Pork Brisket
I’ve been blessed with mostly controllable situations at work. The solutions are easy to find. So I reached out to my fellow lunch rush server fam. And boy do I have a good one.
The guest server chronicler is a gem and a firecracker. Mom of a beautiful son. Loves jalapenos like others like pickles. We get along well because we speak the truth whether it’s popular or not. Love her.
I saw a look of shock on her face near the end of her shift. Upon asking what’s up, she shared her story. She’s shaking her head in disbelief the entire time.
“I had a woman ask me if there’s pork in our beef brisket.” She paused to make sure I understood. “She asked if there was pork in our beef brisket.” She continued to shake her head.
Then the light went on in my brain. “But the brisket is made from beef. A cow’s a cow and a pig’s a pig. Two different animals. The brisket is from the cow. Beef. Cow. Pork. Pig.”
She nodded her head emphatically. “Exactly!”
You never know what happens when you interact with people for a living.
