what makes people cheap? part 2
Habibi, I agree with you 100% on that coleslaw deal! Ive got one for you, check this out... There is this Greek restaurant 3 blocks from my house(convenient), my family and I usually eat there at least once a week, my wife and I for breakfast (after the kids are at school when Im off during the week) at least twice a week( really good breakfast...2 eggs, 3 pancakes, bacon, hashbrowns, and coffee for $3) anyway... we were there one evening for dinner and I ordered a half of a meatball sub, I have gotten this several times, very good, at least 8 meatballs on a 6"-7" sub. Well I opened it up because it looked kinda thin and it had 2 meatballs on it sliced in half for a total of 4 meatball halves!!! I complained to the waitress who took it back and told the owner who said he could put more on it but I would have to pay extra! I didnt eat it , I didnt pay for it, and have not been back!!! I am planning to go back and see if the owner was on crack that night or what and if not I will definately have a "Habibi" moment!!!

The problem with Greek restaurants is that they are staffed with 2 or 3 brothers, and maybe a couple of cousins.
Maybe Nikos was the one who made you the good sub before, and when you had the bad one, it was his cheap brother Tikos who lost a bundle at the off-track on the previous night.
When Nikos and Tikos are both wearing a dirty white apron, they look very similar from 20 feet away.
If I were you, I would only eat there when Nikos is working.
We have a similar problem in our town.
The local greasy spoon is run by 2 Greek brothers (Gus the bus, and Dimitri the Liar)
We only eat there when Gus is working because Dimitri breaks the yolks, and burns the toast.
From a distance they look like identical twins, short, fat, long side-burns, so what we do now is circle the parking lot.
If we see the blue Cadillac, we know Gus is working, if we see the red Cadillac, then we head for the hills.

and to think I used to just make sure the waitresses look healthy, and the cook is fat. Never trust a skinny cook, and always question the generousity with regard to portion sizes of a restruant where all the waitresses are thin.
