A friend of mine invited me to a Dodger game. She had dugout seats. I'd never sat in the dugout seats before, so I was excited. My friend hadn't either, and between the two us there was a bit of a learning curve.
We walked into the stadium and the first thing on our mind was beer. I stood in line and waited. But the line wasn't moving so we decided to skip the beer and find our seats. We contemplated buying beer a couple more times as we walked. We were mixed up and lost so we asked an usher for directions.
"See that glass door? Open that door and walk down the stairs and you'll see another door, open that door, walk past the buffet and you'll see yet another glass door, go out that door, up the stairs to the dugout seats."
"Got it!" He'd lost me at "see that door."
We found our seats and the minute we sat down a waiter approached us to take our order. We ordered two beers, peanuts and nachos. That was before we figured out that the buffet was free, and it was all you can eat. It was a hoity-toity buffet, if that's even possible. Boy, did we feel stupid.
"Everything is free?"
"Everything but the beer!"
"So this is how the privileged live."
To our credit, we ate a total of three Dodger dogs and a bratwurst sausage. I skipped the Dijon mustard for the sausage. Oh yeah, I also had a bag of Cracker Jacks. The prize was a stick-on tattoo.
