Bar Fly Banter, Vol. 4

Heard tonight--

Bartendress: "Put the salt back on the other side of the pepper!"
Barfly: "Why, who cares."
Bartendress: "White is right!"

I immediately thought "No way in the world after 3-days-a-week patronage for years am I sitting in a racist bar."

Although not mandatory in a food serving establishment, as a courtesy in a situation where you can conclusively determine which way the patron will be viewing the salt and pepper (i.e. a bar, or a booth where the spices abut a wall, etc.), you put the salt on the right and the pepper on the left as viewed by the patron.

Wanna guess why? [spoiler below]





As a courtesy to the blind.
