Broken Dishes Joe owned a few businesses in Penfield, and he was a thoughtful business owner. The windows of his art gallery were made of special glass that protected the art from sun damage. And he bought a new delivery van for his flower shop when the old one kept breaking down, because no one should receive withered flowers.
He was especially proud on the day his restaurant opened. A restaurant was a brand-new venture for Joe. He'd picked out beautiful plates and glasses. They were costly, but he wanted to give his customers the best dining experience he could.
He was thrilled when the restaurant filled up for lunch, but disheartened when he heard a glass break in the kitchen.
"Please be more careful," he told the dishwasher.
Not much later, a child shattered a plate on the dining room floor. After that, a man waved Joe to his table, where he pointed out a chip in the rim of his water glass. It would have to be thrown away.
In the kitchen that night, Joe counted the remaining plates and glasses.
"Owning this place is going to cost a lot more than I thought," he told the chef.
"You know, there's a restaurant supply store in Ridgemont. It sells dishes and glassware, and you buy them in bulk, so they're cheap," the chef said.
"Good point," said Joe. "In this business, sooner or later everything breaks."
That weekend, Joe and his chef drove to the store in Ridgemont.
The next day, Joe watched contentedly as the restaurant fill up again. When a server dropped one of the new plates, Joe didn't get upset. A new one was taken from a large box, where there were plenty more replacements at the ready.
