I am really old enough that I complain if I am not being served promptly and nothing usually happens after that, so I wait 10 minutes and then leave the establishment. Listen to me....sound like I go out to eat all the time. Just the opposite is true. But, maybe there was not another place to go in that village. Is it a tourist town? Last year on September 9 in Denver, we experienced a foot of wet snow and ice. Today, the temps will be about 36C.

Different perspectives/different understandings, eh? <br />Phoebe is adorable and looks at her mother like she is her world. Which is exactly how it should be at this stage of the game. <br />Having worked in restaurants, I can tell you that the server was probably as anxious about your meal getting out as you were. Things happen in the kitchen that servers have no control over and it can be horribly frustrating for everyone.

You answered that question.<br /><br />We've had the same restaurant experience a time or two when in a larger group. I think it has to do with trying to get all the food ready to come out at the same time takes longer than tables with only a couple diners. When we had our cranky babies at restaurants, we either brought our own food or asked for crackers while waiting for the food. We also always encouraged the waitress to bring the kids food first if possible.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-53753898011660606892021-09-09T09:21:20.289+01:002021-09-09T09:21:20.289+01:00Librarian has beaten me to it!

It's in such a beautiful spot.<br />What a pretty little place Hallaton looks- It's so annoying that your meal was spoiled by having to wait so long. These days poor service seems to be blamed on Brexit or Covid, or both, depending upon where you are!Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-14218478177802494442021-09-09T08:49:51.439+01:002021-09-09T08:49:51.439+01:00Another lovely day.

Very special!<br />And of course, that photo of Frances and Phoebe is wonderful, two lovely ladies sharing a laugh :-)<br />Sorry you had to wait for your food so long. Was there any apology, or a reason given? It reminds me of an afternoon I spent in Knaresborough with my niece. We just wanted sandwiches and a drink at a café before exploring, so as not to lose too much time before catching the next-to-last bus back to Ripon. Our drinks were brought promptly, but no sandwiches... after almost an hour, I went up to the counter and asked; it turned out they had completely forgotten about that part of our order! After profusely apologising, a set of sarnies was quickly rustled up for us; we practically inhaled them and then had about 45 minutes left before having to go to the bus stop.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-61046157044318940502021-09-09T03:08:48.548+01:002021-09-09T03:08:48.548+01:00Did they offer a reason for the wait?
