DON’T SNUB THE SPAGHETTI.
The One Way to Create Conuterna
tton in a New York Italian
Hestanrant.
When a customer enters an Italian
restaurant in New York, he is supposed
to have bestowed himself upon that
particular establishment for the pur
pose of procuring spaghetti, says the
Sun. The experienced patron yields to
the requirements of the restaurant and
enjoys the spaghetti when he gets it,
though there is no positive assurance
in an Italian restaurant at what point
the spaghetti will appear any more than
there is when the cheese or salad will be
served. It is no unusual thing in an Ital
ian restaurant for a dinner to be begun
with salad, and cheese, grated and served
in a saucer, is generally brought in with
the soup instead of at the end of the re
past.
The unsophisticated patron of an Ital
ian restaurant in New York, high or low,
expensive or cheap, celebrated or new,
can in one way only cause surprise, bor
dering on bewilderment, to the conduc
tors, employes and patrons of the es
tablishment alike, and that is by declar
ing with firmness at the proper mo
ment:
“I don’t care for spaghetti. Take it
away."
Such a declaration, seldom made and
never repeated In the same restaurant,
has the same effect on the business done
in it that the explosion of a boiler has
on a locomotive. It brings everything
to a full stop. It ends abruptly the pop
ularity of the patron there. He pays his
score and departs, but not until he has
done so is serenity restored.
