Go Eat at Dave and Buster’s RIGHT Now

For two reasons:

1) Their food is utterly delicious (especially the Buffalo Bar Chicks)

and

2)If you should find yourself in the unfortunate position of having your fiance’s precious iPhone 4 eaten alive by a Stephen King-esque industrial paper shredder on their grounds like this (click to enlarge):

You can rest assured that the fine staff at Dave and Buster’s will make it right.  As I’m sure you’ve sorted out, through an unfortunate series of events Nicole’s phone wound up being dumped with a bunch of tickets into a ticket shredder.  Thankfully though, both the onsite manager, Maria and also their general manager, Gregg were kind enough to offer to pay for the destroyed phone.

Now, I’d like to speak about Gregg for a moment.  While we’ve only spoken once, this man’s manliness was more than apparent.  I have heard tale that his Herculean balls were forged by the gods themselves  in the fires of Hades.  In one deft move he assured me that our suffering would be short-lived as he stretched forth his righteous and benevolent hand to rid us of our plight a literal flock of doves flew overhead at that instant accompanying his angelic words of comfort.  I wept in pure reverence that he would be so willing, so just, so prompt in assuring us we’d be reimbursed for Nicole’s demolished iPhone 4.  While I’m not sure if that payment will be in U.S. dollars or the combined joy of a thousand childrens’ laughter, I trust he will keep to his word.  While this is just an artist’s rendering as I doubt a mere mortal could capture Gregg’s majesty with our inept color spectrum, I think it will give you all an idea of who we’re dealing with:

All kidding aside, there is only one worry that I now have about the situation.  They asked for a receipt showing I did indeed buy an iPhone 4 (totally reasonable), but that receipt shows a purchase price of $199.99.  Unfortunately, the price of a replacement iPhone 4 is actually $599.99 when you’re not eligible for renewal.  I’m not sure if Dave and Buster’s will be willing to reimburse me the full price for a replacement, but that’s where all of you, dear readers, come in.

You see, while I don’t doubt that Gregg could simply roundhouse-kick his way into a favorable outcome for Nicole and I, it might help his case to get us reimbursed from corporate if I could show them that at least a few people are going to comment here and go get some Dave and Buster’s food at some point.

I’m not sure what the ultimate outcome will be, but I’ll be sure to post it on here as soon as I do.

So thanks for any support as we try to get Nicole back her sweet, sweet phone and Gregg, if you’re reading, thanks for being so awesome and rest assured that tales of your mercy shall be told through the ages.
