The bare necessities

Which aren't all that simple it seems.... David and I were reading some of the posts herein and found that we have been a bit on the negative side. This is not without reason. From our perspective, we are looking for a few simple things from our dining experience: nice people, good atmosphere, quality food and prompt service. At this point, price is not a real consideration. The bare minimum.... 1. For the love of God would you people get over your fear of COWS!! Powdered soybeans and miscellaneous chemicals are NOT cream....and when you add oil to it, it's still NOT cheese, and if it won't melt it's NOT butter. Never has been, never will be...! 2. A smile would be nice... pleasant would be even better. Yes we know you hate your job, and we really don't care! Smile dammit! No really, just look like you don't hate us on sight...that's a start. 3. Fill 'er up! Yes...we do drink more water than someone lost for days in the wilds of the Arizona desert...So??? Keep it comin' ! 4. Cleanliness is next to Godliness... and with all the preaching around here you'd think they'd get THAT one right. Fluffy toilet seat covers are great when it's only your bum that's using it but in a public restroom...EEEwwww! And another thing... ever look closely at all the decor crap hanging from the ceiling (fake flowers, clowns, etc) if you just HAVE to have them could you at least scrape the layer of grease and hair off them every now & again? 5. Food that is made at least in part from scratch? Yeah that's right give the microwave a rest and make something that wasn't dumped right out of the bag from Sam's Club. So what do we require, really? Friendly, competant service (with the accent on the friendly)...real food...clean surroundings. That's all!
