I completely and absolutely agree with you again ilovetv...AND with JBlum and Hedoman. I completely respect the hard work those servers do and the less than warm way they are treated sometimes. They are ordinary people working for all the goals anyone has to survive.

I hope I am not marginalizing the OP's post but our experience with the servers at Toojays at LSL has always been very positive. We live very close to LSL now and go to Toojays much more than we did before.

I just love that restaurant. Chicken livers are the best on the planet. (even if they aren't good for you)
