Inappropriate!

We were out to dinner w/Jay and Janet last night at Village Tavern. We'd never been waited on in the past by our particular waiter, but the service is usually spot-on, and we've never had any complaints in the past.

We sat on the patio, which was pretty crowded, and it did take a little longer than usual for our appetizers and salads to come out... but it was a nice night out and we were having a good time visiting, so we didn't think much about it.

A little while after our entrees arrived, our drinks were empty, but we hadn't seen our waiter in awhile. We finally snagged another waiter and told him what we needed, and he ran into our waiter on the way in and sent him over to check on us. We told him what all we needed, and as he was clearing up empty glasses and plates, he said, trying to joke, "Oh, I don't know if I'll have time to get that for you."

Then when none of us laughed at his comment, he huffed a big sigh as he walked off.

Excuse me, what? Your JOB is to have time to do that.

Ironically, his name tag indicated that he is a "training mentor". Wow.

And we didn't have the money to leave him a good tip.
