Ok, I learned that CF doesn't serve Dr. Pepper. Well, they don't serve
fettuccine alfredo on the side either! At least the waitress was nice
when she said, "We don't serve it like that." I thought it was a bit
unusual but not enough to spoil the meal. I'll just have to get it at
another restaurant that does serve it on the side. I can hardly wait
to see what I can't order the next time!

Why do you continue to go there?

How about you try ordering what's on the menu, and see if that makes a
difference?

Certainly the easiest way to go with the boring chain places where
customer service is often marginal. At higher end restaurants they make
a lot more effort to accommodate special requests.

Yep, that's the way it is with those big chain places. You get it the way
they say you get it and if you don't like it, tough you know what. They
just want you to wolf down your food and get the hell out of the place
because there are more goobers waiting for your table. When a restaurant
brings you your food and the check at the same time, they simply don't give
a damn about your "dining experience." Better to go to a burger joint or a
diner instead. You're lucky they even put Splenda on the table for you.

They have a picture of every menu item in the kitchen and you have to
make it look like the picture every time! Now THATS SERVICE!

Sixteen carrot slices, two cherry tomatoes, one cucumber
slice....etc...

Makes you wonder how the people they hire pass the HACCP training...

What a bunch of assholes. I bet they don't have liver and onions or blood
sausage either. Tell them you want a side of head cheese. Order borscht
for your soup and walk out if they don't have it. Show them how bad they
really are.

As for the Dr. Pepper. tell them it is OK to substitute Mr. Pibb or
Cheerwine. Better yet, demand Lime Ricky. Any decent restaurant should
have it.

Show'em who's boss. Keep going there until they meet your demands and have
everything you want on the menu.

I'm afraid if I did I wouldn't be able to eat in most restaurants ever
again...

I have spent some time in commercial kitchens however and I know I'm
more anal about sanitation than most I see.

I would hope that you would agree that the waitstaff at any restaurant
should be sufficiently competent to offer a similar alternate that the
restaurant does have such as Dr. P vs. Mr. P. or Pepsi vs. Coke, without
prompting from the patron.

Then you'll also be familiar with who in the commercial kitchen
has that training and how the information is made available.

Expecting a cook in a chain restaurant to be able to pass HACCP
training is nothing more than wishful thinking. I would bet that
even the unit manager would be hard-pressed to be current on any
training not mandated by Corporate.

Although it's unlikely, maybe they actually make fettucine alfredo the
CORRECT way, which means "from scratch", not using sauce from a jar. While
this is not a terribly involved process, it's certainly not worth their time
to make a small amount as a side dish.

Does this place have lots of pictures on the menu, like Denny's?

Maybe the troll can get it all out at once and list every item
Cheesecake Factory doesn't have on their menu and be done
with it. Or, maybe it can just go to a restaurant that features what
it's looking for instead of Cheesecake Factory.

I like Cheesecake Factory. They have a varied menu, the service is
good, and the prices are reasonable. I dislike Dr Pepper.
