Georges or How I was hoodwinked into giving them my money for nothing again

I first went to Georges in the 1980s. I like hole in the wall burger joints filled with dudes I went to Jr High School with that have lawn services and load barges and hang drywall and talking about gym class in 8th grade and who had a nice rack in 1984.
But I went in there a year ago (Coursey/Jones Creek) and they royally screwed up my order. So I waited for them to get it right, which was accomplished right when everybody else in our party finished. No apology, no price adjustment, they just seemed annoyed.
So I went back again maybe three months ago. Pimp Jr orders a shrimp po-boy-they give him an catfish poboy. Strike two. Again, they don't give a shite.
I go back today and I want a bacon burger with no mustard. They hand me a burger. I take it back and ask them to add bacon. It takes over five minutes. The burger is cold. It's lathered in mustard. I hand it back to her and tell her look, you have had two shots at this, just charge me for my son's meal and I'll be on my way. The sweet girl behind the counter tells me proudly that's she's not going to charge me for my burger that I never got. I feel like I won the lottery. Awesome. $21 bucks for a po-boy and fries and a couple cokes. And headed home for leftovers.
I know that George's is full of loyalists, but I'm just not ever going back. Three times in a row. Georges has run it's course. Time to bulldoze that shite hole. They just don't give a frick.

Pimp Jr
I'm guessing you will be co-signing at Home Depot for Juniors lawn service starter kit if he graduates.

You kind of come off like a prick considering she never knew about your previous experiences and she didn't even charge you

He's a BRMHS kid. We are working on beard grooming technique, the fine art of appearing not to care, and community lesbian organizing .

You are missing the point. They got my order wrong. I gave it back to them. They got my order wrong AGAIN.Then I said, hey let's cut our losses here and just charge me for the rest of the food. And she was courteous and sweet, not knocking her.

What was wrong the second time?

You should work there. They don't have any interest in making a bacon burger with no mustard either. Just tell them you don't care if the customer gets what they request and tell them it would take you at least three times to make it correctly also. It could be your big break in the food service industry.

The terrible service is part of their charm.

Not cleaning or busing tables is another little silly quirk they have trademarked. That and dollar bills covered with dust stapled to the ceiling.

After tax: a shrimp/catfish combo plate is $29
That's a fricking rip off. frick that place.

Yep, looks like you ruffled some panties

Yep. Also rudely throwing a pad of paper in your face when you weren't aware you take your own order.

I'm not on Instagram by the way. My Baw sent me that awesome pic.

George's is hot garbage and easily one of the most overrated places in town. I don't know why anyone even goes there anymore.

Berg thinks you're cute.
