THE DAY MENDY ALMOST FIRED ALL THE WAITERS

It started, innocently enough, at least for a bunch of 15 and 16 year olds who didn't realize the consequences of what they were about to do.

It was dinnertime and we noticed that ices were on the desert menu.

Yet, when it was time for the waiters to eat - there were none for us.

Herd mentality overtook us and before you know it, we're indignantly chanting some ridiculous mantra about "no ices, no dinnner" and we decide NOT to serve dinner.

We're sitting on the bleachers or shooting around on the Basketball court (while the Counselors are serving their own tables) when I hear my name being called, "Perlow, get over here!" It's Mendy and he is "none too pleased". We gather on the bleachers and listen in stunned silence to how close we all were to being fired for such a "stunt".

Needless to say, we never did anything like that again.
