A Mississippi restaurant was disrupted during the busiest time of the day when a wild deer decided it wanted to join the dining experience. The incident took place during the lunch rush hour, causing chaos among the patrons who were trying to enjoy their meals.
According to eye-witnesses, the deer appeared out of nowhere and ran straight into the diner where it proceeded to dart through the tables, knocking over chairs and terrifying the customers. One woman even dropped her sandwich while a group of men were forced to abandon their card game and hide under the table, which is not something you see every day.
One restaurant staff member, who was busy clearing a table, told our reporters that she thought she had seen a ghost when the deer burst through the door. “I thought it was the ghost of some long-dead hunting trophy reanimated by the vengeful spirit of nature,” she said. “But it just turned out to be a dumb animal with no regard for the sanctity of an indoor dining experience.”
The deer was finally cornered by the restaurant staff in the kitchen, where it was reportedly staring in disbelief at its own reflection in the stainless-steel appliances. Nobody knows for sure how the deer managed to get into the restaurant, but rumors are circulating that it was trying to order a salad.
It’s not uncommon for wild animals to stroll into human-made establishments in Mississippi, whether it’s a bear in a convenience store or a raccoon in a church. However, this is known to be the first time a deer has crashed a lunchtime soiree.
Thankfully, nobody was hurt during the incident, but that didn’t stop the locals from making it the talk of the town. One diner even suggested that they should add “deer sightings” to the restaurant’s lunch specials board.
Despite the disruption, the restaurant staff managed to maintain their composure and quickly cleaned up the mess left behind by the deer. However, they are now considering adding deer insurance to their existing policy, just in case another four-legged patron decides to make an appearance.
If there’s one thing we can take away from this story, it’s that you should never underestimate the unpredictable nature of animals. Who knows what creatures will venture inside our buildings next? Maybe we’ll see a possum in a movie theater or a turkey in a bank. One thing is for sure: we’ll just have to wait and see.
