Not A Friendly Friendly's

[sillyken]

Hi All

I went to a Friendly's last night and was told they would not accomodate me. I wasn't pushy or anything. Does anyone ever feel like we are treated like dirt by some of these people? What can we do about it? It was the end of a very bad day and I walked out after speaking to the manager.

I know it seemed like a nasty thing to do to you at the end of a rough day but they did you a favor. If they had tried to accomodate you you would most likely have gotten poisoned. In a place like Freindlys they have a flat grill, they cook everything on it. Yea they could shove stuff to the side but for us that is not good enough. I don't risk eating out except at a restaurant where I am positive they have an actual chef. I ask that my meat be cooked seperately in a saute pan and have a baked potato. My DS will go to someplace like Denny's and order eggs cooked in a seperate pan that sort of thing but in an operation with grills you could only eat safely if you were the very first meal of the day. Some restaurants are great and knowledgeable, some wellllll

I agree Ravenwood.

Ken, let that one go. Its is FAR BETTER for them to admit theat they cannot accomodate you rather than trying, failing and you getting sick.

I actually don't mind it when I am told by the restaurants that they cannot accomodate me.

However, this is normally followed by me grabbing a menu, pointing to steak or chicken and asking "you really can't put this in a clean pan with some oilve oil and veggies and make it for me????"

Funny, how they seem to "get it" when that happens.

After a cursory view of their menu, I have no idea why they couldn't cook you the sirloin steak (unmarinated and unseasoned) with a baked potato and steamed veggies or the Cheddar Chicken with a baked potatoe and steamed veggies.

Sometimes, managers need help...

Oh well, "where ignorance is bliss, tis folly to be wise..."
