Friday morning BoyChild left Fort Knox, KY on a bus for Fort Gordon, GA.  Along the way they stopped for lunch.  The Army gives each soldier a meal voucher which they turn in to the cashier and the restaurant turns in to the Army for payment.

So the bus stopped at Pizza Hut in Greensboro GA.  They all went in and when they started to order and showed their meal vouchers the cashier had to go get the manager (understandable).  But the manager wouldnt take the meal vouchers!

So the soldiers (about 50 of them) walked (easier than moving the bus) a block and a half down to Zaxby's.  When they arrived and started ordering their food a lady (my son said about 75-80 years old) came up to them and asked where they had walked from (I guess 50 soldiers marching up to Zaxby's did create quite a sight).  One of the soldiers told her what happened and she was quite interested in that fact and started questioning the other soldiers and their commanders - and taking notes. 

Well, it just so happens that this lady was the editor of the local newspaper.

I dont think this is exactly the kind of free advertising Pizza Hut might be hoping for!
