:
A PRE-CHOW SHOUT OUT FOR
APPLE PAY AND YOXSERI
This is the second time that my conspiracy and I have eaten at the Original House Of Pancakes in Bothell Washington. Our waitress is "Yoxseri." She was already fast with bringing us our drinks after taking our orders. The occasion is celebrating the birthday of one of our usual family get together suspects (not mine). This preliminary review is the shout out for the fact that they take Apple Pay. I love Apple Pay. It is one of the few high-tech concepts that actually consistently works well! That means I don't have to dig my wallet out of my pocket, and then try to get my RFID ensleaved ("enslaved" will also work) credit cards out of their little plastic sleeves, and then again, have to take them out of there RFID sleaves. The older you get, the more that means to us. It also means we do not have to risk getting our credit card skimmed while it is outside of it's sleave. Once we get through chowing down, the "post-liminary" review will follow.
AND NOW FOR POST-CHOW FOLLOW-UP
And now, that the six of us have completed our morning repast, it is time to notate that nobody had any complaints about anything. I for one loved my chocolate pancakes. My only hairline gripe is that they should have asked me first if I wanted whipped cream, but no matter, I just simply shoved it off. But what really impressed me was the receipt had a QR code on it so that I could pay for my ticket without having to hand my credit card over to the waitress or go up to the register. This saves time for everybody, and it eliminates the risk of a corrupt cashier skimming our credit card numbers while doing the transaction. The proper name for this btw is "mobile pay," which includes Apple Pay and Google pay (for Android). I cannot speak for Google pay efficiency, as I have no experience with Android devices. Welcome to the 21st-century. Things are already different!
THE REST OF THE STORY
I did take a trip to the little boys restroom. It was clean, had two sinks, and two urinals, but only one number 2 stall. On a crowded Sunday morning, that could cramp our style (knowwhatImeanVern?) But at least that one stall did have PLENTY of TP, as well as a plunger and scrubbing brush (BTW, the plunger came in handy).
