Out of place

Today, I was asked out by a friend of mine. He's a doctor and works at a prestigious hospital, so thinking we would eat somewhere special, I got all dressed up. We ended up eating at his hospital's cafeteria, because he gets a small employee discount. FML

Well you might think he would take you somewhere special, but just because he didn't doesn't make him a bad person. There won't be fancy dining and wining all the time. Is he a resident on a smaller salary or fully licensed already? Maybe the man had to be on call later so he couldn't put all the juice into it he wanted to. You never know.

I'm sure he has a shitload of medical school student loans to pay off.

At least you got a date. I'd kill for one of those elusive things.

Fine, meet me at the hot dog window of the Costco off I-75 and I'll end your drought for $3. I figure since we are using my membership card to get in, you can pick up the tab. Sex afterwards isn't guaranteed ;)

#48, no, that's not my style. More likely, once you meet me and end your dating drought, you'll wonder why you wanted it to end. At Costco, you can season your hot dog with the perfect amounts of mustard, relish and disappointment.

Call any sales organization and ask to speak to a sales rep and ask them about Dr.'s. they are the cheapest SOB's on the planet. Followed closely by lawyers.

What in the name of Gregory House are you talking about? The doctors I know are the most giving, generous, philanthropic people you'd ever met. That's my nice way of saying "**** you, ********. You have no ******* idea what you're talking about."

At first, I kind of thought you expected too much and YDI for being upset about a cheap dinner. But after re-reading it, the part where you said you got all dressed up--I could imagine that would be slightly embarrassing to be over-dressed for something so simple. Still, I'd give the guy a break, I'm sure there are plenty of reasons he chose the cafeteria aside from just the employee discount.

YDI for assuming. If you're gonna date a doc, better learn to roll with the unexpected.

Some of the people who make the most money are also the cheapest. They know how to keep their money in their pockets. Unlike....

Everyone stop cussing the doctor! It was nice if him to take OP out. It might not have been fancy but maybe he was still on call and had to remain within the hospital!

Why do midgets get discounts? That's racism against tall and normal-height employees! Outrageous! Egregious! Preposterous!
