1 /5 Holly Mitchell: The thin blonde waitress is a mess.
My husband met his friend for lunch one day and she served them. While my husband was in the restroom, she asked my husbands friend if my husband was single. His friend said that he was spoken for. She continued to flirt with my husband.
A few weeks later we took my mother in law there for lunch. The thin blonde was our waitress. She looked at me very strangely, in the eyes as she repeated the tables order back to us. I requested no onions on the salad ( my husband doesnt like onions). The salad came with extra onions. No big deal... I took the onions off and served my husbands salad. My mother in law ate the onions on her salad. We requested another salad. I emphasize, "this time with no onions, please". She laughed as if she did it on purpose and asked "who ate the onions?" My husband said "my mother did." She asked "who doesnt like onions?" Pointing to my husband I said "he doesnt like onions." Her face turned red with embarrassment. She brought more salad, this time without onions.
When our food came my husband requested a coke from our waitress. She acknowledged his request and never returned to our table again. We had to get the attention of another waitress to get his coke. Our waitress was behind the counter, scrolling on her on her phone. We had to go to the counter twice. Once to ask for boxes and once to ask for the check.
We had only seen this waitress in the afternoon so we decided to not go back in the lunch time hours but in the evening only, for dinner.
Last night we went back for dinner. She did not serve us. However, our server, a gentleman this time, was not great either. We ordered food. He brought us salad and did not come back and check on us. Again, we had to get the attention of another waitress to ask for more salad. Our server brought us our main course but did not come back to check on us until we were finished with our meal. We asked for a box and the check.
When it came time to pay the check, we always ask if theres a military discount, my husband is a disabled veteran. Weve never had an issue receiving a military discount at this establishment until last night. I was told by our server that they dont typically offer a military discount but he would ask his manager. He walked over to the thin blonde waitress who has failed us in the past and then went to the cash register. When he returned he said his manager would only authorize a military discount on one meal only. I found this to be strange because theyve always offered the discount to the whole check in the past, I was grateful for the discount that they did offer. I asked my server who the manager was and he pointed out the thin blonde waitress who had tried to get my husbands number in the past.
It all made sense after that...
I guess we have to find a new favorite Italian restaurant.
