Restaurant wait time

PET PEEVE #997

People sitting at their table for a long time after they eat when there is a huge line waiting to sit down.

Don't you just hate it when you are going out to dinner on the weekends and the restaurant is packed? To make it worse is when the host/hostess tells you it will be a 20-30 minute and it turns out to be like an hour. I mean I don't know how they calculate the wait time.... IS THERE A FORMULA THEY USE? if so, I would like to know. 

I hate people who sit at their table and take their sweet time and don't care about all the people waiting outside for their table. And they know you are starring at them too. I think there should be like a limited time where people can sit after their dinner. Say 30-40 minutes? A restaurant isn't a coffee shop. There is money to be made and people to serve. I use to be a waiter in high school and I would hate people sitting in my section for a long time because I lose money. When you are a waiter/waitress its all about provided good services along with how fast you can flip your table for the next customer.

SO PEOPLE NEXT TIME YOU ARE OUT EATING, PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND GIVE UP YOUR TABLE!

Yummy Elementary School Pizza..... NOT!!!

I took advantage of the MLK holiday today to have lunch with my nieces at their school. When it comes to school food, it's a hit or miss. Surprisingly enough the food they fed me 15 years ago is still being served to the kids today. There wasn't much of a variety to choose from, so it was either pork chop with rice or rectangular shaped cheese and pepperoni pizza. 
I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza along with sweet potato fries and green peach jello.

After taking my first bite of the pizza it made me realize that I never did like school food and I was always the kid who wanted to trade my lunch for the brown bag lunch bringers. The pizza was flavorless! It tasted like stale cardboard, the bottom was soft and soggy. I don't think it would have tasted so bad if it had more tomato sauce and if it sat in the oven for a little longer.

Com'on lunch lady you can make it taste better!
