I spend $36,000 yearly on food that looks like this:

My mother is 91 years old and has been living in a senior residence for the last year.

Last Sunday, the weather was gorgeous.

My wife and I visited around lunchtime to take my mother out for a stroll.

When I walked into my mom’s room, I saw this abomination pictured above.

I Started Seeing Red

I've spent a couple days in county jail before.

The jail food was gourmet compared to this abomination.

I snatched up the box of pig slop, and then my wife and I hunted down the manager.

When I found him I asked him “What in the actual f*ck is this.”

My wife wasn't expecting me to be so direct. So she shrank back a little.

However, I didn't let up. I let that young man have it. 

After finishing my rant, I asked the young man how he'd feel if someone served this sh*t to his mother.

The young man paused for a moment. Then he looked me in the eyes and said…

“Sir, I couldn’t agree with you more. I'd probably cuss management out too.”

He caught me off guard. I was ready to take the fight to the next level, but his response was so genuine, it instantly deflated my anger. 

The manager told me his company cares more about numbers than the residents' quality of life.

He said they will not give him the resources or the staff he needs to do his job well. 

I’ve never seen this type of honesty and ownership from an employee of a company. 

I told him my mother deserved better food, and he deserved better treatment than how I spoke to him.

I apologized and let him know how much I respected the way he handled this situation. 

I am moving my mom out of that facility. However, that situation got me thinking. 

How many times have I put my foot in my mouth?

It reminded me that even at this age, I still have so much to work on. 

My wife gave me all of her thoughts on this situation when we drove home. 😂

I’d like to hear yours as well.
