I don't think I've ever come here to talk about something that has happened to me, but this was just too weird..... A little background. DH and I enjoy a local Breakfast place that has had some problems with keeping their experienced personnel and because of this the restaurant has gone downhill most of the summer.. And we've been really patient all the way around.... still coming every week or so and it's getting better.

I apolize for not reading all the replys.

It sounds as though your Breakfast place from your description may go out of business soon.

You said other places were 45 miles in oposite directions.

If no other place opens up, maybe you make a day of it. Nice drive, relaxing breakfast, if there are shops available, window shop.

Many years ago we got together with four other couples and had Brunch ever Sunday morning.

Whatever the case, we would never return to that Breakfast place. Not worth getting ill.

Hope you never have to go through this again.

Your comments to the manager "a month or two ago" did no good. Why do you think talking to him again will?

You've gotten to know the management. Do you think you're friends? It should be obvious you're a customer, and maybe no more important than any other since you complained once and nothing changed. In fact it was worse (ending in a shouting match. BTW do you think management isn't aware of that?)

You've done this dance twice. If you really do go again, you don't deserve any sympathy. You've shown them that they can they can treat you badly and you'll come back.

If there are no other places to eat, get your stuff at the grocery store and cook it the way you want it. And tip yourself.

@Q4u

I totally agree with you. It is no one's business why you do or do not eat eggs, now, next week, never, or every day.

I'm sure you are tired of this subject, but I'm going to add that since the wait staff in your area seems so interested in what you eat you might change to the following:

"This is not what I ordered. I ordered an egg white omelet and this is whole eggs, and it's not an omelet. Please fix it."

You don't owe the wait staff any further information about what you want or need, or your health. This way they have NO information to 'bring to the table' as it were, about your next order.

May I say again, I'd never visit that place again eggs or no eggs, because I'll bet it is standard practice to just rinse dishes if the disher is behind.

You are so funny! Love your puns.... especially the plum tired part (hard to keep track) but truly am grateful for all the replies, even the tart and raspberrry ones.... I feel I've learned something from everyone....

And again.... LOL.... tough room~!

@Q4u, wow, that is some bad service!

I have one puzzling question, and I have not had time to read through the replies (sorry but I am so short on time right now).

If someone orders an egg white omelet, why can't they make the omelet? They may be out of the liquid egg white in the carton, but they do have eggs, right? Just use real egg whites.
Good point. I was wondering that myself.

Many restaurants use liquid eggs @RainCityWoman which come in a bag and are mixed yolks and whites that are pasturized. They are use for both scrambled eggs and omelets. Actually most restaurants use these now and only use regular eggs for sunny side up, over easy, etc.. A lot of restaurants have shelled eggs delivered daily and have a count on how many shelled eggs they go through in a day. Sometimes they do run out. That is the only possibility I can think of.

Can't understand why you're still going there if service is so bad. Eat somewhere else or don't sit in his section. On the other hand, I can see why the waiter is so confused with your 'eggs'. First you tell him you don't eat eggs, complain to management, then you go back and order eggs. I would've said the same thing - 'thought you didn't eat eggs'. There's two sides to every story.

To avoid further drama, your best bet is to eat somewhere else, and maybe go out for lunch or dinner instead.

It's not his place to judge her or to be confused, and she owes no explanations. He's supposed to provide what she orders. The rest of it is none of his business, and being confrontational about it was completely unprofessional.

What I can not understand is you and your husband. Why did you even go back AGAIN ?????. I would have not gone back. Besides the problem with the waiter , you said the place was not so great anymore .
