Excuse me Waiter...

I believe I ordered the Shrimp Scampi. Not the Shrimp Skimpy!! Literally 3 and a half shrimp on a pile of spaghetti noodles that tasted buttered.

I ordered cashew chicken from a local Chinese restaurant and when we got home with it found out they substituted peanuts for the cashews. I think that will be a lawsuit waiting to happen if a child happened to get into it was allergic to peanuts. I haven’t even been tempted to order anything else from that place and it was my favorite local lunch Chinese restaurant, they had good lunch specials.

Mmmhmm.

Seems like Restaurants are on a budget too.

@icedsky That’s quite dear for the amount of shrimp you received. Pasta isn’t that expensive

@Ghostinthemachine That's right. A box of pasta...an entire pound...is about $1.29.

@icedsky At that price they should have given you a full pound of the good shrimp.

What did the waiter say???

icedsky · 51-55, M

@Musicman He told me the chef was a rookie. Italian restaurant. Not nothing too fancy but you'd think at least a little better

Musicman · 61-69, MVIP

@icedsky Yes you would. When we go out and spend our hard earned money we expect better. A week ago we went to the Olive Garden for lunch. My wife ordered some type of a shrimp and seafood pasta dish. Her seafood was only half cooked. My wife was very unhappy.

When a restaurant skimps on shrimp, you know they've gone full Scrooge, shrimp is like the cheapest menu item besides soda.
