"Yesterday was one of the better days weatherwise for Toronto and some friends and I decided to hit up the Sky Yard which is a patio lounge at The Drake Hotel. We walked upstairs and seated ourselves and this waitress with some ugly acid wash shorts who was too hip for her own good half heartedly gave us some menus. My friend proceeded to ask her if we could have another chair to which she said \"Ummmm if you can find one...\". Funny because not even TWO seconds later we saw her with some restaurant staff lifting an ENTIRE table and moving it to accomodate other patrons. She came by to ask if we wanted drinks to start with and we told her we were waiting for a couple more people to join. Even the worst of servers in such situations would ask you if you wanted some water to start with but this one was over it. I am not sure if it was because we were the youngest people at the joint? But in my defense I never got the memo that 23 was the new 13....\n\nOur other friends arrived 10 minutes later but our designated server was not into her job clearly as we sat there for about 25 minutes with not so much as a are you guys ready to order now. The final straw that broke my back was when she walked inches away from me and I in the politest possible manner said \"excuse me\" which was duly ignored.... I've seen crack addicts in Toronto begging for money get more considerate attention from passers by. My friends and I decided to leave at that point and we walked over to the Gladstone hotel where we had the most delicious meal and the most delightful waiting staff... our server even did a halfsies with salad and fries as a side for my friends burger order.... wicked!!\n\nSad truth is that our group of 6 something friends were starving, down to feast with some drinks and we were not messing around. Rest assured I am over the Sky Yard like I was over platform sneakers when the Spice Girls split."^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ . "1"^^ . . "5"^^ . . "2011-05-01T00:00:00"^^ .
