Carol Perkins: Change Please Previous Column: Hello, Are You There? By Carol Perkins On a recent trip to the beach with some ladies, we looked for a good steakhouse that wasn't a chain. A place in Pensacola called the District was highly recommended. Fine dining was not what we had in mind, but once we parked and walked a block, we decided to make this our splurge for the week. We soon realized we were a little underdressed, but no one knew us. A clue upon entering was the overly large flower arrangements throughout the restaurant and even on each table. We could barely see over the bouquet to have a conversation. Two of us ordered steaks and one side each. The other two had pork chops and one side. No bread, not even a shaker of salt on the table. When the food arrived, we steak eaters were well pleased, but the pork chop eaters were not. We could have had a better meal at Outback for half the price, but it wasn't the first time any of us had wasted money on a less than delicious meal. One lady said, "I knew we should have gone to Whataburger." The real clincher was when we paid our checks. One lady gave the server a $100 bill for her $45 meal. He brought her back $55 in one-dollar bills. She held them out like a fan, not believing what had happened. When she asked if he couldn't give her larger bills, he said he had to go through the bartender for payment and there weren't any larger bills. Think of having 55 dollar bills. She wasn't happy. As we were leaving, I asked the bartender about this. "He's right. I didn't have any cash except for ones and a few fives. Most people pay with cards." The days of cash may soon be ending. We stopped at Baskin Robbins before returning to the condo. The bill was $25. The lady with the ones bought all our ice cream and paid in dollar bills, explaining why. "I never have enough ones," the server replied. She got rid of her ones and because the girl was so nice, she tipped her ten dollars. All in ones! Everyone was happy.
