text: To begin with we occasionally go to Marie Callenders The food except for the pies which are delicious but expensive is just okay Today we presented a coupon to buy one entree and get another for half price We also had two gift cards that were to expire today Our server who was unfriendly and indifferent delivered the news that we could not use both the coupon AND gift cards Further we were not allowed to use the gift cards on to go pies It has always been my understanding that gift cards are like cash but apparently this restaurant only accepts CASH for payment and ignores their own gift cards And to make it worse the server delivered this information from his manager in an impolite manner I have the servers name but will not share it here My husband gave the gift cards to other customers in the restaurant so the restaurant ended up accepting the gift cards anyway I think the manager should have either lightened up on his hardnosed decision or come to our table and politely explain his decision We will never go to this restaurant again for a sit down meal due to the unfriendly service and rigid policies
