But copy of receipt ran in N-S?
Chad (or Betty, really), I'm confused by Jordan's explanation that the "lobster to go" aspect of the N-S story was just her own embellishment told to friends.
When I read that, I reached for my July 13 N-S, still here in the house, to double-check my recollection. Yeah, that Regas receipt, complete with date, time, and itemized charges (as well as a notation as to the skimpy tip left) appeared as a photocopy on the front page.
It sure looks to me like the receipt tape details four lobster tails, total. What gives?
Two per meal equals four?

Chad is correct. Two tails
Chad is correct.
Two tails per meal.
Two more orders would have run the price up to nearly $400.
Do tell
"Plus, he knew down the road that he’d need me.”
For what? fashion advice? Surely not for wholesale vote procurement. Isn't there something unamerican about that?

Single lunch @ $75.95?
So, you mean a *single* lobster tail lunch, which includes two tails, runs $75.95, plus tax and tip?
Wow. I see how the tape can be read that way, I just didn't know it was possible to buy that expensive a lunch here in Knoxvillle...

I just called Regas. One lobster tale, 9 oz. goes for $48.95. Two tails, 18 oz. goes for $77.05.
I love lobster, but 18 oz is alotta lobsta.

You know, a company (Regas) hasn't gotten this much unanticipated publicity since Tim Burchett sold mulch by the interstate... If I owned a used car lot, I'd be giving away a free lobster with every car purchase. Think of all the marketing possibilities...

I hope for his sake somebody needs him. (Maybe somebody needin' an uhl filter. EDIT: Maybe he just sells an uhl filter within a package that includes a whole set of tahrs, but I would not buy a used car or anything else from him.)
Knox County definitely does not.
