Streeter: Homophobic Dining Edition
Overheard at a King Street eatery, 10:00 PM Tuesday.
Patron*: Excuse me, waitress? Can I please be moved to a different table? I think the two men at the table next to mine are gay.”
Waitress: “And you don’t want to catch it, right?”
Patron: “Well, I’m not worried about that. I’m just concerned about…you know…hearing private conversations.”
Didn’t anyone tell him this was Canada? We let gay people get married here.
*On a side-note, Patron was the holder of a Centurion Card, an American Express credit card for the rich and famous which requires its holder to charge a minimum of US$250,000 annually. Which just goes to show that money can buy you a lot of things, but not tolerance and a little class.
