103. The two hour wait got me as well

Mon Aug 26, 2013, 10:16 AM

Aug 2013

If I didn't make reservations or if a restaurant doesn't take reservations I think 30 minutes-40 minutes (tops) is the longest I'm willing to wait for a seat.

Life's too short to spend 2 hours waiting to get a seat in a chain restaurant.
