I
love
our
Valentine
Day
tradition
at
White
Castle,
but
not
at
Homer
Glen,
IL
location.
It
was
our
first
time
back
since
the
pandemic.
But
it
was
my
worst
Valentine
experience
in
the
ten
years
we
have
been
going
to
White
Castle
for
this
special
event.
AND
SPECIAL
IT
WAS
NOT!!
Each
year
we
try
a
new
store
for
the
annual
Valentine
dinner
and
this
year
was
Homer
Glen's
turn.
What
a
disappointment!
I've
seen
small
parties
decorated
better
and
more
to
a
theme
than
this
store
was
decorated.
There
was
no
Valentine
fancy
dinner
ambiance.
No
dimmed
lighting
like
other
stores
have
done.
Not
even
a
photo
area
with
a
backdrop
on
the
wall.
So
sadly,
we
didn’t
take
any
pictures.
No
one
greeted
us
at
the
door
and
the
place
was
a
shambles.
It
looked
worse
than
a
Chuck
E
Cheese
on
a
bad
night.
Granted
it
was
8
o'clock,
but
still.
After
we
waited
for
a
table
and
finally
sat
ourselves,
it
was
another
5-6
minutes
before
a
"server"
came
to
take
our
order.
This
person
was
an
incompetent
order
taker
and
I
had
to
repeat
the
order
3
times
for
each
person
(there
were
4
of
us).
First
thing
we
asked
was
if
there
were
shakes
available.
He
said
yes.
It
was
8:30
and
the
shake
machine
closes
at
nine.
By
8:55
we
still
had
not
received
even
our
drinks
and
finally
someone
(I
think
he
was
the
brightest
one
there)
came
out
and
asked
us
what
our
order
was.
We
were
a
little
agitated
but
we
repeated
it
angrily
and
then
he
said
"
sorry,
too
late
for
shakes"
the
first
item
on
our
list.
After
that
2
other
immature
high
schoolers
came
out
to
get
the
order
and
laughed
when
we
were
upset
that
it
was
taking
so
long
for
our
order
and
how
the
error
occurred.
While
waiting
for
our
fast
(ha-ha)
food
I
asked
for
the
manager
whom
I
barely
saw
thru
the
big
kitchen
window.
She
came
out,
heard
our
story,
gave
an
insincere
apology
and
offered
us
some
coupons.
COUPONS??
as
if
I
might
come
back.
We
finally
got
our
meal,
45
minutes
after
ordering
it,
that
was
the
only
thing
that
replicated
a
fine
dining
experience,
the
wait!
After
we
hungrily
ate,
but
didn't
enjoy,
the
brighter
one
came
out
seeing
our
disgust,
comped
our
meal.
Which
was
nice
but
didn’t
change
our
unpleasant
experience.
I
will
return
to
White
Castle
next
Valentine
Day
and
thru-out
the
year,
but
NEVER
AT
THE
HOMER
GLEN
location.
Poor
management!!
