The Iceberg Tip, Sending an S.O.S.

[Bux]

Service always runs a far distant second to the food for me. That said, I expect different levels or kinds of service in different places anyway. Some things are basic however. I don't want hot food sitting in front of me when they've yet to set the table with silverware. Along those lines, I was going to ask why one would eat pancakes without syrup, but the real question is how would you eat pancakes without the syrup? You might just as well pour the raw batter on my plate. I can eat a hot dog without mustard if I have to, but what's the point of pancakes without syrup. Bring me the syrup before the fork, please. I can even eat with my hands. Pancakes without syrup? I'll take a pill and a glass of water if all I want is to fill my belly.
