Yelp never tells you "I don't have time for this"

haha another person not engaging w/ the barking dog only this one paused enough to remember she's a fucking doctor and not a walmart cashier and she doesn't have to coddle some lunatic.

I recently went to a retail establishment that overworks and underpays its employees so drastically that many of them are on food stamps and qualify for Medicaid despite working full time at a job where their every move is videotaped and they are criticized if they do not perform like trained seals. One of these employees, a checker named Samantha, who had been up all night with a sick child and had spent her only break time that shift eating a bag of stale chips from a vending machine acted like a zombie when I asked her to please put every item I purchased into a separate bag and then all those bags into its own bag. She didn't even smile and thank me. I called the manager over to explain her rudeness and he seemed not to upbraid Samantha without much enthusiasm. Consequently, this mega corporation will no longer see me as a customer, as I intend to act like a complete asshole at a different mega corporation's stores from now on. Unless, of course, the first store finds a way to offer me a lower price, by demanding unpaid overtime from its employees or something like that.

I've been coming here since I was born (24 years). The food is great and it is cheap. I always order the waffle fries with cheese for an app and the for myself, a special salad and rigatoni with meatballs.

It is very dated inside and is cash only, but don't let that stop you from coming. The owner Tina still waitress's and is a wonderful lay.

Hey, sometimes people that are YELPed about are scumbags!

So earlier this afternoon I was having lunch with my mother at a semi-fancy local restaurant. In the middle of our lunch, an older gentleman came by to take a look at my twins (who are 10 months old, and pretty cute if I say so myself). After 5 minutes of polite conversation, this guy proceeded to pull up a chair and sit next to us, exclaiming that his "lunch party was arriving a bit late." I thought it was a little presumptuous for him to think we were dying to continue our polite conversation while our mussels turned cold and inedible, but thought he would get the hint and leave in a couple minutes. But no, this guy parked himself alongside us and continued to talk to us for the duration of our lunch. Not only that, but he was completely arrogant.

Maybe this is just your normal, uber-wealthy, Silicon Valley moneybags chatter, but I found it really rude: he catalogued all of his graduate degrees from various universities (including Stanford, of course), told us the number of his private jets, informed me that his daughter-in-law was a "runway model in Los Angeles" (huh? I thought Fashion Week happened in NYC), mentioned that he won some obscure literary medal, that he had 6 patents pending on various inventions, etc. etc. I was waiting for him to casually inform us that he had also picked up the Nobel Peace prize a couple years ago, but I guess that is the one accomplishment he had yet to add to his collection. I really didn't know what to do; I didn't want to be rude, but I was bored out of my mind and really dying to get back to my lukewarm moules frites.

Oh, one more thing. He was a big-time name dropper and in order to set up another marathon-length name-dropping session, mentioned he liked to read. Again, stupid polite me asked him if he had any book recommendation (what was I thinking)? He then said,

"Excuse me, let me finish please." And looked at me a bit archly.

EXCUSE ME?? He interrupted MY lunch and I couldn't really care less about his stupid book recommendations. I was just trying to be polite, unlike certain other egotistical Cessna-owning titans of industry (who didn't even offer to pay for our lunch after hijacking it).

In the end, the guy hung out with us the entire 30-odd minutes left of our lunch, we didn't finish our moules frites, the babies were cranky, and he did not leave until I asked the waitress for the check, just to escape from this guy and his blatherings on about how great he is.

TAKE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! The greeter was pleasant, the waitress was arrogant in a Eastern European kind of way, and the food - YEEUUCK!! I ordered fried flounder with augratin potatoes - the fish was NOT FRESH and greasy, the potatoes were were Old and Cold, and when I complained the waitress acted like there was something wrong with ME - BTW, my wife's potatoes were just as old and cold - my daughter ordered the Caesar's salad w chicken - she couldn't eat it! To ad insult to injury, they auto-added a tip to my ticket, i guess because we had a party of 6 although one was a baby - and the rate was 18%!!! When I complained they again acted like there was somenting wrong with me - RUN DON'T WALK from this disaster!

Searching Yelp for "arrogant" yields a cornucopia of scumbaggery.

Old and Cold

also act like "one was a baby" should subtract from your group instead of add if you want to be a real yelper

is 'bedside manner' a common term? Never heard that

it is proverbial, you have surely heard it.

It's usually about doctors, used to describe how they relate to patients as people.

"My friend soda" is such a great sounding phrase. I wish I had a friend named Soda so I could say it to people.

i noticed that when yelpers exaggerate how long they wait to be seated or get a menu they often use "45 minutes"

ⓢⓗⓘⓣ (am0n), Thursday, 10 July 2014 14:38 (nine years ago) link

Finally, the guy seemed to notice that we were sitting there and came over, almost 45 minutes after we'd been seated and tried multiple times to get someone's attention!

ⓢⓗⓘⓣ (am0n), Thursday, 10 July 2014 14:39 (nine years ago) link

Took him 10 min to get us menus, 45 min to get our food, and he didn't check up on us once between taking our order and getting our food.

The one time in life that I did wait 45 min after placing the order was at an incredibly popular breakfast place. It was an ordeal I'll not soon forget, considering we had already waited 30 min to get a table, and another 10 or so to get coffee. The point is it is a very long time to be without food at a restaurant and it almost never happens, so I would anecdotally agree that these people are full of shit.

also

"we arrived at 9pm just in time to feel being rushed to order from the menu as the kitchen closed at 930pm."

so... you arrive just before closing and you're shocked that the waiter's rushing to put your order in?

yes, everyone at a restaurant spends 4 hours taking pictures of their food and also 10 years ago ppl treated restaurants as asocial feeding troughs that exist solely for basic survival

This place is horrible. I've given it several chances because the food IS good, but they are a mess. They accidentally put unions on my sub, they called and ask me if I wanted to keep it or have another sub made. I told them another one please because I am allergic to them. When my sub was delivered, my sub was cut in places where they took the onions out. Some were still left in there. There was another time they forgot my fries, another time I paid for a whole sub to be delivered to me and they gave me a half, and when the delivery man delivers he has other people smoking in the car and he comes to my door on the phone. The place itself is open, but dirty. The man working the phones will make the food with no gloves. That is just disgusting. A phone has more germs than a toilet seat; therefore, it is SO unacceptable. I wouldn't even give this place one star. They are horrible and have now lost my service and a couple of other people who have ordered from them around here.
