have a great dislike of restaurant's right now, I have had nothing but bad luck with them the last few times.
Thursday evening we [i]had[/i] run to town and get a newly released game(Crysis) so we decided to go out for dinner, we chose Village Inn(it's like Perkins or Denny's fyi) nothing fancy just a nice meal and maybe some great pie, I ordered a chicken sammich and instead of fries I wanted soup, no problem says the waiter, but oh wait, we just sold the last bowl,
"would you like something else? like onion rings instead of fries?"
no I don't, I wanted soup because I'm cold, just give me the damn fries. Style's ordered a steak sammich, the waiter came back, no steak sammich, they neglected to prepare any meat last night, ok style's orders a hamburger instead. The food was good and after our meal was eaten we think about pie and decide we just want some crappyccinos, (you know those fake, sugary, cappuccinos that come from a machine but are still good) I ordered a Apple caramel latte, Styles ordered a Peppermint mocha, waiter comes back yet again, we are out of the peppermint mocha mix, "do you want something else?" No, no we don't, just give me my apple/caramel thingy and the damn bill. They were nice enough to only charge us for one meal and one soda, but still come on, if you are telling customers you have something and then you don't have it, that's a pretty big blunder.
Today we were in town again for some shopping and Style's decides he wants to try that steak sammich, I wasn't very hungry but I figure some soup and another latte would be ok. So we get there, order our drinks( a peppermint mocha and a pumpkin spice latte) and decide what to eat, our waitress comes back from the kitchen and informs us the drink machine is being refilled
"did you want to wait or do you want something else?"
we'll wait (if I wanted something else I would have ordered it dumb fuck) Style's orders his sammich and I ask what the soup today is...you guesses it no soup, WTF, it says on the menu [i]soup of the day[/i] it even says they have chili every day but no, today they have nothing. Sigh...I ordered pot roast, it's kinda like stew and we've had it before so I know it's good. Soon the waitress returns to tell us the machine is broken and we'll be getting no crappyccinos today either, well fuck, I guess I'll have hot coco then, oh! well.. that's the same machine, did the waitress just say "sorry screw you" to us her customers? I know it's not her fault but damn.
Well Style's was happy, he got his sammich, and I did like my pot roast but dagnabbit I wanted soup and I wanted my latte !
I think restaurant's should be forced to pay you when they don't have the thing you wish to order, it's on the menu, the drinks are even on a fancy table top display, I demand compensation!
I'm sure some of you are wondering why we even went back there, well it's a good place to eat, we eat there quite a lot and we have never had a bad experience before, plus did I mention they have great pie? anyway, I'll probably go back at some point, but not in the near future.
