Saturday is slow in the dining room-

Feb 25. 012.  Once this month I got no service at breakfast!  I went to my room and ate from the refrigerator.   Another Saturday we waited an hour for breakfast.  For some reason our regular waiters do not come in on Saturday. Yesterday, the cook helped serve coffee (at one dinner this week the book-keeper  was serving coffee!) and we were eating after a forty-five minute wait. So at an early lunch yesterday I saw one waitress on the floor, and Jerry and I were due at the opera "Ernani" in Springfield at 12-55 PM-  So Jerry and I went quickly to Frisches for a hot soup and did get to the opera on time.  At dinner I asked Shanda if she was the only server at lunch and she said "Yes".  Jerry and I had a good dinner at 5.30 no problem. I now take a newspaper with me to deal with delays at meal time.
