desperate much?

friday night we decide to accompany our good friends rob and lindsay to the cheesecake factory.40 minutes later, we arrive in parking lot.
10 minutes later, we find a spot to park.
3 minutes later, we are standing in line to put our name on the waiting list.
3 minutes later, we are told to come back in 15 minutes to get assigned a beeper.
13 minutes later, we are back in line to get assigned to a beeper.
3 minutes later, we are told there are no beepers and to come back in 15 minutes.

(are you following still?)

10 minutes later, we finally get a beeper.
1 hour later, our beeper vibrates and lights up.
8 minutes later, we are seated.
20 minutes later, our order is taken.
30 minutes later, we get our food.
5 minutes later, our waiter asks us if everything is 'ok' and then walks away before we are able to respond.
20 minutes later, we order a slice of cheesecake.
10 minutes later, we get the slice of cheesecake.
3 minutes later, we get the check.
1 minute later, we left a tip for a $1.03.

thanks to rob, lindsay and my hubby for making it all worth while. despite our bad experience we still had a fun trip and some delayed, but dang good food.

We went there during the afternoon when it wasn't really that busy and still waited FOREVER for our food and felt like we had to practically beg for service. The food was good, but I don't know if I'd go there again anytime soon.

hahaha it's true! once i went there to pick up a cheesecake (oh it was YOUR wedding cake) and it took 30 minutes for them just to talk with us and get the cheesecake that was sitting back there to us. crazy

Ha! Loved the story. You're more patient than I am. I probably would have left for a slushie from Ella Good after the first 10 minutes. And so excited to hear you're going to sing again. Way to go!
