   😂 So, we just went into a small restaurant that only has about eight tables. Something seemed a bit off. The host came up to us and said they had a momentary power outage, and even though the power had come back on, the Wifi didn't, which means their ordering/payment system was off line, so they couldn't seat anyone.

   I said, "What if I paid in cash?"

   "We can't open the cash drawer."

   "What if I paid the exact amount?"

   "We still can't place orders. We can't communicate with the kitchen."

     Folks, I was *looking at the people in the kitchen* as they said this. They were 12' away, and the door was open. 😐

     The wait staff didn't know how to take an order on a paper check and give it to the kitchen. There was no manager on site that could tell them to just run a cash business for the evening. The place ground to a halt without Wifi.

     By this point, there were three parties they were turning away. They essentially closed for the night.

     We are doomed. 😩
