Terrible Meal !

I wonder if the food would come across as not looking enticing if I was a grumpy complaining customer , Left s try it !


First of all I get there and am confronted with stairs ! Seriously who walks up stairs ,all establishments should be on the ground floor !



No, I don't care that there is an elevator next to the stairs !

Waiter comes and asks anybody for dessert , I just stared him down ... he then asked if we would like the bill.

As I left and went to the car , I wondered why the bad service ???

It then hit me , I wasn't wearing the gold sub !



TIP? Haaaa!

Hey Kostas!!
Very Awesome, seriously .... so captivating!!
Can't imagine the results if you were wearing your big ole' Sub!

Its morning here, and I'm blaming you for being so hungry now.

Then, you have to post that car photo - and now I'm imagining a tour somewhere.

Geez, you've blown my whole day! hahahaha


Blessings,
DM

Diablo looks better than the food, I was waiting for the shot at maccas or KFC on the way home. Knowing OZ prices I am sure there was about $500 of food there.
