Sorry, on the way to your table, I ran into an acquaintance (steel cut oatmeal, you know the drill) who would not stop talking. I kept staring at my watch, glancing over his shoulder, but nothing would get him off my back. By the time I ran to your table, you were gone. I was as disappointed as you are, since I spent the afternoon with my grease congealing on a side table.
Mine happened at Aladdin, on NE 33rd. I will go back as that place seems to rotate servers pretty frequently and it's pretty close to my house; but if I walk in and see the forgetful woman, I am walking out. The sad thing was that it pretty dead and it became OBIVIOUS she forgot our order and made no effort to say sorry here's some ____ to tide you over,etc. She looked pretty dumbfounded when we left.
