Bounty Hunters Unite!!

When I go out to a restaurant, I expect to be slammed, bombarded, inundated, attacked and annihilated by the food I order. How can I say this?? Well to put it bluntly, I felt jipped. Jipped by the restaurant, jipped by the menu and Jipped by the waitress smiling at me with the anticipation of her tip b/c of the awesome service and food she was to lavishly serve us, making sure to always top off our glasses. You know, if I wanted a little bit of food and to only have one glass of strawberry lemonade, I'd stay at home. With great anticipation of not having to cook and then clean dishes, looking at the menu I saw a picture of bounty. It was a skillet of fries smothered in Texas chili and topped with jalapenos. I knew, that was what I wanted. As I heard the sizzling skillet making its approach, it was as if the battle hymn of the republic was blasting in my ears. Then when the skillet landed, it was as if the needle on a record player had been scratched and the record began to skip. and skip. and skip. What??? that's my bounty of fries and chili??? Dave looked at me and said, if you want to order more chili, you can, if you want......So as we waited and waited and waited for the waitress to even walk by our table I ate the half-chili-covered fries. Then I saw our waitress whizz by in a flash, like she had somewhere much more important to be, than our table. I called to her and as she turned back to me, in mid stride, I lifted up my voice and called out, "I'd like a cup of chili please!" Without breaking her stride, she gave me a nod and continued on her way. Meanwhile, Dave's cup had been empty for quite sometime and having had chips 'n' salsa, some spicy fried onion strips and chili, he was in need of some serious drinkage. You'd think at a place where patrons were eating spicy foods they'd either provide a bovine who produces milk on the spot or drink refills regularly. Personally, I think the drink refills would be a whole lot easier and convenient.

What has happened to getting a full plate of food? Is it the recent dietary regulations? What ever happened to live free or die?? or whats that line in the constitution about the "pursuit of happiness"???? I understand that there are some folks who eat regularly out at restaurants but lets have some stuff suited for those folks who go out biannually, give us a treat and give us a good kick in the gut with a hearty plate, FULL of food!
