This place is buried deep in yuppy town. Who ever is calling in big take out orders are locals do doubt. I blame the restaurant for not holding back enough of the ribs to attend the walk in customers . I am tired of paying top buck for food that isnt really good. Not long ago I went to another place my wife was raving about at providence and highway 51 (another place stuck in the middle of yuppy town) I went with her for lunch on a Sunday and ordered some fancy name ham sandwich priced at about 7 bucks....They brought me a ham sandwich all right. The ham was what you find in the deli section of the grocery store like oscar myers pre packaged sandwich meat. The tomato on it was white and hard and tasteless but you could see it was a tomato.If I wanted a sandwich made out of grocery store meat I would have went to the grocery store..A 7 buck ham sandwich needs real fresh cooked ham on it you would think. I plan to gorge myself at the cotswold yuppy tavern tuesday.......I might even have a beer and get loud mouth. I may even wear a red Mcclintock faculty golf shirt. It makes me look inportant .
Sounds like you should check out the threads here on where to go next to eat.
(Still chuckling that you think Arboretum is yuppy, it's nothing remotely like Myers Park/Cotswald)
Hee Hee. Me too!
I live in S Charlotte and truly - it ain't "all that" w/ yuppies and folks trying to be cool -- I don't see the pretentious types that Crest seems to think migrate into other neighborhoods and steal their food, lololol.

You mean you aren't a yuppie? Man was I wrong about you! Many apologies!

(NOT! lol)
Yep. I am too old to be a YUPPIE. As are my neighbors. We are all OLD DOWNWARDLY MOBILE SUBURANITES. We spent all our money on putting our kids through college and keeping up our too big houses!!!!
We are actually the ones stealing Crest's prime rib, not our successful YUPPIE adult chillrens, lololol.

Your poor, poor wife. If I were her, I'd have long since refused to eat out with you anymore. Just not worth the bitchin' that seems to result every time. Has to be a real thrill for her.
If I was salivating like Pavlov's dogs for a juicy prime rib, and they stuck a Reuben sandwich in front of me instead it would make me quite ill too. Admit it, all of you feel the same way too...... I think he held his composure quite well given that circumstance.
If you gave the waiter less than you normally would have for something he or she has no control over, then you did "short" them for lack of a better word. If the waiter had taken your order for prime rib, then come out 15 minutes later saying they didn't have it, then I could see lowering the tip.
I actually don't mind when a restaurant runs out of something, because that usually means that the product wasn't a frozen one that they have tons of sitting around for weeks.
I don't know if it is Karma or what, but I have found that you get out of the world what you put into it so seems to me you probably are getting your just rewards. I'm surprised you didn't try to suplex the waiter or something.
I do agree, thought, that it is not good to go to a restaurant and get a deli meat sandwich. If I want Boar's Head, I will go down to Harris Teeter and get it myself.
