> [@Shodan](#): > > We took the Lovely and Talented Mrs. **Shodan** out for Mother’s Day, to a new restaurant. My food was over cooked, I asked about a beer on the menu and the server gave a completely non-sequitur answer, my daughter never did get any silverware, and then the server disappeared and never returned. My son tracked down the manager and asked for a box for our leftovers. Nothing. I went and asked - he treated it as if it were a complete novelty. It was my son’s treat, so he decided on the tip, but I suspect it close to zero. > > This was four o’clock in the afternoon, and the place was not exactly packed. I doubt we will be back. > > Regards, > Shodan Maybe you failed to give anyone your regards.
