Really you left without paying for your drinks, then posted about it. Bad service is one thing but to leave without paying is another thing.

There's one in every crowd!!! Pay for what?? There was no bill, there was no food???? Two cokes was all we had. Had we been drinking beer or booze, we might have been more patient. Give me a break!!! She also missed out on a very healthy tip, had she done her job. Yessss, we were starving, and shaky too. Waiting 1 hour 15 min????

You should have added that you also stuck the server with the bill you didn't pay. Is that the way we handle disputes in TV? Then proudly tell the world about it! I must be missing something.

The world is full of tough lessons or at least it should be. I do not understand why people today are so willing to bend over backwards to "understand" the perpetrator of the deed. In the real world, you either do or you don't.

A poster complains about food, service, etc,. Then posts will follow that others have had a wonderful experience. I think these whining posts are a waste of time.

Then posts personally criticizing the OP.

If the server got stuck with paying for two soft drinks, I would consider it an inexpensive, yet powerful, learning experience about leaving a customer UN-served. Perhaps better to absorb the cost of the drinks than to have the manager fire her for her inattention to customers.

Beef O'Bradys is a chain, and like almost every corporation they are interested in your experience at their restaurant. You can contact them on line at Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Family Sports Restaurants and Pubs (the hot link came out as gibberish, but if you click it, it works) and then hit "contact " or you can call their company voice mail at 800-728-8878.

After that lousy experience I don't think you should have paid for
your drinks!
Give me a break!

I thought after she said that she made the mistake, that the food would be out in a few minutes,,, after 20 mins, I had it.

Had similar problem. We called the corporate office in Tampa and given regional supervisor's phone number. Was able to get the owner's direct phone number. Spoke to him directly. After several conversations, we did receive a $35 gift card. Bottom line--- the server never put our order in. Email me if you want the owner name and phone number.

Went into Walmart, only buying about 4 dollars of stuff. The cashier was out of change and had me wait. She came back with paper for the receipt printer but no change. I reminded her she needed to get change. Left me again and I think she went on break. After 20 minutes I just walked out with my stuff which I bagged myself. After that lousy experience I don't think I should have to pay for my purchases.

So the moral of the story is, whenever you are inconvienenced, just grab whatever you want, bag it up and walk out the door. It's hard to believe that Wal-Mart didn't have another check-out lane open you could have used.

Hopefully you are not serious, but using this as an analogy for walking out of a restaurant without paying. Otherwise, you could have spent the night in jail for shoplifting $4.00 worth of stuff.
