Would you wait
So last night I went out for the first time with my group there were 2 places we could pick from to go too guess what everyone picked the same pub and we had to wait 2 hours for food would you wait that long or would you have gone home
|
Would have left. Considers thirty minutes too long. (Assumes learning the rough wait time upon arriving.)

For a minute I had trouble understanding your post. Basically would you wait for 2 hours for your to-go meal, right?
My answer: absolutely not. In fact, that's really unacceptable considered that to-go meals tend to be done quicker if you order them "asap", unless you placed it ahead of time (say, place an order at 10 a.m. with a deadline of 4 p.m.). Was the pub extremely busy? Did they forget about y'all's food? Then again, they may also be affected by a staff shortage that are pushing orders at a longer wait time. It's not just pubs and restaurants, but it's also everywhere. Otherwise, I would have gone full-Karen mode (ok maybe not) and asked for some sort of a discount for your inconvenience. I wouldn't go home if you already paid for your order, anyway. |
Nah. My time is valuable and I've never waited longer than about 40 minutes at an extremely busy restaurant for my food. Typically, they get back to me in about 20 and that's far more reasonable imo. I don't even wait too long at a doctor's office before I start complaining. I'll only accept a long wait time at the Devil's Bunghole- I mean the DMV.

if the wait is more than 30 minutes I'm out.
|
For us, going out for food is usually "less for food" and more for the social aspect, so waiting a long time is fine.
|
No. I would politely ask about it after ~45mins but if nothing happens after that I would just politely ask for a refund, explain my reasoning and just go elsewhere.

I'd have just gotten up and left after about 30-45 minutes.

The only way I would wait that long for food is if it was chicken and waffles from Fancys Southern Cafe in Ft. Myers, Florida. So no. I wouldn't have. But you do you
|
I’d have starved after 50 minutes

Probably not. After 45 minutes I would have politely asked but if after that if it goes over an hour I would have said something and probably just paid for my drinks and left.
|
if i paid for it, i ask for the refund 40 mins in. if i didn't, anything longer than 30 mins is a nah from me. i can always go somewhere else that's less busy, and in turn give the staff one less to stress over.
i don't normally eat my first meal until i'm hitting starvation (14+ hours) so if i can avoid waiting too long once the food mood strikes i'll do it. |
