It's deep, not wide. The sound is pretty good.

of the smaller places, I guess I just add the Canal Club.

I've occasionally wondered what happened to the space that was Alley Katz. Pretty cool, intimate place.

Enjoy your dinner! Try with fava beans and a nice chianti.

You are correct, but I definitely take cattle corn over starving.

But it's all good, the OP copped to being a minotaur so he's going to have a lifetime supply of Athenian virgins to munch on.

Any chance you've recently had a run-in with King Minos?

If only there was some sort of food to forage in that corn maze...

Nah. I'm sure there are many, though. This is a place that usually has decent service, so I didn't want to call them out. My impression of the place is that when they are fully staffed and it isn't too busy they do great, but management has a tough time keeping things moving and the servers focused when things get busy.

I will give a shout out to the place we ended up at, Industrial Taphouse (Hanover/Atlee/Ashland). Excellent burger, cold beer, and really solid service.

This happened to me (white) twice within the past week.

In the first case, a local tavern in the 'burbs seemed overwhelmed and understaffed. My partner and I just left our table and went to a nearby, nearly identical place and had great service.

The second time was with a friend at a busy watering hole in the Fan. After a good long while, I politely let the hostess know we were still waiting for a server. We were taken care of promptly with lots of apologies that the servers made an error about who had the table and we had good service.

I didn't make any assumptions about it being due to any of my individual characteristics. I know racism exists and hope that wasn't what happened to the guy referenced by OP.

I think someone else mentioned Hangry Joe's. The medium clicked all the boxes for me, but may not be hot enough for a real fan of the heat.

Good luck on your quest. It's not hard to make a really hot sauce. Trick is to balance it so it still has flavor and the heat hits your whole body and gives you the sweats.

Sounds like I need to take a trip to this post office and check it out for myself.

I bet it is! I'm sorry your brother is struggling and that it's affecting you as well. It's nice that you have a relationship with him despite it.

I am a licensed mental health professional and have experience working with institutionalized and community-residing individuals with schizophrenia, among other disorders.

You are focused on the bigoted comments, I'm looking at all the details and the context, which includes my knowledge of federal HR and ADA where it pertains to employee mental health.

Of course I don't have enough information to make a diagnosis, which is why I said it "sounds like" schizophrenia. I rarely comment on diagnoses on reddit, but if OP's description is accurate, I stand by my impression.

Sounds like the clerk has schizophrenia and is having a break or maybe stop taking his medication. He may be able to hold it together when his postmaster is standing at his shoulder, but not all day long. The postmaster probably knows something is up but needs to catch something like this in person or have a complaint filed (Not an online review).

Managers worst nightmare. Write a letter to the postmaster about your experience so it's in writing. You'll be doing everybody a favor.
