WASTED

I had the pleasure of making a completely wasted journey for lunch today. First, we went to a place that was only open for dinner. Then, the place of next choice was out of most food, which wouldn't seem so bad had they other retail sources of income. But this is my second incident with this place, and by the number of people that were there, I'm thinking the sentiment isn't isolated to me.

So I ordered my food, I paid, and shortly thereafter they said, "we don't have that, is there something else you want?" After looking over what very little they had left, I just wasn't interested in anything else they had, so I asked for a refund. This would be my second refund request from this place in as many tries. I don't think I'll give them a third opportunity.

I ended up waiting for my co-worker to finish eating, running over to the eating establishment next door, and getting a to-go order. It's amazing how much of a different world it was next door. It was packed, but faster. They had exactly what I wanted. And it was overall entirely hassel free.

The whole experience was matter/anti-matter -ish. But all I really did was drive across town to sit around for an hour so that I could then eat at my desk. So even with the good ending there was so much wasted.
