Semi-rant while I’m waiting on my wife to get ready so we can go meet one of her clients for an early-ish dinner and drinks.
Made a reservation a few days ago for tomorrow night at a Japanese/sushi place that’s supposed to be really good over on the west side of Atlanta. Wake up this morning to an email saying they canceled it. No call, no hey we can do 30 minutes earlier or an hour later, just canceled.
I booked it through an app tied to my Amex, so I called concierge. They couldn’t get anybody because the restaurant wasn’t open yet, but said they’d keep trying. Around 3:30 they call me back and magically my 6 PM reservation is back. Apparently the restaurant admitted they canceled it but wouldn’t really say why.
Maybe I’m paranoid, but part of me wonders if they needed the table for somebody else and figured if I didn’t complain, oh well. Who knows. Either way that kind of stuff annoys me. At least call the person before you just cancel their reservation. Props to Amex though, they handled the whole thing and got it fixed.
And yes, some may ask why I’m making anniversary plans only a few days beforehand. If you knew my wife, she wouldn’t even remember our anniversary if I didn’t remind her every year, so I’m actually doing pretty damn good here considering I’m usually the one who forgets everything. Sunday is our anniversary, so the plan is sushi Saturday night, Laughing Skull for comedy, then staying at our usual spot in Midtown. And yes, I double checked the hotel reservation and the tickets for the show.

I fucking hate that crap. 'We've got some one we need to suck up to who can we dump?". I'd have written them a shittomail and told them exactly why I was never going back, they do not deserve your business.....
If we had taken an order and then decided that we needed that item for someone else and canned the order with no explanation, we deserve to never hear from the customer again and suffer all the attendant reputational damage.

I e got a pre Father’s Day family gathering tonight, the unwise idiots that is 1/2 my family decided it would be a good idea to book a place that normally would have been a good idea
However it’s Aussie rules finals season here and 10 min walk from the venue is the stadium and there is a game on tonight which has sold outI’m just going to start drinking now
