Their explanation was that they were short-staffed. Additionally, the portions were incredibly small for a nearly $30 meal for two. They barely included any dressing with our salad.

After getting my food, I drove back around, and they asked me to park out front. After waiting for 10 minutes, I went inside, and the manager said he needed to count the cash drawer. I asked why he hadn't done that already since I had already been waiting, and my soup was going to get cold. I ended up waiting another 15 minutes. So, I waited a total of 25 minutes for them to count the drawer, and when he finally brought me my change, it was only $14.96. I told him I had given $40.03, so my change should have been $15.00!
