Good or Bad Waiter?


Today, I went to restaurant near cyberia with my friends. The restaurant was’t far so we could reach it just by walking. By the time I arrived, there were a plenty empty seats because it was 3 o’clock and it passed lunch time. We took a table near the television so we can watch while waiting for the food to arrive. Then a waiter came and asked us what we were going to order. Then he gave us the menu and all of us start to look at it. It was pretty confusing for me because it was the first time I ate there and I don’t which food was delicious and which food was not. Then my eyes found one food that quite interesting for me to eat. It was called Special Fried Maggie. It sound very delicious to me but I didn.t want to make a mistake. So I asked the waiter if the food was good or not. The waiter said that it was good. So, I ordered it without hesitate. After the waiter left, my friend suddenly said to me, “ are you sure that the Maggie is good?”. “well, the waiter said so”, I answered. “of course he said so, stupid. He’s the employee in here and he said that because he wants to get a profit so he can get a bonus by the end of this month.”. My friend was using Ad Hominem Circumstacial fallacy to deny that the food will be good. I didn’t know what to say. All I could do was just wait for the food to come and hoped that my friend’s opinion was wrong. A moment later, the food arrived and luckily, he was wrong.
