See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I over-tipped out of annoyance.
You're just reinforcing. That is maddening, the not getting small bills back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dude. "Can I get change" means "can I get the change broken down into smaller units". Not "can I get back the difference between this and the total on the bill". That part comes by default unless otherwise stated!
God, I know, right? But then I started talking to myself about how she needs the $2 more than I do, BUT STILL. It's not like I got a lot of service.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

that's very sweet of you. not getting the change I asked for is a pet peeve of mine that often results in the server getting a much crummier tip than I had originally intended. Yours was lucky to have you.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I finally ate at Applebee's! And it was delicious.
Harrumph. What did you eat? And where was this supposedly good chain restaurant in the city? I went to a TGI Fridays once in Manhattan. And it was the sketchiest, most depressing place I have ever been to in New York. When we got there, the police had already shown up.

Seeing those chains walking around...oh hell, I don't know where we were, somewhere in the place I generically call NYC... was odd. I don't know why entirely. Maybe that they weren't standalone structures so much as jammed into some space.

Queens! And I had a buffalo chicken sandwich. The bread was somewhat insufficient, but still.
That TGIFriday's by Penn Station? I've walked in and out of there at least once.

I have to say, when traveling, I usually go to chains. Because while I've had some wonderful meals in random non-chain restaurants, I've also had some awful ones. So I'd often rather go for "acceptable" than risk "gross" (ie "The Worst Mexican Food Ever, In Oklahoma City")
Plus, most of those low price type chains (applebees, outback, whatever) have beefed up their takeout options, which I love if I don't feel like sittign there and just want to go back to teh hotel.

That's the one. We had seen a movie down there, and there's nowhere to eat down there, and we didn't know any better. Nowadays I guess I would go to Keen's, would have cost about as much as that dump.

There's an Applebees in Battery Park City, just north of the World Financial Center.
