So, last night we went out to eat at a little restaurant near us. Its a really cute place that serves burgers, fish sticks, fried chicken baskets etc etc. So I ordered a chicken finger kids meal for Lydia, and it automatically came with fries and applesauce. I really didn't want her having a whole serving of fried (like maybe 2 or 3 from my plate) so Mark specifically asked the waitress if we could substitute cottage cheese for the fries. "No Problem!" she says.
Then we waited 45 minutes for our food. They were not overly busy, and I personally think that she forgot to put our order in. But I digress. After 35 minutes, I finally asked if we could get L.'s cottage cheese because she was getting very hungry and cranky.
A few minutes later, our meals came, but L. plate was chicken and the fries I specifically did not want. So when she came to find out how everything was, I pointed out that we didn't want them. No biggie, right?? She was so snarky back, "oh, you didn't ask for a substitution! it comes with one side, so I gave you one side" Whatever. So I nicely asked if we could still get the applesauce, and that we didn't want the fries.
When the bill came, I noticed that she added on $1.50 for the applesauce. grr! We were already paying almost $6.00 for Lydia's meal, and to add on that much more was ridiculous.
So when I went up and paid, the waitress totally went off on me. She was YELLING at me. I just wanted to resolve this conflict, and she was being completely rude about it. She did end up changing the total, but then she crumpled all the receipts and threw them at me, and said sarcastically "now YOU have a very NICE NIGHT" so rude.
So we gave her a zero tip. I was fine until the 'nice night' comment.
hee hee thanks for letting me vent...maybe I can let go of it now.
