This morning we went out for breakfast at the Original Pancake House and I had to somewhat shame the waitress into giving me a couple of extra strips of bacon.
I ordered a side of bacon with my baked apple cinnamon pancakes and the price of the bacon was close to $4. For $4 I'm expecting at least 4 or 5 strips of pretty good sized bacon.
My order comes out and the waitress slides a plate in front of me with 3 strips of bacon. If they were big, thick strips of bacon I'd have been fine with it but these were 3 average sized pieces of bacon. So I ask, "Is this it? $4 doesn't get you much in here, huh?"
I guess she felt bad because she came out about 5 minutes letter with a few extra strips for me.

And yes, I did tip her for her compassion and generosity.
Aside from the small bacon portion, the place is great. I will admit that they give you huge portions of your main dish. I've eaten their twice and each time I've struggled to finish my meal.
