I told my kids I would take them out to dinner tonight. It was just the three of us so I let them pick. They wanted to go to the “fat boy holding a hamburger” place a.k.a. Big Boys. I was less than thrilled, but hey I told them they could pick.
Within 5 minutes of sitting in our booth, I should have known dinner was going to be a disaster, but I was a glutton for punishment and stayed. The waitress set Zachary’s styrofoam cup down and he immediately stabbed it with a fork, sending a spray of root beer across the table. WTH possessed him to do that??? I asked the waitress for napkins and to bring him a water. She actually had the audacity to say “you’re gonna let him have more after he did that?” Um…is it your business? Just bring the damn napkins and water.
I take a sip of my Diet Pepsi and it was nasty. It tasted like all the pops were mixed together. I told her that it tasted weird. Rather than take the gross pop away and ask me what I would like, she turned around and went back to the counter to bring me another Diet Pepsi. Of course that one tasted the same way. I then asked her for a water and she brought me that, but still left the two nasty pops on the table. I had to ask her to take the other two pops away. Seriously, did she think I wanted them after telling her they tasted weird?
As if that wasn’t enough, she brings our food and it looked like there was just half a scrambled egg white on his plate. I would have been mortified, as a server, to give that to my customer. Then when I cut his pancakes, they were raw in the center. Raw, sticky dough. I asked for the manager and she told me that she stepped out for a minute. And here’s the kicker. She said “would you like new pancakes or are those fine”?
I was about to lose it by this time. I wanted to respond with “yea dumbass, I want to feed my child raw pancakes”. Let me tell you, her tip was gone by this time. In fact, on the tip line I wrote “get a new job”. Stupid? Maybe. But maybe when her manager sees it, when she “steps back in”, she’ll take a long look at her dumbass employees.
Holey crapolni!
Did you still have to pay for that meal?? I would of asked for a manger until I got someone more senior than the ditz that waited on you! Great tip 😉 will have to remember that one. normally if it is a food quality thing I will still tip, but this server seemed so indifferent , maybe she also cooked it? write a letter to Big boy himself… Fail !
