Chisholm- an area of Montgomery near the fair grounds. Just another way of saying "Cue the circus music."
There is certainly truth to this.
I dine alone all the time. What bothers me is the wait staff's attitude towards me, a single woman. I noticed this in some restaurants in Walton County. Though I am polite, I am still given sub-standard treatment: ignored, no bread, no drink refill, check comes before dessert offer, check slapped on table with no smile, no eye contact.
It is assumed that I will leave little or no tip since it is believed that women do not know how to tip, so any effort on my behalf is futile.Also, I imagine the sight of a single woman dining alone looks pathetic and may hurt their business, so I am seated in a dark corner.
Ha, now I bring post-it notes with me, and whenever I get bad service, I leave a note explaining why I left a minimal tip, if any at all. Otherwise, I leave generous tips for great service. When I return, they DO remember how well I treated them and they treat me right.

I love dining at both the upstairs and downstairs bars at Bud And Alleys. I like to sit there and write in my journal over bottomless glasses of tea and those sweet potato fries.
I also appreciate sushi bars who put up a sign, ?No cell phones, please.?
This is a great thread revival- thanks Tupelo! And
!
I just re-read the whole thread- it appears that Rapunzel found us here!
For better or worse- you are stuck with us now!
I remember this heated discussion - should one read while dining out alone? Has anyone had any good dining alone experiences since last year?
