Dear Resturants,

I find it really annoying that you all don't take reservations.

I really don't see what the big deal is- I don't want to have my family drive for an hour- to wait at resturant for over an hour

wouldn't you make more money if all your customers where happy b/c they didn't have to wait?

signed,
good tipper
( lucky for who ever waits on me at Paddy McGees- they take reservations)

OMG.

And the crazy thing is that people are willing to wait the 180 minutes until they get a table!

I KNOWWWWW!! That's why I'm glad DH was good friends with the Manager over there. We never had to wait.

Re: Dear Resturants,

Beth -- I agree. I am more likely to frequent a popular restaurant if I knew I wasn't going to be waiting for a long time.

That place is insane!!! It's bad enough they have crazy waits all the time -- there's no place to wait. Chat Icon Now whenever I go there, it's for lunch on a day off or something.

Re: Dear Resturants,

I hate the waiting game too. I just can't do it.

If you are a cheesecake factory lover, go for brunch on Sunday - you can order off the regular menu and the place is half empty. I was there a few weeks ago and it was delightful!

Not for nothing---but Cheesecake Factory really isn't that good.

Re: Dear Resturants,

Do the restaurants take your credit card and charge you if you make a reservation and don't show up? I think I recall that...or maybe it was just a bad, bad dream...

Some places do that if you have a larger party or for holidays. I haven't really run into that otherwise.

This really pizzes me off. I think they do it so you can buy drinks while you are waiting.

but what are us preggos supposed to do? Virgin pina collatas? That's no fun Chat Icon
