Our unusually pleasant WH experience was shattered by a throw-down between our server, Tamika, and the cook. The cook put Tony’s Scattered, Covered, Diced and Well Done hash browns on my plate, and Tony got my Scattered, Smothered and Covered hash browns.

I thought it would be easiest to simply receive my food as it came. A principle, we have learned through the years, of maintaining peace and harmony at WH. While I don’t like Diced (tomatoes), I was going for the WH Peace Prize, however, Tony insisted that he didn’t like Smothered (onions). Tamika appropriately took them back and told Tony they would make them correctly.

That’s when all hell broke loose as Tamika explained to the cook he needed to make more Scattered, Covered, Diced and Well Done hash browns. He insisted they had been prepared properly. She insisted they were not prepared properly. Both were correct, only the wrong hash browns were placed on the wrong plates. After a throw-down, complete with yelling and screaming, and both Tamika and the cook getting in our face, the cook finally relented and recooked Tony's hash browns.

But that wasn't the end. Tamika pulled the cook into the office to yell at him about yelling at her in front of customers. The cook continued to insist that all we had to do was change our orders.
