Gotta hand it to Outback for their consistency in that I can always count on terrible service.
Every time I come, I order the same salad, usually from to-go because it's on my way home from work. Nine times out of ten, the salad is wrong. The only thing I customize is asking that they hold the tomatoes. I have gotten the wrong ingredients, lack of ingredients, the wrong salad, someone else's meal or disgusting old leaves that looked like they'd been outside in our recentish heat wave for a few hours.
Yes, it is my fault because I kept returning, but I guess I try to believe places can change. And I love the dressing on this salad and cannot duplicate it to save my life. Outback gets an extra star from me for that dressing. When they remember to put it in the bag, it's truly amazing.
We all know what hope springs eternal though.
