To the WiseGuy from 'Joisey'...
Years ago I worked in the restaurant biz, and I know what it's like to work in a tiny place that's always jumping.
Regardless of how busy a restaurant may be, there is NO EXCUSE for rude behavior and bad service. PERIOD. Those of us who are Native Portlanders have little tolerance for such behavior--and I say, sir, that it is to our credit.
Since you're from the NYC/Jersey area, no doubt you are accustomed to such behavior and even regard it as 'normal'. Too bad, I say, that the cultural necessity of civility is lost on you. Do us all a favor and keep your 'Joisey' manners and philosophy to yourself...we're not buying it here.
Pros: Not many
Cons: Incredibly rude behavior from waitstaff
