Tidbit: Devil’s Advocate


Every day at work, my one value added responsibility is to decide where my group goes for lunch. Nothing special. But today, I was like the devil’s advocate, or the devil on my boss’s shoulder. As we are patiently waiting on the line to order sandwiches, we’re wrapped around the cookies, snacks, and dessert area. My boss picks up one of those healthy Kashi bars that are popularly known as health foods. He’s pretty determined to get it, but I quickly pick up a cherry filled crumb bar and show it to him. It was almost instantaneous that he puts his Kashi bar down and we decided to get the crumb bar. The breaking point was when I said, ” I will eat some too!”. We got it for a bite to taste. Instead it was so good, we picked at it all day and probably each consumed half of it equally. Lesson here: Not only do I decide where to go for lunch, sometimes I dictate what we eat too!! Don’t be around me if you are trying to be good on eating healthy. And another point, when people say they just want to try a bite, it almost always fails as “a bite” if the food ends up being good. We all do it…all the time. Reliable Cafe
