Pet Peeve of the Week
As a frequent solo diner, one of my biggest peeves is being ignored — especially when no effort is made to start even a brief conversation. I recently celebrated a milestone birthday at an off-Strip steakhouse on a quiet weeknight. Despite noting it on my reservation (and the hostess knowing), my server never asked if it was my first visit or a special occasion, and the manager walked by without a word. The food was good, but there was no connection at all. –Nancy F
