We went to the Spaghetti Factory in Tacoma, Wa the other day, we typically get over that way about once a week.  We had a waitress that was absolutely terrible.  I won’t mention her name here but it rhymes with booth and the first letter is an “R.”  She’s an older lady with glasses.  She’s been waiting there for a while since we’ve been going for the past year or more I have seen her a handful of times.  She started to take our order then proceeded to ask my 11 year old daughter how old she was as she attempted to order.  My daughter said that she was 11 going on 12 and the waitress said that she would have to pick different food since she was too old to order from the kid’s menu that the hostess had provided her with.  My daughter felt uncomfortable and told me she didn’t want to eat at all now.  I ended up ordering and sharing with my child.  The waitress asked if I wanted to hefty size my meal since we were sharing, I told her, “No!”  I ordered hot tea and she brought me the tea bags and hot water, I proceeded to make a cup of tea.  She came and picked up our salad plates next and then started to remove the rest of the tea bags from the table, when I asked her if she could leave the tea she said she could not but if I wanted to take a bag I could.  I felt like she was really pushing buttons here, I know everything she was doing was probably “by the book” but it just felt riduculous.  It was pretty obvious that she was trying to get the bill as high as she could so she would get a higher tip.  She kept asking if we wanted to upsize things and telling us what we could and could not do etc.  We felt very strange about the whole ordeal.  I will not be frequenting this restaurant again for a long while.  Another thing that is annoying about the Spaghetti Factory in Tacoma Wa is that there is paid parking outside.  This is Tacoma people, it’s the Spaghetti Factory, it is not a 5 star restaurant, and this is not a major metroplois.  I would rather go to Joespeepi’s where they tell us they are “Happy to Have Us” every time we eat there.  Joe is always friendly and the food there is just as good as The Old Spaghetti Factory in Tacoma, WA.  Joeseppi’s is on North 26th and Pearl Street in Tacoma, WA and their number is 253-761-5555.  Might I reccommend the ravioli with the duo which is both red and white sauces and the spaghetti there is great also.  If you get it to go ask to have the sauce in a seperate container from the noodles so it doesn’t get messy in the bag.
