Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, guests can no longer search the forum or view user accounts. At some point in the future Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability and the lifting of these restrictions. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

Today's Pet Peeve

Today's Pet Peeve:

LOUD music intended to be "background" music but is so d@mn loud that you have to "raise your voice" to talk to somebody sitting TWO FEET AWAY.

Today's lunch was at Outback Steakhouse.
A place I have avoided in the past ON ACCOUNT OF "loud background music".
Today was actually so PERFECT that I requested the manager to visit our table.
I complimented him on the volume setting of the BACKGROUND music.

He went on to probably tell the whole table more than he was quote-unquote "supposed to".
He's been managing for only a week and informed us that the background music system has TWO settings.
One nice and quiet and soft for the LUNCH (noon) crowd and one a bit louder for EVENING when there are 50/80 people dining instead of 10/20.
And told us that the previous manager was "let go" because she kept it at the EVENING setting ALL THE TIME.
Even the wait staff was complaining that they were getting orders wrong because they couldn't hear over the D@MN "background" music.
