Sort of maybe a restaurant review/confidence level meter
Over the last five years or so, I've been becoming a lot more independent and confident. I'd rank myself high actually on the confident list. I had an experience today that set me back a bit.
I was visiting a local restaurant in Green Hills, one that I expected to be a sit down, have someone bring you water and your meal restaurant. I entered and it was complete chaos. There were two lines and I wasn't sure which one to be in and neither were the fuckers in front of or behind me and I sure the fuck wasn't gonna go around asking the whole damn place.
So I finally merged to the front and the guy took my order and within 60 seconds he was handing me my food and off I went. I didn't know where to pay, when I should pay. I was oblivious. So I sat down and ate that shit, looking up from my Nashville Scene (Britta's Cover Story) to see whether I was about to be condemned for eating a meal that I had yet to pay for. I sat at a table for four, yet I was the only one and I felt that I was being scolded for taking up a whole table.
Needless to say, I didn't like the experience. It was uncomfortable and so not relaxing. I can tell you from that experience alone that I'm not a "fast-paced" type of person. I like slow, relaxed, take yoga and sip on green tea type of gal.
So, for the restaurant food, EXCELLENT ( had tamato soup and chicken salad pita). Must try, Kalamatas YUMMY! The atmosphere (which it was a local lunch rush) no so much.

I'm proud of you, I'm not strong enough to sit alone at a resturant. I feel sorry for people that I see eating alone.

You shouldn't feel sorry for them. If they are there, alone, they want to be there. Otherwise they would have warmed themselves up a Hungry Man.

So you ate without paying? Heehee. I don't mind eating alone in a restaurant. Like Amy said, most of the time, they're there because they don't want to be bothered. Although I'm more of a fast food kind of person.
