Sad, so sad

By


What is this world coming to? First the AIG fools get bonuses, now we have to live without Dede. That's right, we found out that Dede was fired from Blue C today. My heart is heavy. I'm not taking this lying down. I will write, I will call, I will fight for our right to be served by Dede!

Here's the letter I sent to Blue C today:

I am really unhappy. My colleagues and I love Blue C at South Center and visit weekly, if not twice a week. We like the food, but the real reason we go is for the service. Specifically, the service provided by our favorite server Dede.

Today I found out that Dede was terminated by a new manager, apparently over a personality conflict. Are you kidding me? I don't expect you to comment on personnel issues, however this is one of the most ignorant, arrogant and quite frankly, stupidest business decisions I've heard.

I am not related to Dede, but her bubbly personality, attention to detail, flawless service and welcoming smile make her feel like family. Dede made the sushi taste better. Without her today, it tasted sub-par and sad. Shame on Blue C management! I am boycotting Blue C and so are my colleagues.

Food: 1/5 ( I was too sad to eat and a -4 point deduction for no Dede)
Atmosphere: 0/5
Blue C without Dede: 0/5 If this were a song, it would be the saddest song I've got.

The Jack Shack

By R.
We've all been either too busy or too lazy to write about our lunchtime adventures, but know this - we have had lunches - some were fabulous, others were sadly disappointing (Mali Thai) and at least one was down-right scandalous (Joey's). So to make up for the long absence, I'll thrill you with our adventure to: Joeys (their apostrophe is missing, not mine)... Even though I was warned , I had to see it for myself. Joey's is Cowboy Ugly and the Pussy Cat Dolls Lounge all rolled into one, great-big southend jack shack. To get the full effect, we sat in the bar where all the waitresses are 1. Former female strippers, 2. Current female strippers, and 3. Really know how to sex up an entree so you'll want to buy it. At first, I was overcome with the smart, sleek interior design. I felt like I was at The Parker in Palm Springs . The architecture is open and modern, the colors hip, and the booths are sleek. I was so busy ogling the fabulous design that I didn't even s

ACME Bites

By R.
On M's suggestion, B and I went to ACME Bowl for lunch today. I had the veggie burger, and B had the Chipotle burger, both were above average for bowling alley fare, and the service was good, but slow. I suspected that our waiter was also the cook, since he would disappear for periods of time into the kitchen, and come out later with trays of food. While the restaurant was slow (there were only two other tables besides us), the alley was busy with lots of teenagers, single ladies, and divorced fathers with their kids. There was one family whose mother and father were both such bad bowlers that their three sons, ages 8 - 5 were wiping the alleys with them. One final score was Mom: 60, little Johnny: 75. All I kept thinking was - how embarrassing to be so bad at a sport that even a child is better than you. I mean, even though I myself bowl a 65, at least I don't have some toddler hanging around trying to showing me up! Anyway - it was a fun adventure, and outside the norm. B a

The Best In Tukwila

By R.
Today's blog is dedicated to Dede - the best darned waitress this side of the Mississippi. Dede schleps sushi accoutrements to all the hungry people of Tukwila, Monday - Friday at Blue C Sushi in Tukwila. A note to others: no one better mess with her patrons - or there will be hell to pay! While waiting to check out, another waiter attempted to "steal" Dede's table - B and I are wishing him well as he recuperates in intensive care, Haborview. Other than receiving spectacular service, we also received: a mall stalking, an offer to purchase illegal substances at the generic cell phone store, a couple of false signals from the gaydar signal, and an unwelcome, over-zealous sales woman's attention at the Kitchen Store. Food: 5/5 Entertainment: 5/5 Broken gaydar equipment: 0/5
