The Great Coupon Incident of 2008!

Soooo... on a warm summer's eve, Little Tessie Greenfield finds herself working at a decrepit old Friendly's restaurant in the black heart of Syracuse, NY. Now I am going to be honest, the details from here on out may or may not be accurate (I mean honestly, it is all a little hazy). We all know how Tessie loves to hoard Friendly's coupons, and then deal them in the back alleys late at night. For many weeks she was living large off the windfall. A good thing can only last so long and as it goes, all criminals will eventually make a mistake (i.e. leave a fingerprint, a strand of hair, leave behind their Friendly's fanny pack stuffed full of illegal Friendly's coupons). Little Tessie was no different. On that fateful night, when she finally did slip up and left her bounty of coupons behind, she rushed back to Friendly's to retrieve them. Tessie then rushed back home laughing to herself, thinking she had just gotten away with her perfect little crime. The next day as she strolled into work, thinking nothing of her past indiscretions, as she walked past the cooler full of watermelon and orange creme rolls - security whisked her away to the managers office. Apparently someone had looked inside her fanny pack and noticed her stash of coupons. In the cutthroat world of waitressing, her coworker did not hesitate to turn her in for their own gain. Her boss, Mr. Fribble, was not happy and immediately fired Tessie and black balled her from every Friendly's restaurant this side of the Mississippi. As Tessie cried herself to sleep that night she was determined to not go out like that. First thing in the morning, Tessie called her defense lawyer (her mother- and as all of Fredonia knows, you do NOT mess with her). Mrs. Greenfield esq. was quick to call Mr. Fribble and give him a piece of her mind, he never knew what hit him. The next day, Friendly's called Tessie and begged her to come back to the restaurant, the Happy Endings (sundaes) were just not the same without her there, the restaurant could not survive without her waitressing skills. Well, 'ol Hoss was having none of that. She still had a little dignity left, so she stuffed it in her fanny pack and moved on to greener pastures, and by greener pastures I mean you can now find her at IHOP. I love ya Tessie!!!
