Judy, my friend, sent me this clipping.
The Washingtonian’s Jessica Sidman published an article today in which Trump Hotel employees recount their experiences waiting on the former president and his allies. The best details were the "Standard Operating Procedure" guidelines by which employees had to abide whenever The Donald stopped in to dine at his perennially reserved table. First the mythical Diet Coke button, now this:
Directions for pouring the soda were detailed in a process no fewer than seven steps long—and illustrated with four photo exhibits. The beverage had to be opened in front of the germophobe commander in chief, “never beforehand.” The server was to hold a longneck-bottle opener by the lower third of the handle in one hand and the Diet Coke, also by the lower third, in the other. Once poured, the drink had to be placed at the President’s right-hand side. “Repeat until POTUS departs.”
And forget standard-issue ketchup packets:
The manual instructed the server to open mini glass bottles of Heinz ketchup in front of Trump, taking care to ensure he could hear the seal make the “pop” sound.
But the fine-dining menu wasn't enough to satiate the president:
A tray of junk food needed to be available for every Trump visit: Lay’s potato chips (specifically, sour cream and onion), Milky Way, Snickers, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Tic Tacs, gummy bears, Chips Ahoy, Oreos, Nutter Butters, Tootsie Rolls, chocolate-covered raisins, and Pop-Secret.
The best part? Trump orders his steak well done.
