Dh, ds, and I decided to go to the next town and eat out last night at our favorite place. I've never had a experience like this before.
Waitress came to the table and took our drink orders. She mentions that she is so tired and still had 2 hours before she could leave. When she brought the drinks back, she spilled one across the table. Thank heavens it didn't go in anyone's lap. She brought back napkins to wipe up the spill and practically handed them to us to clean the mess up. Ok, finally got that cleaned up and we noticed that the silverware had gotten wet, so she took them and told us that she would bring us some new ones.
Ds starts to put sugar in his tea and we notice that there were no teaspoons in the tea. Waitress didn't come back for a long time, so ds used a straw to mix sugar in his tea.
She brings ds his salad, set is down and quickly walks off. There's still no silverware so ds just has to wait until waitress walks by so we can ask for our silverware. That takes about 15 minutes. She finally brings it, ds opens his up and there is crusty stuff on his fork. I give him my clean one and wait for waitess to walk by again. Our waitress never does. Another waitress brings our plates, so I tell her about the fork and ask for a clean one. She comes back about 5 minutes later and finally we can all start eating.
Everything goes pretty good until I want some more tea. When waitress comes back to ask if everything is Ok and if we want dessert, I tell her that I would like some more tea and we wanted 2 desserts. She walks off and I wait and wait. I see her coming back with a glass of tea and she walks right by our table and puts it at another table. About now, I am getting really mad, but I figure she must be new and decide to not make a fuss about it. Dessets finally come so I mention the tea. She walks off to get the tea...then we notice that she didn't put spoons in the dessert glasses...which was a brownie, ice cream, and whipped topping (really needed a spoon). We have to wait again for her to come by to ask for spoons. She comes back with the tea, and I watched her as she set it down. She almost spilled that glass too. She set it down on the edge of the glass and barely kept it from going over.
I'm not one to make a fuss in public, but even I was about to explode. I didn't want to give a tip, but dh insisted. He feels sorry for people who have to do that job for a living.
I'm thinking she will not have her job very long there.
