The Man, myself, a few of our friends and most of Atlanta went to a wine festival yesterday. That was the less crowded side.
We did find some good wines that I'll be going to the store to get bottles of. We also ran into a Mad Housewife that got along great with The Man. Which is good everyday wine by the way.
After a few hours sipping and sunning, I needed a break in the mist.
When we were all wined out it was off to be dined. Ended up at a local restaurant with the absolutely weirdest waitress ever. Now my friend is going to be a bit disappointed but there is just no way to describe the absolute bizarreness that ensued for the next hour and half. Our waitress had to get our drink order at least 10 times and let me tell you it wasn't a difficult one. She repeatedly grilled two of our group that did not want a glass of wine on to why. Mind you we'd been drinking wine for three hours so enough already. Then she kept coming back to ask if we wanted a bottle of wine. By the 12th time I had to growl "NO, we do NOT want a bottle of wine." Then there was the whole thing with one of ladies at the table. When the waitress would put down a glass in front of her, my friend would go to reach for it and the waitress would promptly snatch it away from her and replace it down on the table. When this same person finally got her tea order that I eventually had to order for her in order for her to actually have something to drink this was how it was served.
Lost count at around 50 how many times our waitress said "I'm sorry", she kept telling the tea friend she looked sad and was wanting to hug her. I'm talking multiple, multiple times. The whole experience was the most bizarre one I have ever had with someone giving me some type of customer service. It finally got to the point The Man had to firmly tell her to leave us alone and "we would like to finish our conversation." He toyed with the idea of asking the owner to give us another waiter but was concerned that would only escalate the personality issues with the waitress.
It was all I could do not to go up to her when we were leaving and say "Honey, you need medication."
