Went for a meal in the Left Bank in Dundalk on Saturday.
Disastrous! Booked for 8:30, arrived at 8:25. Head waitress gave us menus and decided that vwe were then invisible.
Was left sitting at the bar until 9:20 before
I finally called the girl who gave us the menus over and asked her if she wouldn't mind taking our order at least.
I'm a very placid bloke, but this was testing my limits. I counted four other couples who arrived after us, had orders taken and were seated while she was ignoring us.
When we finally got seated (9:40pm) there wasn't one word of apology or mention of the delay. If I had said something then it would have come out wrong and would have caused an atmosphere for the night so I left it.
Food was only ok too. Portions were ridic small and nothing was included. Herself ordered the salmon and that's exactly what she got. No salad, no nothing. Service throughout the meal was chronic, we would have been better off in the Roma.
No way was I staying for desert or coffees (and we both love these).
I left the smallest tip that I ever have and got the hell out of there.
Never again! Even if there is a work do planned for there, I just won't bother going.

btw you should have left or at least demanded to be seated immediately after 15 minutes. Service like this is inexcusable at any time, even more so in the depths of the Great Recession. Go onto menupages.ie and take your revenge with a blistering review

guy walks into a bar that is empty, nobody in there except the barman.
He orders a beer and a packet of nuts and sits at the bar drinking away. Suddenly he hears a voice say 'nice tie!'. He's startled and looks around but there's no-one there except the barman who is oblivious.
He goes back to his beer and a couple of minutes later hears a voice saying 'nice jacket!'. He looks all around the bar but there's no-one there except the barman who's busy polishing glasses.
He's pretty freaked out by now but decides he'll finish his beer and get the hell out of there. Just as he swigs the last of his beer, he hears a voice saying 'nice shirt!'. He looks over at the barman but he's busy reloading the fridge.
He calls the barman over and asks him if he's been hearing the voice. The barman looks at him as though he's crazy and asks him what the hell he's talking about.
The guy is a bit embarrassed now but tries his best to explain;
'well, I keep hearing these voices and, um, well, they keep saying nice things about my appearance'
the barman immediately nods understanding. "ah yes, that'd be the peanuts sir"
"the peanuts?"
"yes sir, they're complimentary""We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."Comment

also what's with leaving a tip anyhow
my understanding is that the people working there get paid
if iam really pleased with the service i would just put one of them complimentary mints back into the cheekbook thingy as a little treat for the waiter/waiteress.........SPOILER

Question for officey people.
Whats the correct procedure when you're genuinely too drunk to be in work? Are you supposed to ring in sick? Or just come into work drunk and slog through the day?
I didn't have time to think when I woke up, so I just jumped on the bike and got here, but I'm thinking that I probably shouldn't be here.Comment
-
Time is of the essence. Has anyone copped that you're drunk? If not, fake a headache and go home.Originally posted by emmet02 View Post
If they have, slog it out and try not to make any mistakes.
Alternatively, get a copy of the Star and go for a snooze on your bosses desk.Is that how you crash a wedding? yes it is, Bionic Barry, yes it is.Comment

Yeah, realise leaving a tip at all was a bit pathetic, but i thought leaving a quid would make the point better than nothing at all. Kind of saying that was the value I put on the service and lets face it, you wouldn't give a quid to a child these days.
Didn't know where to write a review/complaint or whatever but will get on to that today.
I actually didn't really mind one couple being seated before us as I thought well maybe they're regulars or whatever but it quickly got stupid.
Agree with Raoul & Strewel that, especially in the current climate, this shite shouldn't be let away with. No excuse for pretentious wank like this anymore.
Anyways, lesson learned. Thanks for advice.Comment

A taxi home and back. You dont know Emmett too well do you. Emmett gets kicked out of pubs for not drinking and has always shown himself the model of thrifyness so can you really see Emmett shelling out on a taxi home to get a shower especially when he has his bike. And even if he got home i doubt he would have the emersion on willy nilly to have a hot shower or the time to wait fo it to heat up.Originally posted by Ste05 View Post
Cop yourself on man, a scottish shower and a pack of chewing gum will suffice especially for emmett.

I would never go into work drink.... againOriginally posted by emmet02 View Post
After a girlie candle party and too many wines the night before, I went into work. Got the train as I knew I would be over the limit for driving (only sensible thing I did) and tried to work, knowing full well I could hardly string two sentences together.
I got taken into the bosses office and sat down. It was my annual salary assessment.. and I got sent home.
The next day my boss asked to see me first thing and stated I was very very stupid to have come in and I should have called in sick as this would have been far better practice than turning up in the hungover/drunken state I came in on.
I got my review a month later though and all was forgiven lol.Comment

when you consider how hungover she was after the event, I think it's a pretty sure thing that more substantial debauchery than a few glasses of Pinot Grigio and fancy candles were involved.

The correct protocol for being in work after drinking session.
(or maybe it's just me)
Big Fry up with coke at breakfast whilst laughing/talking in a voice that drowns out the conversation in the whole cafeteria. Somehow you get about 2-3 hours when you are flying through the work/emails/projects. Then you crash and burn and the nausea kicks in. You disappear to the jacks and both ends play musical chairs with the toilet for about 60 minutes. You return to the desk and read through the WTF emails from the people you emailed in your perceived 'flying it' time. It is about now the tiredness kicks in and you fall asleep in your hand only to be woken up by either the pull of gravity asd your hand weakens or what is commonly known as a 'snore start'. This is the fright you get when you hear yourself snoring at your desk. If collegues hears this pretend you are clearing your nose or something and return to the toilet and sleep with your head against the paper dispenser. The auto light will click in after about 10 minutes and
you will be in total darkness until someone else comes into the toilet. This is where I recommend you place a " Please use Jacks downstairs' crude sign on the toilets door so you are undisturbed. When somewhat refreshed take a small walk around the outside of the building and return to your desk where you work 30 minutes overtime and earn Legendary status
from your office chums. Spend evening on sofa eating chinese food and watching cricket. Sleep will soon followComment
