Score - Free Strawberry Pie

So Tina calls me last night and says they (her and Jaime) want to go out for dinner. We are starting a diet today and so they want to go out for burgers before they start dieting. So we decide to go to Gunther Toody's, which is right by our house.

On the way over I suggest we go to VI instead, because I really want some Strawberry Pie.

We get there and the service is pretty bad. The hostess seats us and gets our drinks, but the waitress never shows up for about 15 minutes. "Have you already placed your order?" "No." "Oh sorry, shift change, I guess I missed you."

So we order and Jaime orders a milk shake. The waitress stops by once to tell Jaime that her shake will be out "soon". Then she drops off the salads, "It should be any time". Then she drops off the dinner, "It should be right out." - and we ask for mayonaise... twice.

By the time she brings the mayo, Jaime has finished eating. She waited for about 10 minutes, but then decided she should just go ahead and eat her sandwhich before it got too cold.

So after we are all done eating, we notice the check is laying there. So Tina says, "Should we just leave and tell them she didn't offer us pie?" - There is a big sign that says, "If we don't offer you pie, you get it free." - Sure... why not.

So we go up front, stand in line behind a woman who is complaining about her order and it takes about 5 minutes to get that straightened out. Then Tina says, "She didn't offer us pie." and the hostess says, "OK - what kind do you want?"

SCORE! 3 pieces of free pie, 2 strawberry and 1 pecan

Still took them about 5 minutes to get that for us, and as I was walking out I heard the manager saying to the person behind me, "We comp'ed the one meal and all of your pie." - I guess it was a rough night for them all around.

As we were pulling away I said to Tina, "Gee we should come here more often." and she replied, "We are not coming here just because you know the service is bad and we'll get free pie." - Hey... its worth a shot. :)
