The end is approaching….
Went into the location in Greensboro NC on Westover. I don’t dine in anymore because the service is abysmal. I used to get great service at the bar, but that went to hell 3 years ago. So I order takeout and sit outside.
Today I had to find someone to take my takeaway order. Order took 20 minutes. Four families sitting in the entire restaurant.
Alice Springs chicken is now $22? Used to be $13. I asked for an unsweetened tea while waiting. Sure, no charge. But no lemons, she said. Maybe I could have a club soda? The girl at the hostess station says “sorry we only carry Pepsi products.” Seriously?
Now that I think about it, I rarely go out to eat anymore. Either it’s too expensive or the service is crap, or both.
I worked at the Melting Pot in Atlanta when I was in school. It’s a tough life, but I worked hard and had fun…better than digging ditches or working retail.
Maybe it’s not an Outback thing. Maybe it’s a sign of the times in America.
Well, I remember some amazing meals and great times over the past 35 years since I first discovered Outback.
Thanks for the memories. That’s the only thing that remains.
