At Islands Resturant, I Was Forced To Behave Myself

A week ago, my two sister's and I went to Islands Resturant in Manhatten Beach for dinner. We waited patiently to be seated and dined on a very nice meal. I had a chicken wrap which was absolutely delicious. My sister's both had what I believe they called a Tuscan Chiken Sandwich, which they totally enjoyed. So accept for my unsweetened "tropical" tea, which I traded for a lemonade, everything was fine. After we finished our meal, we became a little lost in small chit chat. Then all of a sudden out of no where, our waitress slams a metal tray containing the check on a plate at the head of the table. I do not know about my sister's but it frightened me, but good. I get very angry when people do harmful things to my sisters. They are so sweet and easy going like my mother was and it is annoying to me when they do not speak up. I wanted to give this lady what for, but my sisters advised me not to. So I remained calm as we paid the check and left. I was glad that we did not leave a tip though. I wanted to write a tip on the back of one of the paper drink coasters, but my sisters would not let me do that either. I was going to write, "Next time be polite and you will get a green paper tip." I am the baby and they still call me their little sister, so I try my best to do what they tell me to. Besides, if I do not behave they will start leaving me at home from now on. Have you ever been treated rudely at a resturant?

Wait, did the tray hit your sisters? I got the impression that this was more of an accident. And did the waitress appear to be angry or just really stressed out? I don't know if I can take sides here, but I'm going to need more information on the waitress' demeanor the whole time that you were there.

She kind of whizzed by in a hurry. She gave me the impression that she was trying to give us the hint that our time was up and we needed to go or order something more. There are much nicer ways of doing this.

ohyes I was treated badly at a Dennys when I complained about my steak being undercooked and my potato was cold. so they reheated mysteak so it was not bloody inside and brought me a hot baked potato. great but when I went to open up the baked potato there was a coil of human hair wrapped around my hot potato. I was furious and called for the manager. so I got another hairless baked potato and the manager did not charge for the meal.that human hair did not get into that potato by error, someone had to have planted it there. yuck.

I know that people are known for seeking revenge when you speak up fpr yourself. That is really gross what someone did though. Some people are alright with under cooked meat. I am not one of those people either.
