I agree with Don 100%. Especially about a good manager compensating for the meal. My husband *never* put up with anything like that. In fact, if we started to get poor service and meals at a particular restaurant we just stopped going to that particular branch.
Our favorite place to go was The Outback but the one closest to us was doing good, but after we had not been there for while (with my wound of the century) we had not so good of meals and service so we decided to go to another similar restaurant nearby. By not going back-- that speaks volumes in itself. They simply did not get our business anymore. When we got the good service at The Outback we were good tippers and they remembered that so when we came back they recognized us right away and this went on for years. And we were seated right away and treated very well. Also, we rarely had to wait long for a meal and if we did, we said something. Otherwise, we just each other's company and not playing games when enjoying any of our outings together. But that was just us and our preference of doing or not doing whatever went out and about together.
