Return Of The Dragon

I hate that I'm giving this much space on my blog to my ongoing battle with the folks at the Imperial Dragon, but they are just so haterous that I just can't help myself. So I went back in there the other day because I was jonesing for Chinese food, so much so that I overlooked the lady that hit me with the fried chicken blast last time I was in there, and as well as the fact that their food isn't really that good. This time there were thankfully no stereo types, but two things stuck out to make this a less than favorable experience... 1st I was unable to get fried rice with no vegatables. Apparently it comes pre packaged with vegatables, promting me to ask "how hard is to make fried rice without the prepackaging?" I feel like thats one of the essental dishes to be able to make at a chinese food establishment and if I'm going to spend $8.50 on it after my employee discount, I should be able to get it without veggies. Anyway after being perplexed for a couple minutes I go ahead and suck it up and order some (fried rice) in addition to some sesame chicken. Now for second issure, I ordered this for take out and it takes 30 mins!!! which is the longest I've ever waited inside a chinese food place for an order, but I figure they must be busy so whateves, but what happens next really chaffs my hide. So I get the the ticket for my food and as I'm signing the credit card slip the lady is hovering over me watching me sign it like a student trying to cheat on a math test... I'm thinking "LADY, BACK THE FUCK UP OFF ME!" Now i've gone over my tipping policy in the past, which explains why I did not leave a tip. When the lady sees this she proceeds to chase me down and inform me that I did not leave a tip. I couldn't believe she would have to guall to ask for a tip! It was outrageous... 1st off, even with the employee discount I spent $20 bucks on food that I could have gotten for less than $15 anywhere else, 2nd I couldn't even get my order the way I wanted it (sans veggies) and 3rd I had to come in and get it, because they don't deliever. What about that is tip worthy? I felt compelled to let her know this and she then actually reached in my bag and took away my fortune cookie!!! Couldn't believe it... Needless to say the Imperial Palace is dead to me
