2 hour ordeal
A two hour ordeal. Our order was initially forgotten to have been put in by our server. Ok, no big deal, mistakes happen. That was the best part of the service. The restaurant wasn't busy and we noticed that the server had ample opportunity to chat at length with a table next to us but couldn't be bothered to notice us. After an hour and five minutes we asked the manager to just charge us for our drinks and appetizer so we could go elsewhere. She asked if we would stay and that she would get our food to us in 10 minutes and because of our trouble she wanted to buy us cheesecake. We didn't want cheesecake but she insisted. Ok, I said, but we can't afford to wait for it as we're already going to be late getting our 7 year old to bed. The server, who was standing by, assured us that the cheesecake would be there waiting for us in a bag by the time we got done eating our dinner. I agreed and then we waited. After 15 minutes we still didn't have our food so we waited some more. Finally the food came and I asked for our check as the server was delivering our food. He brought it and I opened the folio immediately and placed my credit card inside so and handed it back to the server so we could eat and leave but he had already turned his back and left. We ate our meals and waited for the server to return to get the credit card and waited and waited. Finally, I had enough waiting and went to the host stand and asked for the manager by name. The hostess called the manager who told her that she currently had an armful of dishes and would be there as soon as she could. So we waited and waited and waited. She finally showed up and I asked if she would please run my credit card because we needed to go. She took the bill and ran the card and brought it back to me to sign. I did so, and for only the third time in my life left 0 tip. The cheesecake that was being forced upon us that was promised to be there in a bag by the time we were done eating still hadn't arrived. As we were leaving the server casually sauntered up and handed us a couple bags of cheesecake, most of which is still in my refrigerator at home because we simply didn't want it.
