* Left my credit card at Olive Garden. (I did this last week.) I’m pretty sure the waiter didn’t bring my card back to the table with the receipt. I didn’t realize until the next day it was missing, and they had it in the manager’s office, waiting for me. (Try the Apricot Chicken dish next time you’re there. But only if you’re a fan of tomatoes and asparagus. It’s really good.)
* When I worked at Wendy’s, I was at the drive-through window, and instead of giving the customer the correct change, I gave her back the price of the food - she gave me a $20 for a $4.50 order, and I gave her $4.50 in change. Considering how much money I handled when I worked there, I’m surprised this didn’t happen more often. Also, I knew her, and she gave me a hard time about it in school the next day.
* Accidentally went into the Women’s bathroom at Lone Star Steak House on Eisenhower. Whoops. I apologized to the lady walking in as I was walking out. She looked like she was winding up to clobber me with her purse. They closed that restaurant sometime later, probably because of complaints of wierdos in the restrooms. Ask J how fast I shooed her and Laurie out of the building when I got back to the table.
* Ate Hunan Chicken at Szechuan West in Ann Arbor. It was December 23, 2005, and I missed the Smith family Christmas celebration that year recovering from food poisoning. A few weeks after, it was reported that a food supplier for many Chinese restaurants in the Ann Arbor area was not following the rules when it came to transporting food. Neglecting to refrigerate it, for example, and mixing raw poultry and vegetables together in the same container.
* Ate the Cajun pasta at a restaurant on Park Lake Rd in East Lansing. I won’t go into the details.
* Ate the Seared Tuna at a restaurant in Novi. Seared meaning “almost raw”. It wasn’t bad at the time, but the more I think about it, the more I remember what it looked like and what “almost raw” means. Now I wouldn’t touch it.
* Once ate Original Recipe chicken at KFC. What’s the point of eating the original when you can have the Extra Crispy?
* Frequented Taco Bell on Grand River in East Lansing as a student. I could get three tacos and a Diet Coke for $2. Taco Bell to me now is kind of like Spaghetti-Os - I loved them when I was younger, and now I think they taste awful.
* Loaded up on chicken wings at the Okemos Ponderosa. They used to have a $3.99 lunch buffet (including drink!), and the Physical Plant crew would go over and stuff our faces. I didn't always win the "Who Ate The Most Wings?" contest, but I was up there.
* Used the ketchup at Crunchy's (East Lansing) in the summer. They kept the bottles of condiments on the tables all summer, and I got a hamburger bun full of sour ketchup one day. That didn't stop me from going back, of course...
* Ate at The Modern Kitchen, a Chinese restaurant in Wolverine Tower (not there any more). The service was very poor. One of my friends noted that he didn't get the peanut chicken he ordered, and the waitress picked up his fork and started sifting through the rice, claiming that the peanuts were "right there." (They were beans.)
At least they never gave me food poisoning, so I'll give them a pass.
