Imagine this.

I didn't get to do the Peta Pizzas. Got surprised with dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. Which lead me to an interesting idea. I have only been to there once before, so what I might say will not be a direct comment on them.
Imagine you go restaurant everyone raves about. You see adds on TV with pictures of food that is to die for. After a while, you go with your wife. When you get there you are asked one question: Is this your first, second, or third time eating there? You say first, and follow your waitress as she shows to your table. Right away you notice that she happy, almost, too happy to serve you. Her smile is wider then normal and above all, somehow brighter then anyone you have seen. It leaves you and your wife perplexed, but you don't let bother you. The meal comes and it tastes just as good, even better then you both thought. You leave happy.   After a week passes, you go again, craving the food. As before, you are asked if you have eaten there. After saying yes, you are shown to a larger room then before, and see that it looks fancier and more glitzy. The your waiter is just as uncomfortably happy to serve. Again, this does not bother you. As you leave, you notice that there is no line in the receipt for tips. it's something you missed before, but again, it does not bother you.
   Another week passes and you go. All is the same only this time, except that your asked about work. They explain that by calling bosses they have gotten more business. You are shown to an even BIGGER and more glitzy room. It is brimmed with gold and metals all around. You almost wonder if you can afford the good food. You eat fast, tasting a flavor unlike all others. After finishing you wait for the check. Your waiter is nowhere to be found. No one comes by. You are about to get up when the manager comes by.
    "Was everything good?" he asks.
     "YES!" you both say, content.
   "Well, then..come on by tomorrow! It's on US!" Your happy and pay and go.
As you reach the restaurant the next day, you notice that the name has changed, the design and look is different, and ALL the workers are wearing a deep blue instead of the usual white! In fact, all the waiters look new. Not one of them looks familiar to you. You order and eat. Only this time....something happens. Before you can savor that last bite, you wake up in a strange room. You wonder why.
