Our long haired, medium height, red-headed waitress at
Solid Grounds on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, NY sucked so much. She never even refilled our free refill lemonade. When the people behind us, which arrived after us, got their food I was pissed. (e:terry) joked that maybe our waitress had left. haha, right?
About five minutes later at Solid Grounds on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, NY our waitress shows up from the kitchen with her purse on and left the restaurant. What the hell!?
Eventually, some other waitress brought us our food minus the usual salad and potato side (on the menu) that makes $7.50 for an omelette seem reasonable.
Compare this very plain meal from today
with the very same order (e:paul,32837) placed in December of 2006
The salad was under the bread. Both of these same order of the same meal cost $7.50
Solid Grounds on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, NY also no longer have the slab style thick bacon, but have replaced it with ordinary thin bacon for the same price.
I heard some other guy complaining that he was charged for wheat toast that he asked for twice but never received. The girl at the counter actually asked him if he would like the side of wheat to go!
Totally unrelated, while sitting for 45 minutes waiting for my simple Apple Omelette at Solid Grounds on Elmwood in Buffalo, NY I read Artvoice and saw this ad. I can't believe there is a sale on VHS anything as we are in the era leaving normal DVD. Even weirder, is that it is for such a niche market.
We went by Solid Grounds today and it looked like they are out of business. Storefront is empty.
I Personaly think DVDs may and should fail and everyone should go back to VHS. The reason is that you have four formats of DVDs that I know of. This doesn't include some other type of Disc that they used in I think Japan (some dvd's will playthem). This mess get started with sony. Sony makes Blue-Ray discs. Yes they hold more data but A blue ray player only plays blue ray. Then you have Hi-def Discs for people with Hi-def TV's. Then Sony decided that they wanted there PSP's to play DVD's well guess what they are two small to play normal DVD's so they came out with another form of disc. So now when ever a Movie comes out on DVD it has to come out in 4 formats including regular DVD. It is company irresponsibilty to have all these formats. I will admit that some HD DVD's do have non HD stuff on the other side. But what I'm waiting for is #5 and that would be HD Blue Ray who knows sony might even come out with there own TV's that you have to have that same type of player and discs for. The thing about Video Tapes is they are so much better for underground stuff like stuff shot in a basement or a wrestling tape from Japan. There is another DVD issue to. Some new players follow that right protected stuff so some shows they won't record but that isn't the case with VCR's. I won't lie it is really cool the way you can jump around on a DVD like on a CD but you could also do that on laser discs.
I don't know as I have ever ate at solid grounds sorry things where bad there. It sounds like they are disorganised. I have had a waitress go on break or leave and what she did was come right up and tell me that someone would be replacing her. Not to defend them but it sounds like they are cutting corner maybe it is because that part of elmwood is runed down. There are a few store fronts that have been empty for a long time now.
One day, when I am unquestioned overlord over all of humanity and other sundry things, I will make it illegal for any coffee establishment to use the word 'grounds' in their name
Solid Grounds
Common Grounds
Grounds for dismissal
(e:Jim) and I went there about a year ago and I was overwhelmed at how underwhelming everything was about the place.
