So here's what happened:
Saturday night, a friend and I went out to dinner. I'd been craving a meal and wine from this establishment for a long time.
We were
seated promptly. We made emphatically enthusiastic decisions on what we wanted to chew and what
wine to sip. It was a toss up between two appetizers – a meat or a cheese. The
waitress recommended the cheese. Smiles all around.
Wine was
sipped slowly.
Appetizer
appetized.
Entrees
served at 10:20pm. I took a photo. It’s timestamped.
Fast
forward about 20 minutes later. Our plates were cleared. And we still had a
little bit of wine to finish. About 10 more minutes passed and I noticed our
waitress leaving. She didn’t head out for a smoke, she was gone. Her shift was
over. She didn’t close out her tabs. She didn’t bring our check. She didn’t say
a word. The other waitresses walked by our table repeatedly. They filled water
glasses of other diners and brought them dessert menus.
