It was a place that went out of business long ago, in Braintree, Massachusetts. It was a steak house called Valle's. They used to be excellent, until they hired a Hostess who was far more interested in outing delinquent or LATE waitresses, (late for their shift), than in keeping their customers. It was so mean and dysfunctional I still want to scream...and this is ancient history. They went out of business in the early 1980's.
We were deliberately seated by the hostess in an area served by a waitress who had not shown up for work. We sat there for half an hour without a glass of water or a look or a word or a glance from anyone. We were roundly ignored. Waitresses would walk by and deliberately look away when we called to them. Finally, one of them had mercy and told us that the waitress in our section had not shown up for work.
By then we had been seated for an hour. We walked out of there and I wrote a blistering letter to the manager. I hope and pray he fired that hostess...AND the waitress, too.
