The average dining out experience
December 4th 2007 06:39
The average dining experience consists of a meal being served within 40 minutes of it being ordered and staff being mildly interested in their customers. This works well for all parties because the patrons are there to eat rather than socialise with strangers and the staff have multiple persons to serve and thus don't particularly care whose birthday it is or who's moving away.
The bad experiences in terms of service are kept to a minimum although there are certainly times and places where patrons are left waiting a ridiculous amount of time for their meals or ignored altogether. The kitchen remains a bit of a mystery with many placed that are given terrible reviews by health inspectors still trading with venue goers none the wiser. But hey, providing you don't get sick and die from this lack of hygiene it's not like you'll be put off your meal because you won't have clue about it. And despite this supposed breach in OHS standards, the food usually manages to tastes pretty good.
Parking for these venues, however is becoming a bit of an issue because either there isn't any available, or the parking meter won't allow you to pay in cash for more than half an hour and you know if you're not back in half and hour exactly there's definitely going to be a fine sticking out from under your windscreen wiper. But that's another story.
Generally, eating out means acceptable food and fairly constant conversation with everyone eager to have their say about anything and everything. But then again, I suspect this is all stuff you already knew.
