Crazy, wicked world out there.

IMO pizza a required taste. My standards for pizza comparing to godfathers. So no pizza down for my taste stacks up to godfather’s before the company got ruined. I find frozen pizza doctored up just as good or better than any pizza offered here. But, that me.

Is this not a discussion page?

I would have said “Come on in! We can accommodate you!” 🤦🏻*♀️. If your time is limited, make a reservation in advance.

She could have said, "At the moment there are tables available, but don't be surprised if that has changed when you arrive- it's unpredictable". I'd be OK with that- in fact I'm smart enough to know that without being told.

The particular comment was an insult, not part of a discussion.

This is a Question Answer Forum. The people who felt this was worthy of reading and answering now fill 3 pages.

Strange. She told me the same thing when I asked if they had Prince Albert in a can.

phone
 
they don't want to have to hire people to answer the phone every minute - it would be kinda a cool app

better yet if the villages paid a couple bucks to program a live update we could see & change the CURRENT days golf - it can be done just need a live system

That would be ok with me.

OMG I’ve never seen so many stupid responses to this stupid question. This sight is really getting bad. Who cares if there is a line or a wait you either go or NOT.

We’re from San Francisco. My sister-in-law’s family ran a couple of pizza restaurants. One of them very famous. IMO No pizza south of the the Mason Dixon line is as good. Gotta ask for them to make sure it’s crispy. Then it’s OK. Piesano’s wedding soup is excellent.

There was an active shooter situation in a restaurant and a bowing alley. Mass killings and injuries. I just saw it on the news.

We’ve got three squares and Sawgrass Mkt Place filled with people nightly. A mass shooter doesn’t need to call around to find a soft target crowd here.

If they said there was a line, and you decided not to come, and the line had cleared up by the time you _would_ have come, should they be okay knowing that they cost themselves a customer in you that night?

On the other hand, if you had just asked if you could reserve a table, they could have told you "we don't accept reservations and there's a line around 20 minutes deep" or "there's no wait time, just come on in."

Excellent reply
