So I go to a new mexican place today.

We sit down and wait for the waitress. I notice that a noticeable amount of time goes by and we don't have chips and salsa.

I start to wonder if this mexican place doesn't serve chips and salsa.

When she comes to take our order, one person still can't decide what they want. We ask for a few more minutes, and I ask for some chips and salsa.

"You only get chips and salsa when you place an order."

Ok. We figure out what we want, order and we get a basket of chips and a very, very tiny ramekin (sp?) of salsa that is only about 1/3 full of salsa.

I ask her, "Could we get a little more salsa?"

She hurridly scribbles while she asks "Extra salsa?"

I say, no. Not extra salsa. Just a normal amount of salsa. She says "Ok extra salsa."

I say "Are you writing on the bill, 'extra salsa' because you want to charge us more to fill that"?

She said, "yes. it costs extra."

I think the only way you can fix that problem is to call a flamer.

I don't understand.

But I told her to forget it. I said we were leaving. So the fifty cents or whatever she was going to charge to fill the salsa wasn't probably a good idea since she probably lost money on the $50 or so worth of food they had already started cooking that we weren't going to eat.

You need to watch more arrested development.

What was this place btw. I'll have to make sure to avoid it.

They weren't going to ladle out your various meat, bean, cheese, vegetable, tortilla combinations for another 15 minutes.

Well she acted like they were doing it right that second. She ran into the kitchen shrieking "stop! stop! stop!"

ICE, it was in "downtown" Ferguson on Florissant Ave.

I drove past that place yesterday I think.

I want to try this place.

edit to say holy [expletive] this sounds awesome:
Tacos de Langosta Maine lobster sautéed in chile-lime butter and served on warm tortillas, topped with mixed greens, caramelized onions and poblano crema, with rice and black beans 9

that does look like the type of place that might do that...or that might not have chips and salsa at all....

BUT I don't mind paying for chips and salsa. It was the whole attitude that I was trying to drain this [expletive] blood or something to get some chips and salsa.
