So, is it just me, or have other people had this experience?

I call in an order for take-out; I am told it will be ready in 15 (or 20, or 25) minutes. So, 15, or 20, or whatever minutes later, but never earlier than they say, I show up. They ask what I'm there for, and I repeat my order. Then I wait for another 10 to 30 (!!) minutes while they put the whole thing together. And it's not like they are crazy-busy on these occasions, either - at most (the additional 30 minute wait) they've had 3 tables of customers there. It's like they either deliberately ignore the call-in orders until I show up, or they forget them or something. I don't get it. And I don't have this experience with other places I call for take-out.

This happens at least 9 times out of 10. But when my SO places the order, it is ready on time.

I once came very close to walking out without paying, when they took almost an hour to bring the check after we were clearly done. (I couldn't even get the attention of the (one) server to ask him!)
