Default Red Robin revisted

Angela and I were having a good day. She had an appointment last night at
our new medical clinic and on the way in, we noticed a sign that their
pharmacy was going out of business and all the gifts were 40% off. I had
already planned to look there for a gift for one person because they carried
something I thought she would like. So I was pleased to see that it would
be on sale.

So we stopped in there before lunch and I was able to get Christmas presents
for four people and at a very good price. Also another thing for our
surprise ball. Our tradition is to make a giant surprise ball, as large as
a basketball or bigger. We put some toys and money in it as well as things
grownups might like, like nail clippers, toothpaste, lotion, nails, glue,
etc.

Then off to Red Robin. They were crowded, but the people waiting were
contained within the building. We were told it would be about a 10-15
minute wait, but really it was more like 2 minutes.

Got our table. Ordered two lettuce wraps with fries (no seasoning) instead
of salad, and Angela got a milkshake. Thought things were fine. And if
you're wondering why no salad, we have big salads waiting for dinner and I
have to watch how much salad I eat.

Things were a little slow. We were offered some fries while we waited. I
initially turned them down but then began to feel ill because I had shot my
insulin and not eaten. I was tempted to eat some ketchup.

I then flagged down the waitress and said we would take the fries. We never
got them.

Food came. Two veggie burgers. I said, "No. Not what we ordered." Tried
to say what we had ordered but was cut off by the waiter who immediately
walked away.

Food came again. Lettuce wrapped veggie burgers. Now if we weren't
avoiding soy, I might have taken them. But I have no clue what the carb
count is in those things.

Eventually got the food and the meal was free. That part was nice, but it
wasn't a good meal overall, despite all the waiting. Don't think we'll go
there again.
