I
want
to
preface
by
saying
that
I
hate
leaving
negative
reviews.
I
know
how
hard
small
business
are
struggling
right
now
and
I
try
hard
to
give
the
benefit
of
the
doubt.
I
get
that
sometimes
stuff
happens
and
I
don't
believe
in
bashing
businesses,
but
what
happened
to
me
here
was
unacceptable.
I
came
here
for
breakfast
on
a
weekday
morning.
The
restaurant
was
completely
empty,
but
that
normally
doesn't
bother
me.
After
all
it
was
a
little
past
peak
season
on
a
weekday.
I
was
greeted
promptly
and
told
I
could
sit
anywhere
I
like.
(even
though
no
one
was
up
front,
the
moment
I
walked
in,
someone
came
from
the
kitchen
to
greet
me
right
away).
The
waitress
gave
me
a
menu
and
took
my
drink
order.
She
brought
my
orange
juice
and
took
my
order
of
two
huevos
con
chorizo
burritos
with
cheese
to
the
kitchen.
(I
know,
I'm
a
weird
adult
who
drinks
orange
juice.
Fun
fact
for
those
of
you
who
might
be
iron
deficient
like
me:
vitamin
c
helps
you
absorb
iron.
)
The
orange
juice
was
fermented.
I
debated
whether
I
should
cancel
my
breakfast
order
and
go
elsewhere,
however
the
next
time
I
saw
the
waitress,
she
was
bringing
me
my
order.
I
told
her
about
the
oj,
quietly
as
there
was
another
table
seated
by
then
and
I
didn't
want
to
cause
a
stir.
She
apologized
and
very
quickly
brought
me
a
fresh
glass,
which
tasted
just
fine.
The
eggs
were
good.
Had
I
known
that
the
burritos
were
so
big,
I
would
have
only
ordered
one.
I
couldn't
taste
the
chorizo,
but
I
could
see
it
was
there.
I
finished
one
burrito
and
half
of
the
other.
The
waitress
came
by
and
asked
if
I
would
like
a
container
to
take
the
leftovers.
I
declined
then
told
her
I
was
all
set.
Twenty
minutes
went
by
with
no
sign
of
the
check.
I
even
had
my
credit
card
out
on
the
table.
There
were
only
five
tables
seated
aside
from
myself,
and
two
take-out
orders
picked
up.
There
were
two
waitstaff.
The
other
waiter
asked
me
if
I
wanted
more
to
drink.
I
declined
and
told
him
that
I'd
been
waiting
20
minutes
for
my
check
and
I
didn't
understand
why
the
wait
was
so
long.
He
said
ok
and
went
on
his
way.
Another
ten
minutes
went
by.
I
texted
a
family
member
to
ask
what
I
should
do,
because
I
felt
like
I
was
being
held
hostage.
The
waitstaff
continued
to
ignore
me.
At
this
point
I
had
been
waiting
far
longer
than
it
had
taken
me
to
order
and
eat.
I
can
understand
if
they
were
busy,
but
five
tables
to
two
waiters
is
far
from
busy.
I
was
about
to
just
get
up
and
leave,
a
thought
that
honestly
horrified
me
but
I
didn't
know
what
else
to
do.
Here's
a
little
secret
for
those
of
you
not
in
the
restaurant
biz.
Having
lots
of
full
tables
leaves
a
good
impression
on
potential
customers.
A
busy
restaurant
must
be
good,
right?
A
once
common
strategy
by
restaurants
that
are
struggling
that
thankfully
now
I
haven't
encountered
in
many
years,
especially
in
busy
areas
where
people
can
see
from
the
street,
is
to
keep
people
seated
for
as
long
as
possible
to
create
the
illusion
that
they
are
busier
than
they
really
are
to
draw
more
customers.
It's
a
deceptive
and
inappropriate
trick.
I
was
getting
restless
and
was
about
to
either
get
loud,
or
leave
when
finally,
almost
40
minutes
after
I
finished
eating
and
told
the
waitress
I
was
ready,
the
waiter
brought
me
the
check.
I
paid,
left,
and
didn't
look
back.
It's
a
shame,
because
aside
from
the
horrendous
wait
to
pay,
the
experience
was
decent.
The
service
initially
was
prompt,
and
the
portions
were
good.
The
eggs
were
cooked
properly
(and
we
all
know
how
easy
it
is
to
screw
up
eggs).
The
restaurant
decor
was
dated
but
clean.
The
prices
were
reasonable.
Yeah,
there
was
some
bad
oj,
but
they
apologized
and
fixed
it
immediately.
That
doesn't
bother
me
much.
Those
things
are
going
to
happen
sometimes.
If
they
were
busy,
waiting
for
the
check
wouldn't
have
bothered
me,
either.
Ignoring
me
after
I
said
I
was
ready
to
go
more
than
once
is
what
ruined
the
whole
experience.
Hopefully
after
reading
this
review,
they'll
resolve
not
to
do
this
to
anyone
else.
