Watching my girlfriend leave my house a full day before my trip to Texas was... a little rough.

She works Thursday 1pm to 10, and won't get home til midnight, and my flight's at 6am, so I need to leave the house by 4am. So there's no safe overlappy zone there.

its my sister's birthday today and i have to eat at the macaroni grill. last time i ate there it tasted like absolute shit.

You're gonna be gone a WEEK, not six months ;)

The food at the Macaroni Grill is good here...the service is HORRIBLE...they are the slowest bunch in town.

Mike and I were at our agent's office last night and while chatting he used the word 'colored'.

I looked at Mike.
Mike looked at me.
Time passed...

While we were heading out to the car I said, 'Wow...colored, huh?'
'I'm surprised you didn't say anything.'
'You were waiting for it, huh?' Snort. 'Naw, he's old. Old people do that. Your dad did that, remember? He's old, too.'
'Yeah.'

Honestly I thought it was funny more than anything. I mean, I'm so obviously brown that it's pretty safe to say that I'm not white. He did get a look on his face like he regretted saying it as soon as he said it. He is old though. God bless old people.

=D

Growing up in the South, I heard the word colored used more times than I can count. And I still hear it even now. It'll be a long time before that totally phases out, if it ever does.

well it didn't taste like absolute shit but why the hell would i eat @ macaroni grill when i can get italian food 100000x better 5mins away @ olive garden.

their bread appetizer didn't have shit on the olive garden garlic bread sticks

Did you get balsamic vinegar, and olive oil to dip the bread in?? I like the bread sticks at Olive Garden, and in truth I like their big salad/house dressing, and over all the food better, but the freshly baked loaves of bread at Macaroni Grill, with the dipping sauce is awesome!

it was weak =/ wont ever go there again until someone else decidees to have a birthday dinner there.

I like Carrabbas for chain Italian. Olive Garden got blacklisted for poor service and Macaroni Grill was abolished for repeated bad food experiences. So actually I'm not sure what that leaves (other than a nice variety of independent restaurants). Carrabbas has a smallish menu but the food is good quality and we've had good experiences with the service.

the olive garden here has amazing service. but then again i've become a regular, and everyone knows I prefer a booth and sweet tea and extra breadsticks... ;)

i guess one thing memphis does has going for it is its food service reps. i rarely have a *bad* waiter/waitress. I'm a difficult customer cause I can't ever just order something on the menu. and if the sweet tea isn't sweet, I will be demanding a fresh batch, or something else. lol

Yeah, customer service around here is notoriously rude, but you do get people who really -really- want to prove the stereotype wrong and they can be just as annoying.

I don't feel like I'm difficult. The one thing that may make me a little more high maintenance than your average customer is that I like my drink refreshed pretty regularly and I don't like being rushed away from my table. Other than that, my standards are pretty basic - don't be snotty, don't fuck up my order and if you do make a mistake, fix it quickly, and don't make sexual comments to me. In front of my family. And my in laws. God.

It takes a lot to make my blacklist or even cut down my tip - you have to really be fucking up to get under 20 percent. I did blacklist Applebees after the first time going there because the food and the service were just complete and total ass, but I'm usually willing to give things another chance.

I'm either a great tipper or a shitty customer - just depends on how fast I get my food, if it's correct and if the water is a shit ball. I hate waiting. The longer I wait for my food, the lower the tip will be. God help them if it's late AND wrong. I've tipped as much as 30% for great service though.

Customer service and wait time in Alaska is unreal. Not only are you paying 15% more for your food, you're waiting AT LEAST 30 mins to get it. I'm not sure why, but when we'd come home for vacation we'd giggly over 1) how cheap it was and 2) how quickly we received our food. However, being home hasn't rekindled my love affair with Olive Garden. Last year august when we flew back for vacation I fell out of love for them. We've eaten there maybe once or twice since being back (April). =/

i haven't eaten at fridays for about 2 months.

but mostly because when i do go out to eat all i want is olive garden lol. i've been meaning to go visit the homies @ fridays but the garlic breadsticks... aahhh.

I start tipping at $5 and it drops from there. I had one dick waitress @ o'charleys. she was standing about 5ft from my table, talking with a newly seated group for 10 fucking minutes. at the 5min mark, i started tapping my credit card on the table. she never once looked my direction. ( she had already givin me the ticket ) finally after 5mins she looks at me and says "YEAH I HEAR YOU". i was so. flaming. pissed. i should've just walked out and not paid. but bitch did not get a single fuckin penny for a tip.

i can't sit here and pay based on % of the bill.

I can eat @ perkins for $18, or outback for $40. i eat the same amount of food and the waitress does the same amount of work. just because they're serving me oversized overpriced meals don't mean im about to adhere to a standard of paying a % of the bill lol

<3 Perkins. Wish they had a Perkins around here. We like Bob Evans for cheap tasty breakfast, and Eggspectations for something a little nicer.

I'm trying to remember the crappy assed chain we went to recently...I think we went there twice, once for dinner and once for brunch, and it sucked a lot both times. Served some butchery of cajun food.

The Zuppa Toscana (spelling?) at Olive Garden is one of my favorite "soups" ever. I always get it instead of the salad. It's a shame because I hear how good the salad is, but I can't pass up the Zuppa.
