What should we be saving now, to be valuable in the future? Toys...
Hi Dr Lori, How much are the vintage Disney VHS and dvd's going for these days? I have a whole collection of both
You have an 8:15 pm reservation at a very nice restaurant, but you are not seated until 8:55 pm. Other parties are seated ahead of you. Do you stay or leave?
Order Uber eats and have it delivered to the restaurant you are waiting at. 😂. Sorry I couldn't resist...
Ask for a cocktail.
Life is too short to get aggravated over that. You don't know if those other people had reservations prior to yours. Maybe seated customers were slow to leave, that's their prerogative. Chill out. Spend that wait time appreciating the views, the atmosphere, people- watching, scrolling tic-toc, chatting with others who are likely in the same boat. Don't waste any precious time on negativity. 🙂
I would wait. By the time you find somewhere else you could have been seated.
Belly up to the bar for a double margarita on the rocks
It would take more time to leave & go somewhere else than it would to just wait.
Leave and order room service
Apparently they didn't know how famous you are.......David and Gary should have asked you out......I would have.......but other than that hope you enjoyed your visit
I like to roll with the punches, I'd stay. Maybe ask your server why others were seated first? Maybe they had an earlier reservation?
I say wait. If you leave you got wait some where else. Plus you can always people watch.
I'd wait. Stuff happens. Enjoy the people watching. Have a cocktail. 😊
it would take me that long to find another place to eat, if i were you i’d probably do a couple of appraisals while i wait ( and eat the mints in my purse) haha.
Depends on where and how much I want to eat there. If it's not a biggie to eat there, I'm gone at 8:30!
Maybe their reservations were 7:15? It looks like it was worth the wait!
I'd at least ask.
I would be annoyed, however, things happen that are out of their and your control. Give them some grace....was it also a weekend night? I've worked restaurants and bars and weekends are the worst!
You go to the bar and get a glass of wine while you wait.
I would want to know why. I get that many are waiting and enjoy the time but many people with disabilities don't have that luxury. I have a limited window of pain free functioning and need to budget my time carefully.
Maybe they also had reservations?
Ask for manager
For me, it depends on two things(1) how hungry I am (2) how much I wanted to try this restaurant. Really, I think I'd wait to be seated. Then ask to speak to the owner or mgr. I'd give them the opportunity to explain the delay and wait for them to offer at least their apology at best offer to provide your dinner for free, or free dessert, or wine on the house. They will, if they value customers at all, try to make amends. If not share the bad experience with everyone you know, if you are so inclined. They need to be prepared.
Go to the bar. Have a drink:)
People at others tables may have lingered longer, the people being seated before you may have had earlier reservations. Delays happen and I would wait. The food looks delicious ious.
This happened to me. We were a party of two and a party of four entered behind us. They took the party of four and seated them. When I asked why the hostess said they had a table for four just cleaned because a party of four just left. They didn't have a table for two ready yet.
They should give you a free drink while you wait!!!
Big crowds—come on down! @pghhomeshow @pittsburghcc_
See ya next weekend!, safe travels!
You look wonderful! So happy for you!
🌹✌️🌹 You look fabulous! 🌹✌️🌹
Congrats!
I love your hair this way. When it curls under and rounds on your shoulders it shortens your face. This is so much better. Just my humble opinion ❤️
See you soon!
You look fantastic. You had big crowds for your shows! That is great 👍
One of three shows on Saturday at the Pittsburgh Home & Garden Show
Wow, you had a big crowd there. People love you and know how intelligent you are. Sorry I couldn't get out to see you. You must be tired after every show. You are always upbeat. We will miss you in Pittsburgh 💖
International Women's Days Day Some of the best women I know and love! Post pics of your besties!
