What Do You Do When You Never Get Served?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SERVICE WITH A SMILE?

A reader wrote to let me know that during a recent dine out, she and her dinner companion(s) tried a new spot I had recommended.
Trouble was, they were never waited on. They watched as others around them were brought plate after plate, and even remained patient after they were told by several servers that the kitchen was “very busy.”
After 40 minutes — and no attention — they walked out.
What would you do in this situation? If you had partially been served, would you leave enough money on the table to cover costs (this is my recommendation) and leave? Would you throw a fit? Would you jump over the kitchen line and make your own dinner? Or would you just walk out?
