Family dinner night at our favorite fish restaurant. Of course I started off inhaling the FREE hush puppies they give you when you arrive. It was quite busy last night for a Tuesday.
Our server I don't remember her name, but the entire time she seemed a bit jumpy and flustered. I'm not sure if it was her first day or what but she wasn't getting anything right.
I ordered the 2 fried platter and chose salt and pepper flounder with baby shrimp and a baked potato. Great portion size for me and I even had plenty left over for the next day.
As we all prepared to pay, our server had forgotten or didn't properly write down what everyones ordered. We provided her with this information, then along with our choice of payment. When she came back she was unsure who's order was which. She had our table mixed with another table she was serving. Once she had everything corrected, my parents noticed the senior discount wasn't applied so she had to find a manager to take care of that. After an additional 15minutes of waiting she returns with our sign copies and some how misplaced my parents debit card. My parents were completely fine with it because we could tell how frustrated she was with herself and upset she was getting. Again I'm not sure what was going on with her, but it unfortunately was reflecting in her work. After another 15minutes and everyone in high search for my parents card she finally found it in another check booklet.
She asked us not to tip her because of how horrible everything was but were not that type of family. We made sure she was taken care of. But I needed to share this so that Captain Steve's would be aware.
