Funny Big Guys bumped as I have it on my mind.
I had the chance yesterday to eat someplace fun and junky, but I decided to fight the urge. I fought successfully until I happened across Big Guys on Instagram. Turns out they had some kind of Sunday supper with beef tenderloin, lamb sausage, shrimps, a lamb chop, grilled vegetables, pita, potatoes, aioli, tzdicki, and maybe something else. I said F stay at home, and I high tailed to Big Guys.
It was a bit weird that there was no sign or other indication of the special, like they did not want to sell it, but I unloaded my Instagram and said, "give me that." I sat at the counter and about 10 min later, two bags were presented to me. Maybe it's to do go, in fact one of the things that attracted me was the chance I'd get more than one meal. Still, I live far enough from Big Guys that I had not planned on taking it home. It kinda annoyed me that I was not offered the chance to eat in; I mean it's not like the place does not have eat-in space. There was no fork, no napkins to facilitate eating. Feeling rather not wanted, I decided to leave. I also decided to peek in my supper before leaving.
Good thing I checked. No tenderloin. No shrimps. I had to go up to the counter. They dropped some more meat in my box with the same hospitality they had been showing all night. And nary an apology. Granted, I was made whole. Yet, what if I had not checked.
Here's the kicker, what really gets my goat. I wrote a little note to them on social media. I congratulated them on successful social media; I mentioned I really liked the supper (especially the lamb chop). I also told the story of the missing food and the missing apology. It was a private note just the way these guys always ask--they say don't go to yelp, tell us, and they say, do it in private. 24 hours later, no reply. Again, it's not like I did not get what I paid $12 for. It just left me all a bit uppity. The fact that they don't seem to care has me even more grrr-face.
