Out at Campisi's
Jul. 21st, 2007 09:49 pmWhy do they keep this place so dark?
At least Skye still sparkles.
Maybe it's a special hell. Campisi's is a place my parents would have gone to in the 1950's. It's an Italian joint who's food, and apparently it's waiters, haven't changed since then.
They have a big problem serving big groups, and they won't split the check. That's extremely annoying in this day and age. I so rarely caryy cash.
The waiter we had tonight was old, bitter and didn't speak very well. We we tried to get some help on making the check work out amongst out six credit cars (and one paying cash, he was rude, and unhelpful. He said "If you give me seven cards, I'll run them for the same amount." Well, that was a no-go, so we did end up working something out, and most of us rounded up to include a basic tip with our payment amount we wanted him to charge to each card.
When he came back, we signed, and he started taking the bills as soon as we signed them, notiing that most of us did not write a separate tip amount. He didn't know we rounded up, and thought we were slighting him.
On the way out he told Scott (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I wish I could have rounded down now. Some went to talk to the manager about him, but given the resturant, the waiter is probably a family relation. I'll need to check what was charged with my bank tomorrow.
