Well it was interesting today. Jenn and I were planning to go see Angels and Demons today in Truro. However the movie was playing later than expected so we opted out and decided to go to Big Al's in Tatamagouche...safe idea right? Wrong!!! We get there and the place is already really crowded. Plus there was no where to sit except one table that was dirty but hey, we thought, they would come by and clean up the table...wrong again...we waited at least 10 minutes to be greated and finally get some menus. So once we finally put our order in (which by the way took another 10 minutes)it takes about 30minutes to just get our appetizers! Not to mention we had two ladies come in after us and they got served berfore we did!!!! Such a big nono! When finally got our apps (I was never so happy in my life to see food!) Then we got our main dishes after that. The ladies who were waitressing were very nice on a positive note and you could tell they were run wragged over how busy it was, however when it came time to pay our bill, they did nothing to compensate us! Jenn and I and ordered a second pop thinking they would comped for it due to the fact that we waited forever to get our food but when we got to the counter she was confused as to why we would one of our pops comped. We said we had to wait 45 minutes for our appetizers alone plus we sat at a dirty table! We wouldn't have needed the extra pop if it wouldn't have taken so long! She said that wasn't really their fault as they were sooooo busy and that other peoples orders were delayed as well. What kind of rationalizing is that! She said she would comp it but that it would come out of her pocket. What kind of place are they running where they can't compensate for their faults! So Jenn didn't tip her but I did cause she was nice (I don't know what's wrong with me) but it's guilt money for her plus I told her I wasn't impressed and that I was writing a comment card. Sad thing is I'll probably never go back but the food is really good.
Oh well , have to focus on the positive, had some good food, a nice sunny day to lay out and got to watch Taledega Nights and Anchorman. Now I get to hang out with Pascal :)
I was sorry to miss the girls BBQ but I heard it went off great! Congrats girlies!
