Kimono Sushi - Hastings & Granville
The early bird catches the worm, or so they say. Dropped by Kimono Sushi, grabbed the end seat on the counter and requested to change the medium screen TV to ROB-tv. They handed me the remote. I pressed channel 58. Gold at $624! Wow! Oil at $71!
Another guy comes in and requests TSN soccer. The Vietnamese maitre'd starts changing the channel then realizes that I was there first, so he tells the new guy that I had made my request first and would have to wait. The new guy then requests a channel change after 10 minutes. I'm thinking too bad - I 'm going to watch a complete ticker cycle, no matter how long that took.
After ordering the Seafood don buri for $9-ish, the maitre'd tells me to change the channel in 10 minutes. What gall! I'm thoroughly pissed. I guess it's a guy thing, a territorial thing - whoever has the remote is king. I realized that maybe I shouldn't control the remote like when we were kids in front of the tv but I don't know, shouldn't the early bird get the worm (in this case, the major chunk of TV time?)
The food, oh yeah, was okay. This is a Vietnamese-run Japanese sushi restaurant, after all.
