AlleyViper620 05/15/24 7:00:07 PM #14:	Arguably the greatest service I've ever had in a restaurant was years ago during endless shrimp at Red Lobster. The waitress was bringing them out faster than I could eat them. I was shocked because normally it feels like they're deliberately rate limiting me, probably to avoid the issues in the OP. --- This space intentionally left blank. <cite>AlleyViper620 posted [p:980411066] in Too Much S...
