YO QUIERO TACO BELL!!!

If you noticed that there was no TP before you even sat down, why
didn't you leave the restroom, and contact the manager (or any female
employee, even!) about that? I'm sure any of them would have been
happy to re-stock the TP for you! I don't feel this is a valid
complaint, since you noticed the problem, and you knew you were at
that "time of the month", yet you proceeded to use the bathroom
anyway.

As for the salad...I can see how you'd be upset over missing
ingredients, but it IS possible they did run out of them. The first
salad you got was probably pre-made and sitting in their cooler, or
else they were low on food supplies and some other people ordered the
same salad as you did, which depleted their ingredients so they
weren't on hand when you ordered. Did they charge you less for the
not-all-there salad? Did you ASK them to charge you less? I would
have! Also, the server should have told you they were out of certain
ingredients before he re-made the salad - I used to work as a
waitress, and I've personally done that when the restaurant ran out of
ingredients for menu items.

that's a long time to drip dry since that time will last about 3-5
days.

You gave just a TAD more info than you needed to....

No offence, but if it was "that time of the month" should you not
carry a pad or tampon with you in your purse. Next time use a tampon,
and you won't have to drip dry :D. Seriously though you did not need
to share that information with us. There is a little something called
too much information.

Drip Dry?
Could not she have used that little piece of cotton or a sanitary
napkin that women carry for "that time of the month"? What ever she
was using (a sock or bundle on newspaper) to stop the flow could have
substituted for drying herself.

Buried somewhere in this unprofessional letter are some valid
complaints. So I strongly suggest you re-write it and send them the
revisions. The way it is now, it sounds like a spoiled 12 year old
wrote it.

so do you have vegetarian stamped acrossed your forehead or did you
actually tell them you are a vegetarian. i did a little research and
found that the only margarita salad they list is called the
"strawberry margarita spinach and chicken shaker salad." sounds like
they made it right unless you told them to hold the chicken. you
didn't mention that so the assumption you give us is you never told
them (and yes i know the whole assume makes an ass out of u and me
thing). just remember you assumed the second stall would have toilet
paper. sorry man but i ain't sittin' unless i know there's paper work
for the job. how can you if you checked the first stall not check the
next stall? bad move on your part i don't feel sorry for the drip
dry.

This entire restaurant chain is operated by losers, and anyone that
eats there more than once deserves what they get IMO. My first and
only vist was at their store in Lawrenceville, GA (birthday dinner
invite) and true to form, the food was as plastic as the decor.
Somehow they think that colored tortilla chips and a couple of
cilantro flakes is all it takes to cook Tex-Mex food.

People who "love" the Olive Garden or Chili's will think Don Pablo's
is great. I say great -- it keeps the riffraff away from the places
that serve good food.

What a stupid letter. I'm sure they're concerned about your period.

I hope for their sake you stay away from there.

I was going to suggest that next time this happens, use the blowdryer.
I thought it was funny.

Health regs prohibit taking food from one plate or bowl and putting it
into another, that's how they ran out of ingredients. It's called
cross contamination and if the Health Inspectors catch them, they
will get shut down so fast. Just fyi, it is better to get a clean
plate for every return to the buffet bar and when the waitstaff refill
your drinks, it's preferable they take the glass and bring you a
fresh.

And the comment about 'drip drying' was crass and vile. What planet do
you live on that that sort of comment is appropriate?

Gross. Grow UP and THINK before you send correspondence to a company.
You think they'll take your letter seriously? Think again.

It's morons like you who tarnish the reputation of this website.
Please stay off the internet, forever and ever, amen.

First of all, you could have stated your problems without being nasty
to begin with. I don't know who you think you may be reeling in with
the comparison to Taco Bell but I'm not thinking you are going to get
a good catch with it.

Secondly, and most likely most importantly, the bathroom issue should
have been dealt with immediately. As soon as you "drip dried" you
should have spoken with an employee and asked them to check the
condition of the restroom. To hold that disgusting information to
include in a ridiculous description in a letter to the corporate
office seems to show a bit of immaturity on your part.

You may very well have had a very valid complaint but because you
didn't take the time to think through what you wanted to say and how
you wanted to say it, I'm willing to bet you don't hear a word from
Donny P's.

Take a step back, re-read your letter, evaluate it, and think about
writing a letter that won't be construed as utterly ridiculous!

Sheela,
I was surfing this website and enjoying a tasty spaghetti dinner when
I read about you "drip-drying" during "that time of the month." Thanks
for destroying my appetite!

Oh, Lord. Somebody please put this letter out of its misery.

Wow. There have been some tacky and gross letters posted on this
site, but for you to actually feel the need to point out where in your
menstrual cycle you were really takes the cake. I mean, that is
completely disgusting and unneccessary. A simple, "There was no
toilet paper in the restroom" would have gotten the point across
without being completely crude. Don Pablo's is not the greatest
Mexican restaurant in the world, and probably could take some
constructive criticism, but they will be completely right in throwing
this trashy letter out. Learn some manners, Sheela! Geez...

Ridiculous request and GROSS details about the bathroom. You can be
sure this will go in the circular file.

"GO OUT OF BUSINESS and replace it with a Taco Bell"

Riigghhhhtttt.... and the Don Pablos folk would have a say in what
went into their abandoned space.

What a ridiculous request.

I think she was trying to make the situation in the bathroom seem more
urgent. I bet when she was in the stall, it felt like a big deal that
there was no TP, and yet when she went to write it down, it suddenly
didn't pack the same punch. So, she added her own.

There is absolutely no reason to include gross details. Further, she
could have gone to the table and grabbed a napkin. Or asked someone
for TP. She chose to use the facilities knowing it wasn't there -
nasty enough right there, but to include irrelevant details of her
cycle is just disgusting.
