No, this is not about renderosity, this is about just about everywhere else I go these days. Red Lobster, Federal Way Washington: 40 minutes between time drinks and appetizers were ordered until we got them, then our food order was taken. Appetizer was a fondue thing with dipping bread, came with 2 small pieces of bread to dip, oven is broken and more bread will come, meanwhile the 4 of us can stare at the fondue pot and 2 pieces of bread wondering who will have to wait for the rest of the bread. Dinner comes, instead of shrimp pasta, we get crab pasta, still tastes good I suppose, but it's not what we ordered. When waiter was told about mistake, he asked "what is it about the crab pasta we don't like"? Also asked for double butter and dipping sauce as we ordered dinner, never came. Total dining time, about 2.5 hours. Sheris Restaurant, Bonney Lake Washington: Ask for bread roll as soon as we sit down because my wife needs something on her stomache, tell waitress we need it right away before anything else. Dinner is served, undercooked, the roll never came, got charged for roll. Asked for leftover box, asked for new leftover box because the one we got was full of crumbs. Kentucky Fried Chicken, Covington, Washington: Girl taking order has no personality, no smile, no suggestions, her mind is somewhere else EVERY SINGLE TIME I GO THERE. One trip, no butter. Another trip, no salt or pepper. Another trip, no biscuits, NO BISCUITS!!?? By the time I got done eating, there were biscuits sitting in the food warmer. Why do I go there? Because I love Kentucky Fried Chicken Original Recipe and you can't get it anywhere else. Little Ceasars Pizza, Kent Washington: No longer in business, gee, I wonder why, after all, the pizzas were never fully cooked. Burned on the outside, chewy in the middle. Red Robin, Federal Way Washington and Kent Washington: why do you wear those earphone things? Does it help you communicate with the kitchen better? Well it sure as shit didn't help you communicate with me, the customer. You got us the wrong appetizer, there were only 2 meals ordered, when you served me and my wife asked where the other meal is, you completely denied that we ordered two meals, the people at the next table overheard us ordering and confirmed it. To make up for missing her meal, you put a rush on it, it came back raw. A raw Hamburger? Ever hear of Jack In The Box and Ecoli? Olive Garden, Federal Way Washington: Aren't you the waitress or waiter I just saw sitting out back smoking a cigarette and hawking a lugi as I drove up to park? God that is so sick! Did you wash your hands? Probably, but I still wonder, and it grosses me out. Private Phone installation service: We ordered 80 phones. We got 79 phones. What? You lost one of the phones? Yes, I know it's a 300 dollar phone? You've never lost a phone during installation before? You don't say. What? You have to pay for that lost phone out of pocket? What? Can we pay for half the cost of the phone you lost? Am I hearing you correctly? What? You want us to renew a service contract with you after a year at 100 dollars a phone? I don't think so, click... It amazed me, somebody lost our phone and wants us to pay for it. I can go on, it's not just restaurants, it's grocery stores, everywhere, there is such a total lack of courtesy and common sense. I suppose that some people can argue that they only make minimum wage and have to share tips bla bla bla.. but does that preclude a person from being a decent human being and doing your best? Maybe you'll move up instead of sideways through life if you do your best at your job. NYAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
