I met a singer at La-z-Boy
Today I stopped in for lunch at a local Uno Chicago Grill before visiting the local La-z-Boy furniture store to look for a recliner. Up until today I had no experience with either of these establishments. I thought that my dining experience could only improve after yesterday’s visit to Ruby Tuesday. Again I was seated immediately. This restaurant has no salad bar. I ordered their most basic hamburger platter cooked well done with fries on the side, a Caesar Salad with anchovies, and a glass of their “freshly” brewed unsweetened iced tea. The salad was small, the anchovies were plentiful, the burger cooked perfectly (which unfortunately made it a little dry, my fault, which I countered with ketchup and Grey Poupon), and the fries were fantastic. I did not realize they were seasoned fries but boy-o-boy was I impressed. The iced tea took two sugar packets and was tasty.
Thank you Uno Chicago Grill!
I was greeted by a salesman, a gentleman, named Michael Andrews as I walked through La-z-Boy. He was courteous, knowledgeable, and most importantly patient. He left me alone when I needed to be alone, and he checked back every so often to answer any questions I might have without being intrusive. The bottom line, he was a professional who knew how to treat a customer. He will never know how much I appreciated his demeanor. The new, and first La-z-Boy recliner arrives this Friday.
It turns out Mr. Andrews is a singer, jazz to be exact. You can catch his performance at Dante Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. on July 26, 2008 at 8:00 PM. If you’re interested, here a link to him on You Tube, An Evening with Michael Andrews.
This man can sing!
