Intern Elf (in Mary's Daily Dish)

Interns are great. I recently scored one at work awhile back and have decided that everyone needs to have one. What did I do before my intern? Too much… that’s what I did…too much.

We have one rule, my intern and I, that she does anything I ask… except get me coffee. That’s where we both draw the line.

Since it is the holidays my intern is smart enough to get me a gift. (Good move intern.) She is also so smart that she knew exactly what I would like.

I came into work today to see a snowman bag filled with green and red tissue on my desk. The card read “from Intern.”

I opened it to find a bag filled with goodies from Harry and David. She knows me too well. She got me Southwestern Chicken Chili Mix, chocolate mints, chocolate toffees, intern-made fruit bars and last but not least gourmet coffee flavoring accents. I was so excited about this I actually called my intern by her real name. Good work intern. Good work.

The Final Dish: My intern may not get me coffee… but she gets good gifts. I wonder if it counts if I ask her to flavor my coffee for me with my new gourmet accents? Hmmmmm…

If you don’t have an intern yet…. get some cool stuff yourself at www.harryanddavid.com

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
