Just a quick story of my day......
Had to wake up EARLY this morning. I needed to take the Tahoe up to get the oil changed at 8 am. Then came back home because Stanley Steemer was coming to clean the carpets.
DW took Courtney over to her (DW's) sisters house while the carpet cleaners were here. While she was over there, they decided that she (DW's sister) would watch Courtney while we went to see Pirates of the Caribbean.
Well, we decided to go to the 2:55 show. And we were going to go eat a late lunch before the movie. We decided to go eat at Abuelo's since it is pretty much right across the road from the theater. Well, just to be effecient, I dropped DW and the boys (we also took our nephew) at Abuelo's so they could get a table, while I drove across the road and bought tickets.
When I got back to Abuelo's, DW had gotten a table and ordered drinks. She was already talking about how bad the service was. She had sat at the table for 5 minutes before the guy came to take the drink order, and he had not brought them when I arrived. So, another 5 minutes pass before the drinks are brought out. He gives us our drinks, and says he'll be back in a minute to take our order.
Well.....that "minute" came and went......and turned into 7 minutes.....
Now......we were beginning to think that we might not even make the 2:55 movie. We had sat for close to 15 - 20 minutes and he hadn't even taken our food order. So, I went up to the front and asked to see a manager. I told her that we would simply like to be moved to a different table, that our server was not very effecient. Well, just as I was talking to the manager, the waiter had come back to the table, and he had asked DW if something was wrong. Well, apparently she told him "yeah.....we've been sitting here for so long, we may not even make our movie." Well, as I was walking back to the table, I could see the waiter's eyes.......he looked like a deer in headlights......
The manager said that she would put a rush in on the food. And the waiter became "mister perfect waiter". I mean he all but smooched our backsides....
When he refilled my tea, he even noticed that I used Sweet N Low and grabbed a packet of it, and put it beside the glass.
Anyway.....the food comes out quickly and we wolf it down pretty quick. The boys had a little food left that we got in a to-go box. He even boxed that up for us.
So when he brings the to-go box back out, he says thank you. DW asks about the check....and he says "no check. We'll take care of it."
Well, now we kinda felt bad. I didn't want the meal comp'd. Just wanted better service. And once we let them know about the bad service, he was terrific. So we got up to leave, and I gave Colton a $10 bill and told him to go give it to the server.
On the way out, I once again asked to see the manager. I told her that they didn't have to comp our meal. We just wanted better service. She was so nice and polite and was even greatful that we said something. She said if we didn't say anything, she could not fix it.
So, we went across the street to the theater. It was packed. We had to sit up in the 2nd row. Great movie though!!! LOVED IT.
(why are these on a WDW board, btw??
So Matt is at his buddies, Blake, Bree and Nick are at the movies, and Lilly is at her dad's. I am sitting here DISing and eBaying in peace
They have Vera Bradley on Ebay? I may to check that out. I'm wanting the Botanica pattern. 
I guess I forgot to mention that I needed something chocolate.
) Well the receptionist did the test on me
Needless to say she scared me but my doctor said the pressure in my eyes were fine.
