Last weekend, I took a roadtrip to Pennsylvania to visit some of my relatives in the Philadelphia suburbs. While I was there, I decided to go to one of my favorite sushi restaurants on earth – Ooka Japanese Steakhouse in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
After consuming a delicious seaweed salad, rainbow roll, and lobster dynamite roll, I sat back – completely satisfied with my dining experience. Then, all of a sudden, the waitress brought me the check – and with it, a mint with the name of the restaurant printed on the wrapper using Papyrus font! I quickly grabbed my phone and snapped a photograph. The image is blurry, but the implications are clear: even the best sushi restaurants can make mistakes when it comes to branding and aesthetics.
Normally, in a situation like this I would have refused to pay the bill at the establishment, but – as I said – Ooka is really, really good. So I decided to extend some grace – I paid the bill, thanked the waitress, and lit the drapes on fire as I left the restaurant. Everyone’s a winner.
