Just recently I was surprised when, after a fantastic meal and dessert, a limo pulled up in front of the restaurant and we were told to pile in. The real surprise was a bottle of '89 Dom that just had it cork popped. I wasn't about to balk at the glassware. And plastic would've been downright sacrilegious.
Jeffrey, you're living large there in the Emerald City. Good to hear you're taking in the finer things of life, and I agree, given the choice, even glassware of unknown cleanliness is a must for the Dom.
Hiring a Limousine as wedding transport is becoming an increasing popular choice for new married couples, according to empirical research from a leading national think-tank. The survey conducted showed that whilst couples are generally spending more on their weddings than ten years ago, value for money is also becoming more of an issue with couples looking to make their day as memorable as possible.
I just took over a limousine service and I can tell you that the washing of the glassware before us was less than stellar. We've since installed a dishwasher and EVERY glass is removed from the vehicle as it returns and washed FULL CYCLE and returned to the car with a fresh napkin. NO EXCEPTIONS.

just like how they wash them in every hotel!
have you ever seen any glass get taken out to the tray outside??
I don't want to know. Thanks for the tip, Wombie.
In the toilet sink?
Great! Just enough words to scare the sh** out of us all. Lovely post.
thank you, sugar! (not that i use a limo service, but just in case)
but if i ever do, it will be you! ;-)
And I thought you were such an altruist, Wombat...
Spit Shine!
i had a job once doing that... it was fun. Worked for peanuts though.
Skinny, that's right. You win the prize for pointing out another awful hospitality fact.
Smile.
Nitebyrd, later, I'll show you a photo of where the glasses are 'cleaned'.
Horrific.
Haha, VI, close, but not quite.
Sorry, Don, but I did give you a workaround the problem. BYO glasses, my friend.
Savannah, it would be such an honour to look after you. I'd even wear my best three-piece suit. In summer. There is no greater compliment!
IP, I am an altruist. It's Harry who won't spring for the sanitary facilities.
Well, Lakota, a spit shine eh? You're all class, girl. And you would fit in to Harry's place just fine.
Rinsed if you're lucky, you say? Even when drunk out of by that icky person with the mouth so foul sewer gas comes out? Joy.
*gag*
Whoops.

DarkNeuro, I'm sorry, but it is the truth.
*chortling at sewer gas*
...is right, Girl.

Colour me envious. '89 Dom. Excellent.
Ha! I'm more likely to be found in a grubby taxi-cab after vodka drinks or light beer. Alone, I might add!
I was just lucky enough to be tagging along with the bottle's custodian that evening.
And, yes, it was excellent my friend!
The best friends to have are those with access to vintage shampoo and limousines, Jeffrey.
My life seems to have followed the same path as yours.

I don't know about other limo services....
...but I work for one and I say for a FACT that EVRYTIME a glass is used, it is ran through an industrial dishwasher at the cafe next door to us.
