This was once my favorite place for breakfast. I've been going to Sammy's since it was in the strip mall on Duncan and Kirby. I've regularly brought my family there for breakfast (ten of us). Never again. I do crossword puzzles and bring a book into a restaurant to work on while I await my food. Occasionally, between bites, I'll fill in a word. I never dally over the puzzle, especially if a restaurant is busy. I have been in many crowded restaurants and was able to eat and do my puzzle without incident. This morning, I was half way through my meal and chewing on my food when I stopped to write in a word. The owner came to me and said he had customers waiting and I should hurry. Sorry, but I like to chew my food between bites. Had he bothered to notice, he would have seen that I did not, at any time, sit there filling out the puzzle while ignoring my food. My appetite lost, I went to pay and told him I did not appreciate his actions. He was completely unapologetic and basically said I could take my business elsewhere. Huh? Okay, I shall. So should you.
