text alert waitlisting and the demise of buzzcoasters

[Hagbard Celine 10498]

so tonight, went to chuys on 183.  figured, thursday night, no problemo.  overrun by the hoardes.  1 hour.   and now there are no more buzzcoasters,, they want my cell to alert me when my table is ready.  fuck that shit.

check traffic, 20 minutes to matt's, haven't been there in forever, call them, they say "20 minute wait".  no problem.  race down mopac, deal with fucktards at the jughandle on to south lamar, get a good parking spot, only 10-15 minutes for a table.  great!   but again, they want a cell, and mine was given without my concurrence or agreement.  so now they've got my cell, it's loud, i can't hear texts coming in, so at minute 15 i start refreshing the cell every 30 seconds.

are we there yet?

are we there yet?

are we there yet?

it ended up being 35 minutes..  i interrogated the inked cholas managing this malign fiesta, who have no answer for how 10 minutes morphed in to 30.

i fucking hate having to hold my phone to my face in public like the fucktard Z's and millenis.  they look like ass when they do it.  and here i am, in 2018 forced to deal with this shit because the system used to store this "table reservation data" probably pays the fucking restaurants for your cell-food latlong.

FUCK THAT SHIT.  i'm not doing it anymore..  my cell phone is COMPARTMENTALIZED in the name of NATIONAL SECURITY..

MY NATIONAL SECURITY.

cazart.

end of line.

Wait for tables? Chyaah. Eat at the bar. The kids will learn stuff.

It’s hard to have sympathy for someone who thinks driving 20 minutes+indefinite wait was a good decision to begin with.

Yeah, Chuy’s always overestimates, too...would have been actually eating sooner than Matt’s adventure.

The pro move here is drinks at Brickhouse, phone on the bar so you can see it,  come back, FYI.

Does your cell not vibrate? It seems like all of Austin has switched to this.

Thread title is like the title of an upcoming Kinky Friedman detective novel.

Hagbard to Austin restaurants:  Take your stinking paws off my cell phone you damn dirty apes!

Or a post-modern novel by a third-rate David Foster Wallace.

That’s what you get for eating at either one of those places.

That's not good thinking, at all.

[Native Horn 3465]

I call bullshit on 20 minutes from Chuy's 183 to Matt's.  

But I hope you had a large Bob to help alleviate your anxiety.

[Felix 605]

I can't believe you think anybody who wants your cell phone can't get it any time they choose.  I'm all for privacy but let's get real.  Your shit is out there and anybody can get it.

this is an authentic frontier gibberish rant of the highest order.

Dilly Dilly to you sir!----- go have another Bud Light
