Tonight my boyfriend and I went to Pizza Hut for dinner. I had a pretty tough day at work and I felt like comfort food. Pizza is my go-to comfort food. My boyfriend really dislikes Pizza Hut but he was willing to go with me since I needed a lift.
We walk in and about 3/4 of the tables were filled with remnants of the previous diner's dinners. It's nearly 90 degrees outside, but I start shivering almost as soon as we walk in because the air conditioning is on so high. We were seated and put in our relatively simple order -- 1 diet pepsi, 1 regular pepsi, an order of breadsticks, and 1 large pizza with pepperoni, peppers, and onions. The waitress informs us it will be about 15-20 minutes. Probably 10 minutes or so later she comes back and asks us again what we wanted on the pizza because she had forgotten. Then she brings the sodas, which she had correct, but she had no idea which was the diet and which was the regular. Then we wait about an hour and then finally get our pizza. It's what we ordered, but it was cold. Not warm, COLD. And there were no breadsticks. She says she'll put in an order for them (since she forgot originally). Then a little while later another woman comes by and asks if everything is ok. I tell her we were missing our order of breadsticks. She says she'll go get them. Then, a little while later the original waitress comes by and I ask again about the breadsticks. She says she'll put them in and they'll be free for all the trouble. We finish the pizza and still no breadsticks. And we overhear someone tell a family that's just coming in that the restaurant is now closed because the air conditioner is leaking all over the place. We manage to get a box for the leftovers, wade through some water to get to the cash register to pay, and then get the heck out of there.
I think it had probably been about two years since the last time we went. It will probably be at least another two before we go again.
What's your worst dining experience ever?
Good grief! I don't think anyone can top that! Our worst experience was an Applebee's. Hour-long wait and then my order of quesidillas came with a strip of corrugated cardboard baked inside. Yum!
Our meal was free, but still. Never went back.
Kathy, that's terrible. I do love me some quesidillas though. Of course, I prefer mine sans the cardboard!! Applebees just went down a notch in my book.
It's so bad it's almost funny! Your poor thing!
Marisa, right? It just kept getting worse and worse! We were very patient and understanding for a while, but by the time we left my boyfriend was quite unhappy. It wasn't terribly funny then, but it kind of is now. :)
