The manager obviously had enough awareness to not allow a 'fine' to pass by her but sadly made the mistake of not stopping at "Thanks for the feedback". A seasoned manager would've scored brownie points by unceremoniously removing the pie from the check.

We were at a favorite restaurant last night. It was unusually busy and the why was obvious shortly after we sat down - almost every server was brand new with neither the owner nor seasoned servers nearby. We debated leaving and chose instead to imagine it a relaxed eating experience. The normally hour-long dinner last nearly two hours, had to ask for the drink refill, and optimized by asking for the check and to-go containers when the (very harried) server came by to check on us. Chose not to complain, not to penalize on gratuity, and just enjoyed the dinner as it happened. Though I failed to say it earlier -- the food was stellar and slowing down kept us from overeating. Bonus - One of the seasoned servers, helping in the back, spotted me and just brought the fried jalapenos rolled in chili pepper that I crave with my food without being asked.
