"XS on Charles Street SUCKS ASS

Went there the other day with a friend, was seated by a host
and then waited and waited for a server.

We sat there as two or three servers walked by, never said hi, but they looked at us, never said "we'll be with you soon" (they were a little busy - but nothing extra-ordinary).

So finally, after about 18 minutes or so we left.

Not surprisingly, despite a server noticing our departure, they said nothing.

What the fuck!

XS YOU ALL SUCK ASS - Please keep up the sorry ass service...
and maybe a business person that cares about the customer can take over your lease when you fold - dipshits!"

Ate there in the morning the other day and was less then impressed. We should start up a death pool on Baltimore restaurants, bars and clubs.
As a matter of fact I think this is a great idea. Make up a little letterhead (like a skull and crossbones and such) and when a business is selected in the death pool send the business some mail on the letterhead that might read something like this:

Dear XS,

We are happy to inform you that you have been selected in the Charm City Death Pool. It has been wagered that you will be out of business within 6 to 8 months because of your less than satisfactory commitment to service. Hope you live out the rest of your days in business in good health.
Yours Truly,
The Charm City Death Pool"

I was undecided about XS until last night. Got take out. It took them 35 fucking minutes to make ten pieces of sushi. With the exception of its height (poor waiters and waitresses) the decor is right off of the assembly line. The music they were playing sounded like what I used to hear as a customer of the Haircuttery. The service, less than friendly.

I might go there to get a coffee and/or dessert (they ain't bad), but I won't go out of my way.

As an aside, the one waitress has amazing breasts."

charm city death pool...i'm in! their comments might be sophomoric, but they're all true.
