waiting area, do you leave and try another restarunt or

stay and wait for 35/40 minutes which is added to the wait time once you are seated?

I went out to eat tonight with my friends and I ws so mad that they decided to wait after seeing so many people outside waiing to be seated. I mean it's not like it was the only restarunt on the planet-lol

It depends on the restaurant, If it's Olive Garden or Outback then I'm staying.

Depends on the restaurant. Depends on my mood. Depends on my appetite. Depends on the company.

Generally, if it's too crowded or noisy, I'd sooner stay at home than eat there.

Well even with my favorte places i look at it as-"It' always another day and just can go to a nearby restarunt that's less crowded. I was so PISSED tonight but really hiding it from everyone

I'd probably find a different restaurant. But I tend to be a little impatient at times.

I'm out. I don't wait to be seated. Surprisingly enough, this has only ever happened to me at IHOP....and I already have other issues with IHOP.

I see your point but since you live in Philadelphia, I would assume that your favorite places are nearby. The ones I mentioned are about 30 miles away so when I have a craving for their food, That's what I want. Luckily, I've never had to wait no more than 20 minutes to be seated at either place.

Depends on how hungry I am. But no amount of fullness will make me wait 45 mins or more for a table. I don't wait well.

When I'm hungry, waiting makes me go into a panic attack, because I get sick if I get too hungry. I'm terrible waiting. This is why my purse usually has food in it.

Then you're in a foul mood, and then you're rude to the waiter and don't tip him, then his mood suffers, and he's rude to another patron....

And the cycle goes on, and on, and on...

Dean Winchester · 10-14-2007, 02:08 AM

depends on the place really and what's in the vicinity around. Like awhile back I went with someone to Buckheads and there was a 45 minute wait, so we decided screw it and went to IHOP right next to it, where we were seated as soon as we walked in

Number 9 Dream · 10-14-2007, 09:53 AM

I think it really depends on the restaurant or the mood I'm in. If I'm really hungry, I'd rather not wait 40 minutes for a table.

However, there have been times that I was craving that specific type of meal (like the one time my friend and I waited 45 minutes to get in to Cheesecake Factory), that I'll wait a long time.

coffield3 · 10-14-2007, 10:15 AM

Depends on the place! if its my regular i would wait because it would be worth it.
