In a good restaurant I would hope that they would take the initiative to make some sort of amends for the error at the time of the meal. As the customer, I don't know if I want to make the evening uncomfortable for my party, the waiter, the surrounding diners, etc. by kvetching to the manager. In this day and age where the pretzel vendor has a website and an email address, I would probably be firing up an email to the restaurant once home, after quietly letting them know they'll be hearing from me when paying the bill. The only catch there is you'll probably be given a discount on the next visit. As you stated, do you even want to try that establishment again?

Does anyone remember the Genessee Beer commercials from the mid 80s that mixed funny dialogue with clips from old and obscure movies? The catch phrase was 'boy, could I go for a Genny now'. I wrote Genessee a few years ago asking about the commercials, they did their damnedest to distance themselves from that era in their reply.

Art's was awesome. I worked at Gabel's for those years, a block away.
Whatever cash I didn't spend from my job that didn't go to Art generally went across the bar at Gabels for liquid refreshment. Wednesday nights, California coolers, 50 cents. Ah, to be young again.

Long gone now, but the mid to late 70s had Art's Hoagie Hut on Hertel Avenue near Colvin. Art and his brother Tony had apparently run Artones in South Buffalo, then Art came northside to start the Hoagie Hut. Sausage and capacolla subs, steak hoagies, all excellent.

They sure do push the daylights out of that Game Time 550 beer. Even worse is the spot where the two 'beer experts' are describing the beer's merits and characteristics.
Also annoying is how commercials are now edited, so there's virtually no space between words. The annoying girl who pesters me to look up Scott Caldwell for my GEICO insurance comes to mind.
Edited to add a commercial for some day spa that ran during the holiday season in 2016 or 2017 where the ever earnest 'Buddy Schula' was describing the disappointment in his wife's face when he got her passes for a 'lesser' spa. It was only later I discovered 'Buddy Schula' is an invented character. Damn near hired Celino and Barnes to sue the asshat for false advertising!

Assistant: "OK Gronk, claim form filled out. Just sign you name."
Gronk: "What's my name?"
Assistant:"R-O-B G-R-O-N-K-O-W-S-K-I"
Gronk: "How do you make an 'R'?"

Although Mr. Reich isn't the sort to do so, the Eagles' win does give him many more rights to flash his Super Bowl ring than Wrecks Ryan.. Congratulations to a role model and one of the good guys.

Why God, WHY?
We'll all be asking that if they give him another radio show...

Ah, haven't thought about those in years. Last one I had was in Niagara Falls in 2000.
Plus the little bowls of warm water and lemon when you're done! Amazing meals back in the day.
Ah, yes. Lemon slice soup. We found them quite the after dinner dish, but many of the Canadian restaurants are no longer offering...

I think a lot of today's NFL players might benefit from 'Coach' Reynolds' philosophy...

Bill Murray...classic movie, love it! I watch it a couple times on this day every year.
Don't drive angry!

I delivered papers in the early 60's on Lebrun and Labrun Circle and those people were the worst tippers and really cheap. They live in a different world.
Well, which one? The real one, or the Buffalo Evening News?

This doesn't surprise me at all. The guy can't keep his mouth shut and has no filter. Never has and never will. Most coaches would move on and not burn bridges, especially when he's still getting paid millions by the guys that fired him. You'd hope he'd have a bit more respect for the players he coached (re "don't wish them luck" comment), but that's hoping for too much from Rex.
Here here! Might I respectfully suggest Wreck's next 'buy out' installment be in pennies, delivered in a wheelbarrow.

Hope they called a bus.
To paraphrase Chief Brody, "You're going to need a bigger bus..."

Were any of those 14 in charge of counting how many Bills were on the field?

Make the Ryans Great Again
Well, perhaps President Trump can revive the President's Council on Physical Fitness. Wrecks and Wobb as fitness czars, riding that damned tandem bicycle to an event near you. For an extra $20, Wrecks will wear the Clemson helmet.
-
As I have said since day 1, this was a bad hire and Rex is a f'kin clown. Now he goes and proves it. Just wish I had the clownlike ability to grab 15 mil for not working.
The joke's on Wrecks...when he goes to file for unemployment benefits, that 15 million will bite him on the backside.

It is a little known fact that 78% of all statistics are made up.
60% of the time, it works every time...(thank you, Brian Fantana)

The calculation assumes:
"For mathematical purposes, that calculation assumes each team had an equal chance of qualifying for the postseason each year."
Come on.. that isn't the way sports works at all. You are failing to account for good players, coaches, management, etc. This random number is meaningless to me.
Another reason I don't let ESPN do my taxes.

Lends even more credence to my Richie Kotite meanderings. Nobody did 'confused' better than Coach Kotite of the 1996 NY Jets.
-
It might be gone already. Someone I know in Rochester saw him driving down by RIT in a small white chevy car. Makes sense he would try and ditch the truck outside of Buffalo to avoid press.
That might have been Rob after a haircut, trying to throw off the hordes chasing Wrecks.
-
what's the towing capacity? rex and rob kinda heavy?
Might need new springs and shocks after ferrying around Wrecks, Rob, and their load of BS...

Words to the wise to the search committee: He's tanned, rested, and ready: Richie Kotite.

Some things never change...go watch a house league game for baseball, soccer, football or hockey at the younger ages...one big dust ball of arms and legs chasing the ball or puck. Except, of course, for the kid picking their nose in right field.
