| - Won't be going back. Each time we go, no matter the location, we have had issues the last 4 times. They are very slow at bringing out the food. But usually the regular location we go to in Avon at least knows what the table ordered. And apologizes. Today we waited 30 minutes for our food. And then when it came out, it was wrong. I ordered scrambled eggs and a slice of ham. I get fried eggs and bacon. All locations seem to have issues with the waitresses having to be impressed into service in the kitchen cooking. This location was no different. And you could hear them yelling and bickering in the back. They finally got our correct orders out to us. We ate our meals, and the waitress came and asked if the little one would like another lemonade. The response was yes, please. It never came. My husband had to flag down another waitress and give her his card saying we had been waiting for the check for a very long time and we really needed to go. And still......no lemonade. The waitress goes back and shouts I have a credit card here for someones food. Um hello! Would it not be more professional to say I have the card for table#.........quietly instead of shouting out like a fishwife? And then while she is back screaming for our waitress, she herself shows up at the table, no lemonade, and asks if everything is ok. My husband told her no, it isn't. And our card is back there, can we please pay so we can leave. She did knock $5 off our check for the "inconvenience". But seriously.......
I don't know if you like your job or not. Not all of us are fortunate to actually like what we do. But if accept that job, you need to do it to the best of your ability and take some pride in it. You are my waitress. remember what I ordered, check it against what you wrote down if you must. But be accurate. And be prompt and attentive. I don't expect you to stand by and wipe my chin with a napkin. But I do expect you to check on us once in a while. And if you promise my little one you will be right back with her lemonade, then you had damn well better be back with her lemonade. For your information, the only reason we go to IHOP is because SHE likes it there. We don't care for it so much. We'd rather go to Blue Sky or Dennys, or even Cracker Barrel. So when you snub and lie to the only reason we are there in the first place, well it's the last time we go.
Just an FYI, we still tipped. Nowhere near as much as she would have received had she actually done her job and at least remembered her table's order.
