Ohh I fully agree with you and the fact that the $15 min wage isn't coming for a while.
On of the things I have noticed is that when the economy was booming, everybody had money and expense accounts downtown, a lot of the resto's around town were busy.
Now a lot of the places who aren't busy, are doing the Groupon's, have closed down are all looking at excuses and external factors as reasons for their situation. Very few places are actually looking at their own issues.
Perfect example was a pub I frequent down in the SW in a nice area. The place does decent business but their quality has gone down and the prices keep increasing. I was there the other day for the Flames game and it happened to be wing night. It was busy but the idiot "Manager" had zero clue how to seat tables. He loaded up all the 6 top tables/booths with deuces and 3's when it was't busy. Well as soon as 5 pm hits and everybody shows up after work, there isn't a lot of room left for the larger tables of 4-8's and the line grew longer and longer. He kept telling everybody it would be 5 minutes and after 25 minutes a few waiting tables left he proceeded to say to a waitress "fuc*** people have zero patience, don't they know its wing night??"
Garbage experiences like that are why some people don't repeat establishments. This isn't the only joint in town offering Flames hockey, $.35 wings and Bud Light on special.
Also this guy could have done the tables waiting and his waitresses a massive favor of clearing some tables as soon as people left instead of trashing waiting customers and looking at the waitresses's ass.
