Last week, with a craving for Indian food, a friend and I headed out to a local Indian restaurant. When we arrived there were barely a couple of other people in the place, and so the hostess told us we had our choice of seats. After we sat down, a male server came by to take our order. After the meal was served, a female server came by to see whether everything was satisfactory. And then a different female server came by to see if "everything was OK." And then the male server came by. And then one of the female servers came by. And then the other female server came by. And before we were even done with the meal, one of the female servers asked if we needed a box for our food. My friend and I were left wondering if they needed the table (although a good half the restaurant was empty).

I lost count, but we were asked if everything was OK at least six times. We should all expect to get asked one time if everything is ok and then closer to the end of the meal, to ask whether we want to have food boxed up, dessert, check, etc. But this restaurant took follow up and checking in to a level that was beyond annoying. They interrupted us so many time, without cause. There was way too much of a good thing, turning it into a bad thing.
