Pete

Pete is the owner of Pete's Diner and is about twenty or thirty years older than Amelia Bedelia. As a child, Amelia Bedelia worked for him, but he fired her after she took the instructions "Make me a cherry pie. Step on it" too literally. She did apologize and was forgiven. He has a sign saying "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT" Someone, probably himself, underlined "ALWAYS" in red.
