24. Shit. I haven't eaten at a Denny's in twenty fucking years.

No plans to ever again. I even avoid like the plague our local equivalent, Shari's. About 15 years ago, I was having a salad at a local Shari's when I found shards of glass in the salad bowl. I don't think I ingested any, or things might have been much worse. I called the manager over and showed him the glass shards in the bowl. His response was basically 'how intriguing', then took the bowl, and wandered away, never to be seen again. No apology, no comping the meal, nothing.

For inexpensive casual dining, I always patronize a local business. I've gotten to know and like the owner/managers, I get better food and service, and I'm supporting the local business community.

Denny's sucks...
