I personally have not had anything really awful happen at Sinclairs. But the servers clearly need some training. I wonder how many of these young people have ever actually sat down to a family meal at home? And maybe most of their experiences in dining out has been at a chain restaurant, where they were served by equally untrained young people. And as far as talking to the manager or expecting the manager to even notice, it's pointless because most of them aren't trained any better. I suspect that most of them got their training at the fast food chain.
Last time we went to Sinclairs, my BIL ordered a salad and crab soup. The soup never came -- the server said that they had to defrost it. When my BIL said to forget it, the server insisted that he take it with him, but that didn't happen either. Guess it just never defrosted.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not shocked by WW's account about the appetizers and the main courses at the table adjacent to his. It's about what I'd expect because clearly no one has ever explained to the wait staff that timing is everything when it comes to serving.

OTOH, when we do get good service we generally overtip just out of appreciation. I know a lot of the servers are just working their way through college and don't ever plan to do it again. I appreciate their industry, but still wish they'd make a little more of an effort.
