"0"^^ . "My wife and I were heading to Sweet Tomatoes when she mentioned that she would like to try Lo-Lo's. No time like the present, so we went there with kind of high expectations.\n\nThings did not start well from the moment we walked in. It was about 3:30 PM and the place was clearly not very busy. We stood by the cashier's station with the sign to wait to be seated. And we stood there, and we stood there. Finally a young woman showed up and said she wasn't clocked in yet, but she would seat us and she did. She discovered that the cleared table wasn't wiped off. She got a cloth and wiped the table clean. She repeated that she wasn't on the clock yet, but someone would take care of us. That was the last service we got.\n\nThe room we were in had two other booths and one table occupied and one waiter who appeared to be responsible for the one table only, for he doted over that table, but never offered any service to anyone else. Another party was leaving as we entered.\n\nAs we were viewing the menu, a second young lady came to take our drink order. We each ordered tea and like magic, the waitress disappeared never to be seen again.\n\nWe settled on what we wanted using menus that apparently had never been wiped off and were sticky and waited for the teas and waitress to arrive. In the interim, another party of 4 was seated at a table. They were waited on by another waitress and received their drinks in short order.\n\nAnd we waited, and we waited. The music was so loud that it was difficult to talk across the table and various employees would wander about with no apparent purpose, some even coming to the room entrance only to turn around and disappear and some wandered through the room as if lost. And we waited while employees appeared to play musical chairs through the room. It appeared to me that the employee's acted as if they were in a social club rather than a place of employment . . . you know, where you work for your employer.\n\nFinally, we left in disgust. The woman cleaning the glass on the front door wished us a good day as we left. Her efforts would have been more profitable if she had she been waiting on customers.\n\nWe would have complained to management, but it was clear there wasn't any.\n\nIt seems clear that Lo-Lo's doesn't understand who is their competition. We walked across the parking lot to Sweet Tomatoes to eat a very pleasant lunch where the music wasn't blasting, everything was clean and the two of us ate for the price Lo-Lo's wanted for either one of us.\n\nTime wasted, lesson learned. We won't be trying Lo-Lo's again."^^ . . "0"^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . . "2017-08-06T00:00:00"^^ . .
