I am currently sitting at Steak and Shake at 10:16 on a Saturday night. There is a sign on the door saying they will be closing early due to a shortage of staff. I, along with some friends, waited for 5 minutes to be seated. Half the restaurant was vacant, yet they still had trouble seating me. After waiting to be seated, we waited upwards of 15 minutes for our first encounter with our waiter, and the encounter was distasteful to say the least. To start, I had to flag him down from across the establishment multiple times. He was impolite during our encounter, and he failed to execute the duties of an amateur waiter. Although I realize I am in a fast food establishment on a bad night, I at least would expect a polite and sorrowful waiter with the irrational wait for a supposedly fast food restaurant.
