I was so bad, I actually succeeded in getting fired, which was almost impossible. I wrote about my career here: <a href="http://thebluehammer.com/articles/waiter.html" rel="nofollow">http://thebluehammer.com/articles/waiter.html</a> BTW the owner was a drunken anti-semite who eventually killed himself.

One morning, I waited there for 45 minutes+ for our food and our waitress never came to check on us. Then when I caught eyes with her, she had an, "Uh oh," look. She forgot to enter our order, but then didn't say anything to us or apologize when it was an added half-hour on the first 45. Then, I mistakenly ordered the Eggs Brando, which was eggs in soupy marina sauce. It was sick. So, I decided I'd only go there for drunken nights.. and hopefully a Dutch Baby. Cause should you really expect great service and excellent food at 3am in an all-night diner? I have to jump on the terrible service and mediocre food bandwagon.

The food was often terrible and the service next to nonexistent. The only things it had going for it were location, hours and the dutch babies. That they survived as long as they did is kind of amazing. Unfortunately, I can’t mourn Minnies. The food was often terrible and the service next to nonexistent.
