Hi everyone!
I just wanted to share with you a story that a fellow Tgirl told me about when she stopped in a local TG friendly restaurant that our Tri-Ess group frequently dines.
It was around midnight, early Tuesday morning, and my friend (Brianna) decided to stop in the St. Pete Diner for coffee on the way home after a long night.
She and a few other friends ate dinner at that same Diner earlier that night and when she went back for coffee, the same waitress served her. She giggled as she took her order and said. "Gee, Honey, you're out late tonight. I'll get your coffee, then I have to tell you something".
She brought over her coffee, then sat down in the booth with her and told her what had happened earlier that evening.
Waitress:
"A couple of hours after you guys left, another gurl came in and had coffee and a piece of apple pie. I think she was in her fifties and had on a nice lavender dress. You know, we get all kinds of people in here, especially late at night.
Anyway, a straight couple, in their forties comes in and the wife has to use the ladies room. The gurl in the lavender dress, had paid her bill and was in the ladies room. Well, the wife goes into the bathroom and a couple of minutes later, the gurl in the lavender dress comes outs, says goodnight to me and leaves. Then the wife comes out of the bathroom, walks over to the counter and asks to speak to the manager. Like, the chef hears this (she's a nice GG) and comes out of the kitchen and asks the lady what her problem is.
Well, the lady starts complaining that there was a man in a dress, in the ladies room, and people like that shouldn't be allowed in the ladies room.
You should have seen it, giggle.
The chef takes a step towards the lady and then says, real loud, 'I'd much rather have ten of 'those people' come in here, then one of your kind. :Angry3:
The lady started muttering, then went and got her husband and they left.
I didn't miss their business. I'd much rather have nice people like you come in here, you're never any trouble." :)
Brianna found her story rather amusing. She said that maybe if more gurls went out, they'd find that they're more accepted than they thought.
I thought that was a great story and I'm glad there are places like this where the people defend and support us.
The staff at that restaurant has always been very kind and courteous whenever we dine there and they always give us great service.
If any of you have plans to visit Florida and happen to make a stop in St. Petersburg, drop in at the St. Pete Diner and they'll treat you right. The food is good and the prices are pretty reasonable.
I just thought I'd share with you all good story that ended on a positive note.
Hugs!
