Went out to Shoneys at 8415 W. Broad St. tonight, Sunday Sept. 21[SUP]st[/SUP] with DoubleTap and her mother. As many of you know, this has been the location of upteen well attended OC breakfasts.
First, the service was p-poor at best: had to seat ourselves (no host/hostess & no sign) then the only thing the server did was to forget to ask me if I wanted a refill on my drink (I did) and bring me the check. On the way to the cash register, I saw her sitting, twirling her hair, and talking to a male.
At the register with 3 separate checks (dutch treat) Diane's mom was given a senior discount w/o asking. I was last to pay and had to ask if I wasn't entitled to the discount too, after I was quoted full ticket price. As the adjustment was being made, I was told to leave "that" (my gun) in the car next time. When I inquired as to why, was told it was corporate policy.
Went through the short spiel as to how it was not corporate policy for customers, you could contribute to my gun being stolen, yada yada. Shoney's has always welcomed us in the past - choosing to honor the laws of Virginia.
Requested his name 3 times - he kept giving me a telephone number. I finally demanded his name and handed him pen and paper.
Will follow through up the ladder on Monday after the corporate office opens.
Don't ask whether I left a tip or not and yes, I had my recorder running.
