Normally,
this
Wednesday
night
visit
is
a
welcome
one
following
our
midweek
Bible
study
opportunity.
However,
this
evening
was
not
a
pleasant
one.
When
we
arrived
at
the
store
just
prior
to
2030,
8:30
people
time,
there
was
one
of
the
workers
in
the
lobby
putting
the
chairs
on
the
tables.
Silly
me,
the
door
says
the
dining
room
is
open
until
10
PM,
or
2200
military
time.
That
is
a
an
hour
and
one
half
from
the
time
we
arrived.
We
disembarked
from
our
vehicles
and
entered
the
building.
From
behind
the
counter,
I
heard
the
exasperated
blubbering
of
an
individual
say,
"Nevermind,
they
came
inside,
any
ways."
That
individual
was
dressed
in
a
leadership
attire
and
was
giving
direction
behind
the
counter
to
other
employees.
The
only
summary
of
this
situation
is
that
she
did
not
wish
for
the
dining
room
to
remain
open
and
was
trying
to
look
like
the
lobby
was
closed.
Fortunately,
we
did
not
further
disturb
the
already
flustered
leadership
employee
and
her
staff.
We
ordered
at
the
kiosk
quickly
and
sat
down
to
wait
for
our
food.
The
bright
spot
prior
to
our
food
arriving
was
that
one
of
the
employees
kindly
brought
our
beverage
cups
and
the
bottle
of
water
we
ordered
with
our
food
to
our
table.
We
were
joined
later
by
several
couples
and
a
family
of
five
who
joined
in
the
dining
experience
in
the
building.
They
were
treated
more
congenial
than
we,
and
received
service
at
the
counter
by
an
individual.
The
leadership
individual
had
disappeared
after
I
asked
if
the
dining
room
was
closed.
I
only
hope
her
disgruntled
attitude
was
the
result
of
a
"no
good,
very
bad
day"
at
the
Bell.
Our
food
was
prepared
and
we
retrieved
it
at
the
counter.
It
was
prepared
to
order
and
nothing
was
amiss.
The
diligence
this
staff
gives
in
preparing
our
order
is
consistent
with
those
who
care
and
are
attentive
to
the
details
ofl
their
patrons.
I
did
not
feel
the
food
was
ill-prepared
nor
that
it
was
uncharacteristically
unappetizing.
The
individual
in
leader
of
the
shift
was
unseemingly
distraught
and
disgruntled
that
patrons
would
enter
the
store
more
than
an
hour
before
the
dining
room
closed.
That
sets
a
bad
tone
for
the
employees
to
follow
as
an
example
before
their
patrons.
If
the
dining
area
is
to
remain
open
until
10
PM,
then
service
should
be
EXPECTED
until
10
PM!
Too
many
are
closing
early
to
get
out
fast
and
do
minimal
to
prepare
for
the
next
shift
or
to
care
for
their
patrons.
Customer
service
is
what
keeps
EVERY
establishment
in
business.
One
question
I
should
never
have
to
consider
when
CHOOSING
to
dine-in
at
a
restaurant
facility
is
"How
much
do
I
have
to
tolerate
or
endure
to
eat
in
your
dining
facility?"
A
customer
should
NEVER
be
greeted
with
an
aggravated
bluster
of
sighs,
or
not-so-subtle
murmuring,
hoping
I
would
hear
such
attitude
and
leave.
With
our
guests
we
easily
spent
$75
to
dine
in
your
facility.
If
the
attitude
does
not
improve,
we
can
easily
spend
that
money
elsewhere
and
try
to
minimize
the
level
of
frustration
our
eating
in
does
to
the
leadership
attitude
at
this
franchise
location.
