This is obviously a subject that really hits home for a lot of people. I already placed a call to the GM but so far haven’t been able to share my story. I don’t want it to negatively effect the waitress since I do know that some of it was beyond her control, but like you said when you walk out feeling impressed with how a difficult evening was handled it’s a totally different experience than I had.

The manager should have been called over before you left. 98% of managers react positively and want your business! As long as they can tell you are sincere and in this case they would have realized this girl is either new or just not their best worker. We have ALWAYS either taken off meals, giving a gift cert..- you can still go back there this week and ask for manager – Also a few weeks ago I was at restaurant I had never been…ordered battered fish fry. The batter was pretty soggy/gross and our girl never came around! In the meantime i was picking off the batter and eating the fish part(starving)…lol and had a pile of stuff on my dish. The manager was walking around asking how things were…she saw my plate and apologized immediately…took my meal OFF my bill AND gave me a gift cert for next visit! I was impressed!!

I think us “Chatty Cathy’s” are the connectors and welcomers to any newcomer whether we are appointed to or not.

I spent 15 months not working – I could not begin to “pay back” my friends for all the rides after my car was repo-d, nor the showers I took in their homes when I had no hot water or heat, nor the meals that someone paid for, etc. I buy people lunch, etc., share my bounty of good food, etc.

I agree. Just do it comes to mind here. Though nice, it is not necessary to do the even payback thing. Often later you will find something you are good at and will become helpful for a friend. By the way, where might I find a copy of that chores list for teenage boys? ;)

What’s the old saying, “When you stop growing you start dying.” I guess it applies to learning how to make videos too :-) Thanks for the comment.

Great little video and it’s always nice to learn something new that we’ve never done before. It’s good for us–and VERY good for our brain. When I created my own blog from scratch using WordPress it felt like I was learning a new language! And now that it’s working and I feel pretty comfortable with it–there is so much satisfaction. How can we ever know what we are capable of if we don’t try?
