That was me at a restaurant called Eggheads this past weekend.
It's a breakfast/brunch spot, new to the uptown area, looks like a family owned establishment. Things were going along nicely until I sat down, but I won't bore you with the slow, nasty, cold details.
That place was so bad I was trying to Urban Spoon them from my cell phone. Now, that's bad. Using my dumbed-down blackberry, I couldn't connect through my FB account and couldn't remember which e-mail address I'd used to sign up so I couldn't log-in to rip them right then like I wanted to. Oh, but I tried. When a skinny bitch is hungry, you DO. NOT. MESS. WITH. HER. FOOD.
In the end, I ended up posting a review on yahoo. THEN when I got home that weekend I went back to Urban Spoon, who conveniently had never heard of the establishment, and kindly suggested that they add an Eggheads page so I could rip them like I still wanted to.
Sure, let it go N, let it go. Let it go, you say? Unh-unh. Don't mess with my food.
Since I'm still miffed about this place and their attempted ruination of my day (don't mess with my food, especially my breakfast!) I went back on the site to check today and the page had been created. Thank you Urban Spoon.
I promptly clicked "Don't Like", then went back to yahoo to find my review there, cut and pasted it into the Urban Spoon review while adding a few more colorful descriptions of my displeasure (read: it's the longest review you've ever seen on Urban Spoon - don't mess with my food, I'm trying to tell you...), clicked save and now I feel like my ire has run it's course. Well, hopefully. Although, if I think about it long enough, I'll get an Urban Spoon badge to add to my blog, where I can review restaurants with no holds barred.
I won't subject you to what I wrote on either site though, I'll just sum it all up with this.
Don't eat at Eggheads. They suck and the servers suck and the food sucks. They better be glad that I wasn't paying, please don't get me started on tipping servers who don't deserve one... some of you are nice like that, I however, am not.
Which brings me back to my original question, have you ever been that upset with a place, restaurant or otherwise that you went out of your way to review them to death?

Oh yes ma'am. I was so disturbed by the lack of care and pushing of product and extra service by my last veternarian that I found every consumer review website I possibly could and gave them reviews of death. You know the kind. Short, but punctuated with brutally candid words that would make a litigation attorney's balls shrivel?
ReplyDeleteThen I proceeded to write a letter of recommendation to the vet I have now, singing their praises. Karma balance, after all.
