Sometimes the third try isn't the charm.
I dropped by Corner Bakery around 10:30 this morning to pick up something to take with me to work. As usual, the space was charming and clean and they had someone ready and waiting to take my order.
I decided to order something I hadn't tried before and went with the Chopped Salad. I sat down to wait. And I waited. And waited. And watched a bunch of employees standing around doing nothing. And waited. And listened to the manager whine to another employee like a sad sorority girl -- right in front of me. And waited.
If it were possible to grow lettuce in 20 minutes, I would think that's what happened because I was the only one waiting for an order (there were a couple of other people there, but they already had their food).
Ugh. Seriously disappointing. And my salad was nothing to get excited about. I enjoyed my other two visits...but there is nothing I hate worse than not knowing what kind of service I'll get on my next trip. You have to be consistent to get 5-stars in my book and with so many other choices in the area, it'll be awhile before I give them another try.
