Ramadhan Ghost Town

One night last week we decided to have supper at KFC. Now during the fasting month you can sit anywhere you want at lunchtime. Supper, though, you better plan ahead. So ... anyways ... we headed for our nearest KFC to find people lined out the door a few minutes before fast-breaking time.

Fortunately we have 4 KFCs within 10 minutes of the house. We just passed that full one by and searched out another. We got to this one and people were already chowing down. The kids went table searching while the adults got in line and believe it or not we were able to find just enough space for us to sit down and eat.

But before we got finished eating, this was what we saw. Almost nobody! One other non-fasting family came in and finding NOT ONE table clean enough to eat, they tried elsewhere.
The tables stayed this way for a bit. You know why?? The staff were all in the back having some supper, too.
Eventually the folks came out and started cleaning and apologized for the mess. We told them we understood perfectly and that it was just a sign of the times!

I am glad to know when we do ever get there I can have KFC! I won't be trying the fish curry stuff. Ask the guys about my Paella I made for Wed's meeting....they said it was good...I hope they weren't lying. LLL Re
