Every year, my husband takes me to my favorite restaurant for my birthday.
It is also a very luxurious restaurant, and my pal and I can’t afford to go there more than once a year.
I was excited to get dressed up and go to the restaurant. I was also undoubtedly disappointed when my pal and I got there and they were turning people away. I told them my pal and I had a reservation, but the concierge told us the restaurant was closed. He gave us a gift card that was more than enough to pay for a meal, although I wanted to be there that night, and not another. I told him it was my birthday. He also apologized again, and he said the heating and air conditioning system had broken. They had no a/c or ventilation system, but not only could they not allow their customers to dine under those conditions, but it was against the laws. They could use their license and the restaurant. I felt bad that they didn’t have heating and air conditioning, although I understood. My buddy and I ended up going back home, and my husband told me my pal and I would use our gift card in the very near future. I was annoyed, because I thought he would offer to work on the heating and air conditioning system, but unluckily, it was a giant building, and he could not work on it without help. The a/c unit was three stories up, on the roof. He didn’t really have tools, and I didn’t want him to ruin his suit. It would have been a great birthday present, although I was sure the heating and air conditioning system broke before they could start cooking. I also wondered if they got any prep done before the heating and air conditioning system went down.
