One of those days

When things are slow at the restaurant where I work, something strange often happens. Why? Simple, pure boredom. ....but tonight it got a little out of hand. It was extremely slow.....not just a little slow.....extremely slow. I work as a hostess so I get to see the expression on peoples face as they come out of the kitchen to tell me what happened. (The hostess then finds the manager :-) ) The person usually looks a little nervous. But I was sitting at the desk tonight and one of the cooks came out of the kitchen with an big grin on his face. Here is the conversation that followed,
(Keep in mind how slow it was. We were all pretty bored........)

Cook: Did you see the big mess in the kitchen?
Me: What big mess?
Cook: From the dishwasher!
Me: No, what happened? Did it break again? (our dishwasher has a knack for breaking :-) )
Cook: No, half a bottle of dish detergent got poured in!
Me: How did that happen?
Cook: Justin (the dish washer...the person, not the machine :-)) did it
Me: On accident?
Cook: No! He wanted to see what would happen
Me: And.....
Cook: Bubbles are everywhere! The dishwasher overflowed into the sink and bubbles where coming out of all the drains! Even the one in the back! And the floor is soaked.......hahahaha


I then walk to the back of the kitchen, and sure enough, piles of suds are being mopped up.

Needless to say, the floor around the dishwasher is sparkling, and the kitchen has a nice detergent smell to it :-)
