EloNat, I think the second part of your post was the problem, not necessarily running out of the item itself. I'd be a bit put off if I received that kind of attitude over simply trying to order something, and Fries was right...

Hmm. I don't know if it's most cases. That definitely does happen, where the server is to blame, but cooks make mistakes too. Sometimes it's no one's direct fault, but more a breakdown in communication. As far as the last line...

Hey, gang. I looked through the archives, and there's not a whole lot out there on brik dough. I did see a couple links for how to make it, and that's really awesome. I'm going to be looking into that eventually. But for now,...

I used to tip about 15% for average service, half that for poor service, and round-up-to-the-nearest-dollar-for-easy-bookkeeping for bad service. My policy is to NEVER not tip. If services is bad and you don't tip, you're still just...

Out of this list, I use tarragon the most. I use it mostly on fish (like cod), but sometimes on roasted chicken. I sometimes use sage and dill as well, but admittedly not very often. A great dill rub on sea bass is...

I agree with the sentiment of firing the thief. Is it stress to cover for him? Sure. Is it stress that he's ripping of the business? Of course. Which is worse? That one, to me, is obvious. I'd have dragged him to the back...
