She's not the only server. There was one other person serving the rest of the restaurant. > 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. Given how slow that place normally is most Monday nights -- the free pie promo is not for our benefit -- they probably were only working with one server, one cook, and a manager until we came along. I think they have now two servers, two cooks, and a manager, so it's not just the extra server. (This, BTW, is one reason they get a little annoyed when we have a near-cancellation on some convention weekends and why it's a good idea for us to tell the manager when we expect the following week's meeting to be lightly attended.) > Sounds like a way for the restaurant to get more money out of us. It is their business, after all. > Question: Is this enough for BASFA to consider changing > locations? I'm just asking. I'm not sufficiently annoyed to advocate it, unless we wanted to move to the Round Table Pizza Newark (one of the sites I advocated the last time we went a-wandering), and that is admittedly because it's much closer to where I live; however, the location has other advantages that I would further discuss if relocating becomes an issue. I think we should live with the service charges for now and see if they really want us to go away. I'm really surprised at restaurants thinking we are more trouble than the money we bring them, actually. I don't think we are _that_ much trouble, are we?
