Are there any TGIF’s anywhere anymore?
Only went to one once. Years ago. The food was adequate. As any chain restaurant food is.
But the tables! They were inches apart.
I hate being able to (forced to) listen to conversations from other tables. Especially tables 2 and 3 tables from mine.
I never went back.
I haven’t seen a TGIF in a long time. Not here in Marin, not in the parts of San Francisco I usually drive through.
Some restaurant managers get focused on maximizing their potential profits. This leads to presumptions of exactly how many tables can I physically place within X number of cubic feet? They start thinking the way Plane Companies do.
Sardine methods become the rule.
Last time I was in a Friday’s, the food was okay, but the atmosphere was ... odd, and our waiter was a cross between Curly of the Three Stooges and Zippy the Pinhead. Sounded like it too.
It was surreal.
These days, I prefer a stop at Chili’s, or maybe Twin Peaks...
:P
