I don't see anything wrong with what he did. He went to a restaurant, paid the bill even though he wasn't satisfied with the operation, gave the waiter a tip, and left. He didn't throw a tantrum, disturb the other customers, or anything except to vent his frustration here.
And he didn't even name the restaurant so no harm done there either.
If you ask me, the ones showing the bad behavior are the ones calling him names for what he did, which is nothing but express an opinion of a place. Geez.
he said he didn't want to leave a reasonable tip but his wife made him. That's why people are jumping on him.
He's also throwing a tantrum on here and given his history probably threw a mini tantrum there as well...
last but not least he said he plans to go back and hog slowly at a table in order to frustrate the staff.
Most places have a dine in only policy when it comes to specials like this... but Eddies Place doesn't. I've seen people walking out with 8 Prime Rib dinners.
Next time... call in for a to go order. You don't even have to tip!
I've been to the Prime Rib special at Eddies and I'm far from a yuppie. It's $1 an ounce... treat it as such and get there early. I had the same experience the first time I tried to get it and while I was PO'ed... I didn't try to short the waitress, especially on Tuesday when they are slammed all night.
Oh wow! Take out? Woot! Thank you so much for sharing this . . .
I wont mention the name of this place so I wont get in trouble with the bossman. There is a little restaurant near by in Cotswold that has a good reputation and is a sort of trendy yuppie pub type hangout along with good food so it has been said. I had never been there until tonight .They have a tuesday special of prime rib for one buck an ounce . The wife went with a neighbor last tuesday and planned to go this week with me and the son/girlfriend . Only thing is the whole past week the wife told all of her friends about how great it is and they should go. Well they evidently did go because when we arrived the waiter told us "sorry we have sold out of the prime rib" We sold double what we did last week" ....Of course we stayed and ate against my wishes .I had a rubin that I swear didn't taste as good as the ones I use to buy from the lunch truck at work.....I told the wife before we even went in I didn't like being around yuppies because they didn't give a rats arse about what the price of food was as long as they got their fill ..Evidently a bunch of them did so and I still haven't had any prime rib I anticipated their entire day. The wife then got mad at me when we left because I told her to leave a very small tip in appreciation of them NOT HAVING WHAT I WENT THERE TO EAT....Sure that sucks for the waiter but HEY it sorta sucks for me too and it is after all my money ..thanks for reading this
My plan is to order the 8 ounces I was going to order this week and then order another 8 ounces and slowly eat it . Then I will order a glass of red wine and sip on it for a while .I'm not mad at the restaurant or the waiter or the wife even... I had my mouth all ready for some prime rib for a special occasion and ended up having to settle with a crummy so called reuben sandwich .It is just like the Myers Park old money yuppie types to per order all the friggin prime rib and carry it off . Just proves what I said about yuppies.

I love your use of stereotypes......damn yuppies spending their hard earned money on Prime Rib, they should be going to Del Frisco's, Flemings or Capital Grille for their Prime Rib after all, that's where Yuppies eat right?
On second thought if you were so hell bent on Prime Rib why didn't you go to one of the previously mentioned places?

Hey now, Crest. You have things all mixed up.
The Myers Park old money yuppie types do not go to Eddie's Place and carry out the prime rib. They are members of country clubs that have steamship rounds of beef every week. So if they want prime rib, they go sit down and are served at their club. They don't have to schlepp down to Eddie's and procure their prime rib in a styrofoam box.
By your own admission, your wife told everyone she knew about the prime rib, lol. I have a feeling a lot of other folks did the same thing! But I don't think you can blame it on the Myers Park crowd!
