SushiYaa, Sushi Noo, SushiMaybe

Where is all the service going these days? I'm not hard to please. I don't demand a lot. BUT I do notice when I am paying for a service and do not get it. I could recite several stories each day of some place I have gone where the service was much less than what I was expecting if it even existed at all. I want to tell you of the most recent ocurrance. I just spent 12 hours at work. Not wanting to go home and prepare dinner I thought I would reward myself with a little sushi. I went to this little buffet called SushiYaa. It is not great but fair to above par. One thing I like about this place is in addition to the sushi they have a nice selection of Tempura _________(fill in the blank) as well a a selection of other asian niceties and the price is relatively low. Tonight I was greatly disappointed in the level of service. There were only 3 other tables with customers. On duty was one waiter and 2 waitresses. Once I entered I was seated and asked what I would like to drink. I immediately got up and went to the buffet. When I returned to my table my ice tea was waiting for me. I ate my entire plate of food, drank my entire glass of tea and then ate the ice. I then went back for 2 or 3 additional pieces of sushi. I only saw the waiter and waitresses as they passed me by. I really would have liked some more tea or water or something to drink. I finally decided it was time to go. So I waited...............and...............waited. After several minutes of me staring at the wait staff and failing to gain their attention, the waiter finally stopped and asked, "Do you need anything else?" I replied, " I would like my check, please." He walked off and I continued my wait. This wait went on a rediculously long time. I felt like I could have easily walked out and no one would have noticed. I finally got up turned my chair around 180 degrees to face the waiter station where they were all gathered gossipping about who knows what. There I sat, arms crossed stairing at them. No one noticed. I got up, moved my chair a foot or so closer. Sat back down assuming the same meditative position. Still, no one seemed to notice. I repeated the moving the chair and waiting in disgusted pose about 5 more times until I found myself about half way across the floor almost to the waitress station. Finally one of the waitresses turns around and is startled into a nervous squeek as she nearly ran over me on her way to .........( I do not know where - It certainly was not to tend to her tables). Quite startled she asked if she could help me. By now, the other waitress and waiter are standing there. I simply said "I STILL would like my check please." I was quite surprised at how rapidly they got my check and got me out of there...........I tipped accordingly.
