From the last day-ish …
You’re right to be pissed. That’s one of my pet peeves. It happens a lot these days. I’ve taken to telling the server I’ll be ordering in courses. First a drink, then when that’s half gone, I order my salad or app. Then when that’s almost gone, I order the main course. Sure, that builds in some wasted time, but I’d rather have that than an entree getting cold while I’m still working on the salad or app.
I suspect the computers are scoring the kitchen on how fast the ordered food gets out, so unless the server inserts a delay, they’re rushing to feed you. Ordering in stages gives me control of the delays since I don’t really trust the servers to do so reliably.
Oh yeah … and Hooray for shiny new wheels!
Ouch! How’re you doing now, besides grouchy and irritable like usual?
