I’ve written about the Skylark Diner in a previous blog post. I’ve dined there on several occasions and love their food, whether it’s the roasted chicken with mashed potatoes & green beans or the Mexicali chicken burger with avocado/cheese/pico de gallo & chick pea salad.
This time, we chose to use their online ordering service. I am wary of trusting technology without having to speak to a person. You can’t count on machines to do it all. Not yet at least until the androids rise up.
But I digress. The Skylark Diner online ordering system failed. I went to pick it up and the order did not go through all the way. It didn’t print out at the restaurant, although the manager I saw received an email indicating my order had come in.
What did the guy do? He rushed the order and threw in 2 free desserts without even asking. I wasn’t even going to prod into getting a freebie, but Beth loves cheesecake and I wanted to try the flourless chocolate torte (which was pretty heavenly). I love how they go above and beyond to be my favorite diner, even though it’s on the expensive side.
