My DH and I have gotten better in our later years about complaining, and have even walked out of one restaurant before the very late order ever came. We're getting better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973602.post-1165943099081661762006-12-12T12:04:00.000-05:002006-12-12T12:04:00.000-05:00You would not believe how many dipship hairbrained...You would not believe how many dipship hairbrained policies young, inexperienced Restaurant "Managers" can come up with like that... the servers can spot 'em in a minute.

The manager, apparently, looking for every penny he could bring in during his shift to boost the bottom line.<BR/><BR/>An interesting thing about <I>"talking to the manager"</I>...at so many places whoever happens to be the manager "on the floor" or for that "shift" or whatever other technicalities come into play people tend to want to say they <I>are the manager</I> so you don't talk to the person who is their boss.<BR/><BR/>I agree that being a regular can be a benefit in terms of service...which is a good thing in a way...and a really bad thing in another.Kilroy_60https://www.blogger.com/profile/13915666123073934585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32973602.post-1165843465850513772006-12-11T08:24:00.000-05:002006-12-11T08:24:00.000-05:00Nice story.
