And do remember there were empty tables around me (the front always fills up last). As matter of fact, when I left there was still one empty table in the front. (I do try to time my dining times pre- or post-rush hours.)

There is a reality that singles are frequently treated with disdain in restaurant. They take up a table meant for at least two people, order and only pay for one meal and usually drink less and usually tip accordingly. I do tip as if there had been two orders if I get reasonable service. I believe anything less is ill mannered. So, rude service is not uncommon. That was one of the things I truly had appreciated about Cane Garden -- it didn't matter that I was a single or what time I showed up. If they had a table, I was welcomed and treated well and their food was good.

And I'm truly sorry. I wasn't trying to stir up the pot. As a matter of fact, I would not have posted at all had it not been that others had experienced negative attitude themselves.

Red, it really irks me that you were/are treated in such a disrespectful manner. You weren't stirring up anything. Just relating an experience. That is what this forum is all about. I was just hoping above all hopes that it was someone who thought they knew you well enough to have temporarily forgotten that you were a customer of the business and not a friend they could come across in a manner a little less, shall we say, professional.

Ceejay. Here is what I think. When I see your screen name, I know that what I will be reading under it will be fair, considered, thought out, reasonable, well evaluated and very interesting. EVERY TIME. Thank you for increasing my knowledge and being a role model for posting.

BOY HOWDY, Gracie!:)

Thank you so much...all I can say is that I've learned from the best!

Your posts are always so genuine...you write like you would speak (even though I've never heard your voice!).

I have enjoyed TOTV over the past few years and have always had my favorite posters...You, PTTurner, BKCunningham, Boomer (how I wish she would come back!) K9Lovers (I hope everything is ok with them, they haven't posted in forever), Katz, Richielion and I could go on.

I read everything you guys post...knowing that I am either going to laugh or cry or learn...and I enjoy every minute of it.

I guess when someone makes a negative remark, I tend to take it personally :boxing2:...I gotta work on that!

Thanks for making my day!

Tell me VG, did they serve clip boards with the appraisers? http://www.allpest.com/wot/smileys/farout.gif
