I took my folks out to nice place after finishing paying off a small loan they gave me.
Dad ordered salmon, Mom ordered chicken breasts. They always ordered basic items at restaurants, never anything wild.
Dad didn't finish his salmon, Mom picked at her chicken. There was nothing else on her plate
Asked to see a menu again and sure enough she was supposed to get potatoes and veggies, along with a choice of something else. My meal was less than great too.
My folks never complain if you buy them something. Old school manners I think.
Long one short as I was paying I expressed my displeasure to the girl on the way out and she looked at me like a deer in the headlights. No offer of anything or even an I'm sorry.
Driving home I lose my temper and say it was a horrible place, we will never go again etc and finally my Dad says - Yes, I wouldn't spend my money at a place like that.
close as he would come to saying - it fucking really sucked
