Correction: Our waitress, Jeannie, claimed that this policy has been in effect since January, but they had not been charging us for it. They are going to charge us for it. Since she seems to be the only server in the whole restaurant, I don't see how claiming that she's a "dedicated" server works. Now, if they had a second waitress that they had to hire on to help take care of the workload because Jeannie was taking care of BASFA, then I would have no issue with it. Sounds like a way for the restaurant to get more money out of us. > The only difference this will make to me personally is that the amount > I > pay for my dinner will go down slightly, as I've usually been tipping > twice the tax before subtracting out the free pie, which is pretty > generous.

Question: Is this enough for BASFA to consider changing locations? I'm just asking.
