Zero
stars
if
we
could
for
zero
decent
service,
zero
atmosphere,
zero
cleanliness,
and
just
an
all
around
what
the
heck
happened
to
Red
Lobster??
Or
at
least
to
this
one?
We
dined
there
a
week
ago,
after
some
time
of
not
going
to
a
Red
Lobster,
really
looking
forward
to
some
of
our
favorites.
The
restaurant
was
almost
empty
as
we
were
seated
by
a
corner
window.
Next
to
trash
on
the
floor.
(Our
waitress
walked
by
those
pieces
of
trash
many
times
and
never
bothered
to
stop
and
pick
them
up.)
The
waitress
was,
well,
less
than
congenial.
Perhaps
she
didn't
smile
much
because
she
was
missing
a
front
tooth,
I
don't
know.
Dental
work
can
be
expensive,
but
we
have
worked
in
that
business
before,
and
would
not
put
people
(or
ourselves)
out
to
meet
the
public
in
that
situation.
However,
the
poor
woman
couldn't
help
that,
but
she
could
help
her
service,
which
was
non-existent.
After
taking
our
orders,
she
disappeared
for
a
long,
long
time
before
bringing
our
drinks
of
water
and
iced
tea,
and
then
disappeared
even
longer
to
bring
our
soup
and
salad.
My
spouse
discovered
why
we
were
waiting
so
long
when
he
went
to
the
restroom:
she
was
sitting
in
the
back
eating
her
own
dinner.
Finally,
our
food
came.
My
shrimp
scampi
and
scallops
(these
were
tiny
baby
scallops,
should
have
been
noted
somewhere;
I
would
have
been
happy
with
just
a
few
normal
sized
scallops
instead
of
a
dozen
miniscule
chickpea
sized
scallops)
were
floating
in
a
melted
butter
substance.
Folks,
that
ain't
butter,
which
will
congeal
after
a
certain
time.
Makes
you
wonder
what
is
going
into
your
body.
My
husband
was
enjoying
his
shrimp
feast,
except
that
it
was
more
pasta
than
shrimp.
But
he
did
seem
to
enjoy.
We
always
love
the
cheddar
biscuits.
We
had
to
flag
the
waitress
down
for
more
biscuits,
but
she
did
bring
them,
she
was
so
busy
(not).
Remember,
there
were
only
a
few
tables.
In
the
meantime,
we
were
watching
out
our
window
as
people
would
park,
come
to
the
front
door,
try
to
open
it,
and
then
end
up
banging
on
the
door
to
no
avail,
and
leaving.
We
went
to
the
front
to
tell
them
that
people
were
trying
to
come
in,
but
no
one
was
there.
We
flagged
the
waitress
down
again
and
told
her,
and
she
said
that
it
was
because
the
toilets
weren't
working
so
they
had
to
close
the
restaurant,
the
Health
Dept
wouldn't
let
them
stay
open
with
the
toilets
not
working.
I
casually
asked
if
it
was
a
water
problem,
not
really
interested
that
much,
and
she
said
it
was
the
sensors
on
the
toilet
that
automatically
flushed
them.
They
were
broken.
Huh?
On
ALL
the
toilets?
Yes,
she
said.
All
at
once?
Yes.
Can't
you
override
that
with
the
little
button
on
the
side?
No,
said
the
waitress
turned
plumber.
Whatever.
So,
"you
didn't
want
any
more
shrimp,
did
you?"
she
asked
my
husband
who
had
ordered
the
Ultimate
Shrimp
Feast
and
had
only
the
shrimp
and
pasta
(I
think)
from
the
selections.
Well,
yeah,
he
did,
in
fact.
She
wasn't
too
happy
about
that.
She
went
huffing
off,
and
some
long
time
later,
he
received
a
coconut
shrimp
dish,
was
pretty
good
(if
you
like
coconut).
We
were
just
about
ready
to
get
out
of
there
though,
so
ate
some
and
wrapped
some
in
napkins
and
decided
to
get
the
heck
out.
It
was
pretty
obvious
that
they
did
not
want
us.
Not
to
worry,
we
will
never
go
back
there!
(We
did
tip
the
waitress,
though.
Wait
staff
makes
so
little,
and
they
take
their
cues
from
management,
after
all.)
