Without it, service sucks. Adventure Dad wanted BBQ so we went to the new Lone Star BBQ joint at our brand spanking’ new Whole Foods. “Great service is our job, no tipping please” cries out the little paper on our table. Oh, how I wished we could have withheld the nonresistant tip.
We sat and waited a while to order and the waitress with NO other customers acted like that might be an issue. She waited for us to order to mention they were out of baked beans and mashed potatoes yet managed NOT to tell us they were out of macaroni and cheese until 15 minutes after we ordered while we were waiting for our food. Since we could see the serving line we knew before she did that they had just run out of the mac-n-cheese, but it was a big old deal to re-order something else. When asked what beers she had she listed “ale and pilsner” thanks. No brand name here?
Yeah, we ate and paid quickly, then came home to get more motrin for our feverish toddler.

A New Year! by Papaya Mom on January 3rd, 2005
We had a great New Year eating Cajun food at Mor Mor Bistro with friends:) The music was a bit loud and Adventure Dad felt like he was out of place without his AARP card but we had a nice time nonetheless.

Yeah, service can really make or break your dining experience. Sorry this one sucked - better luck next time!
Dude.
It sucks when they take our patron power away like that!
That is awful. If Kyle and I had been there, we would have gotten on our huffy bikes and left.
How is Maya feeling?
