Secret shopper TGI Fridays
March 10, 2013
My boyfriend and I eat out so often that we are on a first name basis with the wait staff and most of the restaurants in town. We decided to go to some place different and finally decided on TGIFs.

We ordered a second drink and he brought those out right away. About thirty minutes later my boyfriend noticed that two other tables who were seated after us had their food and had their checks.
