My horrible experience at a restaurant.



Recommended Posts

I am new to this app and probably don't have a place to say this, however, we all have been treated in a not so nice way before. If we all spent time complaining about companies or managers, we would not have time to take care of ourselves or our family. We all have enough stress in life and three dollars and a poor experience will not ruin my day. Stress kills. Have peace within yourself and never go back there again if you choose.

Blessings for a nice night!

I appreciate your input. I am getting my story out to help others avoid this kind of behavior from people, and also to help them see that they deserve to have a voice against bullying from companies. I am not stressed over this. I am just showing what happened.

You have a great night too! :)

Everything got quiet after those comments. But after the restaurant's ratings went from a 4.7 to a 4.3, the owner had her friends and family send reviews to up her ratings again. Her ratings only went up to 4.4, but quickly went back to a 4.3 (I'm guessing after more people saw how badly she was handling my review).

The manager should have answered your question about your bill politely. They have every right to charge it since it was listed on the menu; however, the server should have informed you when you placed your order. Perhaps she forgot to or figured you read it on the menu.

The manager could have used this situation as a learning experience for all. He would have seen that you thought it was for them literally splitting the burger. He could have explained to you it was for overhead costs and explained to his staff to inform the customer at the time of ordering to avoid confusion in the future.

I get that it wasn't about the fee but the attitude of the manager. It amazes me how rude people can be to someone they've never even met. It says more about them than you.

I've never written a bad review but whenever I get exceptional service I always inform the manager, send an email/tweet, or provide positive feedback on the survey.

I generally remind myself that the person being rude to me might be having a really bad day. With that said if it is over the top repeated rudeness I'm apt to say something.

@@PrettyThick1 where can you get a Bariatric Patient card? For your doctor? I didn't know that was a thing. I'd love to be able to order off of the kids menu haha

I got mine when I had my procedure, wherever you get your fills done should have them just ask. I think every patient should get it automatically in their goody bag.

Do you have the Bariatric Patient card? If not, you should get one and keep it with you whenever you dine out. I've never been told I can't order from the kids menu or pay the kids price at a buffet.

old country buffet would not except this. Nor would they let me sit there with my family without paying the full adult price. Rediculous I wrote the company and am waiting on a reply.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
