Posted by Sid in Lakeshore Customer orders "A" Restaurant brings "B" seems like a frick-up on the part of the restaurant. Period. They can offer to "fix" things......they can comp things.....what they cannot do is remove the frick-up. It happened. Fact.


Grow the frick up. Believe it or not, these things called HUMANS work in restaurants. And this may come as a complete shock to an apparent impatient dick like yourself, but humans are not imperfect!! Novel idea, I know.

There's nothing you can do but offer to fix your mistake. If you expect no human to ever make a mistake when performing their job, you should eat at home or find a mythical restaurant run by robots.

So have I. And I've made mistakes. And I can afford a dutch oven.

I'm sure you've made at least one mistake waiting tables if you did it for a long enough period of time.

I've never gotten someone's order completely wrong except when I had large parties.

I'm not over-reacting like you obviously are. Fact is the restaurant made a mistake. No amount of excuse making will change that.

Yes, it happens. People are fallible, I understand. Does that make it "OK" from the customer's POV? If you think so, fine. I do not.

If it happens morethan once, I move on and I'm sure many are like minded. Tommy's is not notedfor frick-ups that I am aware of. I'm surprised.

You sure are a pissy little woman when someone vents about the service industry. You should relax.

The size of the party doesn't make it any more or less excusable IMO

working in the service industry you should know it can get hectic w/ large parties. Did it make my mistakes excusable? no. And just like him, I offered to fix the mistake. Doesn't mean he/she didn't feel the same way I did...disappointed. I also worked at Outback, not a nicer place like Tommy's.

IMO the thread is warranted because he is telling us what actually happened. He saidthey offered to "fix" it but he declined. Why everyone is so uptight about the thread is beyond me.

Right

It sucks that he made a mistake but he at least offered to fix it

It happens. It probably won't happen the next time he goes back. Errors like this are pretty much rare and random. It isn't any indicator of the service you would normally expect there.

I understand his disappointment, but get the frick over it lol

It's not like I said I would never go back to Tommy's. I was just venting my disappointment.

I did enjoy my avocado and crab salad after all.

That's a great combo. I love a salad like that in the summertime.

Not to hijack your thread but last night our family was at a restaurant and ordered a pitcher of timber beast. They brought the pitcher and it was evident to us that it was not timber beast. When questioned the waitress checked on it. She came back a few minutes later saying they were out of the timber beast and gave us tallgrass ipa instead. They never told us they were out and asked if we would try something else. What happened to you seemed like a honest mistake. What happened to us seemed like a dishonest mistake. I felt like it was a mistake at the bar and still tipped our waitress fully. She seemed embarrassed once she was aware of what happened.
