| Nashville Hot Chicken |
Good Stuff Eatery is one of my favorite burger joints in town (Spike's Sunnyside is a work of art) but even the best have bad days; and (sadly) today was one of those days. I stopped by the Georgetown location to grab an early dinner, just before 6. When I arrived, there was nobody else in line. If you've ever been, you know this is the exception to a normally busy, busy rule. After exchanging hellos, I placed an order for two new menu items... The
Nashville Hot Chicken burger and one of two new hand spun shakes (
Black Forest.) GSE offers a Good Stuff Deal ($6.95 for a Snack Fry and Mini Shake, a savings of $.69.) I asked if I could swap out the Fries for Onion Petals, and the cashier had to ask his colleague for a ruling. Long story short, no dice. He went ahead and rang up the Onion Petals ($3.69, almost a dollar more than the fries.) Not so fast, I was genuinely confused by the explanation (which included an offer of a courtesy cup of water in place of a soda I didn't order) and asked for the Snack Fry instead. Several misclicks later, I was charged the proper amount ($16.06 + tax.) From there, I was instructed to select a tip on the iPad-like touchscreen. Talk about awkward, as the cashier stared at me to see if I was (presumably) cheap or not. Ever hear of a tip jar? My advice? Erase this option immediately. For the record, I coughed up 10% for what would be a less than sterling meal.
