It's either the lines are too long, I am not getting my money's worth, employees don't know how to follow dress codes to the point where they look disgusting, or my food is not made correctly, or a combination of those issues. Some people have said just make food at home, you save money, and you're eating something better. But I shouldn't be forced to cook food because restaurants prices are way overpriced and I am getting shoddy service. I guess it's just the times we live in. <cite>SogyoNoKotowari posted [p:974943303] in Is it me o...
