The HENRY ‘3 strike rule’ – Chili’s FAILED us – for the last time.
Beck and I’ve a 3 strike rule. If we go to a restaurant and it’s bad, bad food or we get bad service; it’s a strike against them. If we go back to this place 2 more times and they continue to suck, after the 3 time, we don’t go back again.
We believe in giving a place a chance; everyone/place can have an off day.
So years ago, Beck and I used to go to Chili’s a lot for their chicken crispers. It was the huge strips/pieces of chicken and the honey mustard they had for the platter; it comes with fries and corn too- but anyways.
But I guess we had a bad run and Chili’s failed our 3 strikes rule and this was before Ethan was born, so at that point I was tired of throwing my money at this place when all they did was disappoint us- so we said never again.
Well, recently I’ve been passing this Chili’s on the way to work and was wondering if they had gotten any better.
Yesterday [around 2:30pm], we decided to go eat and I decided to go to Chili’s to give them a try [again]. Welp, they didn’t disappoint me, they’re the same crappy place with the same crappy service and the platter that I liked [past tensed] so well has gotten smaller [while the price has gone up].
We walked in [it wasn’t busy], the host starts off by giving us 4 adult menus, well it’s 3 and a child. Then she goes to seat us at a table with crap [straw wrappers, food, crayons, straws, etc] still under the table. We asked for a booth, there’s several open, but she asks us to go back and wait in the waiting area [erm ok].
We [Beck and I] went over to the new house on Tuesday for another short walk through. The people we’re buying the house from is/wasn’t back yet and we were going to over to see about a few little issues, and geek me wanted to make sure the projector worked [it does].
