When a couple goes through a long and convoluted process to get tickets in order to spend $700 on an extravagant dinner, they expect perfection. But what happens when you're sharing that experience with 80 other people who jumped through the same hoops and are paying the same $700 on dinner....but they decided to bring their fussy 8-month old infant along? Chef and Alinea mastermind Grant Achatz took to Twitter to get express his frustration over whether or not he should interject.
My favorite response to said Tweet was:
"I don't bring my bottle of whiskey to Chuck E. Cheese, please don't bring your infant to Alinea. And yes. If you can afford a ticket to Alinea, then you can afford a babysitter."
What happened next? The story makes national news. As people chimed in and the story unfolded across all forms of media, we learned that the folks who brought their 8 month old to Alinea didn't intend to bring their infant, but were forced to because their babysitter canceled. This person is now the most talked-about babysitter since Elisabeth Shue.
