3 /5 DrPfeiffer: Picture a restaurant where asking for water, or a spoon, or ketchup or hot sauce yields….an “OK” or “sure” and then…nothing. Because the waitstaff, after leaving your table, enters into a conversation with someone else, and completely forgets the request.
While your coffee grows cold (because you don’t have a spoon to stir the cream and sugar), or your meal goes uneaten (because you’re still waiting for that hot sauce or ketchup), after 2,3,4,5,6,7 minutes, you give up and go get it yourself.
This will happen repeatedly.
Not just to you.
Other people in that same section will also go unattended, to the point where you are walking *your* hot sauce over to *their* table.
I spent most of my younger years waitressing at dozens of locations, every single one of them far busier than this restaurant. All we could surmise is that the wait person, who apparently had a senior position in the restaurant, simply didn’t care.
A pity, because the food was good.
