       I once had an experience where the meal took an incredibly long
       time, but not for want of wait staff. We could see waitresses
       running around, getting salads out and making sure everyone had
       drinks and refills. But the food being placed on the pass (we
       could see it from our table) was intermittent, if even that.
       Finally, when our waitress came by to check our drinks and
       reassure us that our food should be out shortly, I asked if
       there was a problem in the kitchen. She paused and then said,
       "Only one cook showed up tonight." Fortunately, all salads were
       prepped and so the waitresses were able to handle that. But this
       was on a Friday night, and the restaurant had advertised an All
       You Can Eat Fish special.
       Those poor waitresses! I left a huge tip because they were
       trying so hard to make it work. (We also witnessed two
       waitresses arguing in hissing tones over whose spaghetti dinner
       that was sitting on the pass, the one with the older order
       claimed it).
       On the other hand, we have never gone back to that restaurant.
       They may still be open, at least there is still a sign on the
       building.
