Tortilla Jo’s in Anaheim doesn’t want money

We will never attempt to dine at Tortilla Jo’s again.¹

Last Wednesday, I went to the House of Blues (Anaheim) for Scream It Like You Mean It featuring Silverstein and Emery. We got there a bit early to grab dinner before doors open.

We randomly chose Tortilla Jo’s.

There weren’t many customers, so we were seated quickly. The host gave us menus, someone else brought us chips and salsa, and…that’s it.

About 5-7 minutes later, the host that sat us asked, “Are you done looking at the menus?”

“Yes,” I replied.

He took them and walked away. There wasn’t an employee that offered us water or took our order. I counted at least twenty times where an employee or manager² walked by our table. Nobody acknowledged us.

After being there for 23 minutes, we left. (I know the photo shows 18 minutes, but we were there for about five minutes before I started my stopwatch.)

I didn’t want to say anything because of principle. We waited until after the concert for In-N-Out (La Mirada) on our way home — six hours later.

We will never attempt to dine at Tortilla Jo’s again.

I haven’t given their food a chance, but after you finish reading this, can you blame me? ↩
I think he was the manager because he was wearing a long sleeve dress shirt. ↩

Cascades Waterfall

Taylor and Greg [finished] a sociology class at Mt. SAC. For extra credit, their professor had them view cultural diversity by driving all over Los Angeles County and taking their photo at eight locations.

They invited me to come along a couple months ago. I couldn’t say no. It gave me a chance to procrastinate with homework and studying for finals.

I kept my Amod 3080 GPS data logger on the whole time. Thanks to KML Path Distance, it calculated that we traveled 116.759 miles.

I’ll edit this post and link to the Flickr set when I choose, process and upload my favorites from this day.

For now, I hope you dig this planned shot of these two characters¹ looking at the Cascades Waterfall. I find it quite humorous.
