Geez, the last time I ordered a milkshake from the Mecca, the waitress got a deer in headlights look in her eyes. When she went to go make it, the machine exploded, sending milkshake flying everywhere. The cook came out to try and help. When the waitress pointed out who wanted one, he looked at me and noticed my "BLACK CAT Fireworks" shirt and laughed and commented that of course it had to be the guy wearing a black cat. I settled for a rootbeer instead.

My God, I want a milkshake.

This is such crap. People lie all the time about being out of ice cream around where I live; friends who waitress brag/bitch about it. Heaven forbid someone ask them to do their job. I realize it's a pain in the ass, but so is getting a crappy tip, which is what they'd get from me for that. Even though my mom was a waitress for years and I'm a very good tipper most of the time. Bullllllllllllshit, I say.

I have had the same experience numerous times. I have asked for a simple scoop of ice cream, and was told either the freezer didn't work (what?) or that they were out. Weird! I love ice cream, and would go there more often if I could be more sure I would leave satisfied!

christopher, you should have scampered next door to dick's to satisfy your milkshake jones. i bet you could have batted those long lashes at the waitress and convinced her to let you bring it in, what with the mecca's ice cream shortage and all.

With that attitude of outrage and entitlement over the tiniest of inconveniencies you'd fit right in over here! It's just a short drive!

The Mecca is not about milkshakes.

i used to work there, and was always shocked at how often other waitrons would refuse to make milkshakes or lie about the lack of ice cream/broken freezer. it's a pain in the ass, but a good milkshake is a gift from god. It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge

No - we all know the Mecca is for indoor smoking & drinking until you vomit, but gee what if someone wants to do something nice, like have a milk shake?
Safeway is right across the street, no one can go on a run to the store? I would have made you a shake Christopher, poor guy.

HEY!! What's an Eastsider doing reading the Stranger?

Report them to the Washington State Milkshake Control Board--they'll write them up!

If they really hate making milkshakes that much, I'm not asking them to make one for me. Not because I'm a tremendously altruistic person, but because I'm afraid of what might be IN my milkshake if they decide I'm a pain in the ass.

Frankly, I find it comforting they wouldn't make a milkshake in spite
of offering it on their menu. It just affirms Seattle hasn't become another San Francisco or
Portland.

May God continue to Bless establishments like the Mecca and Vito's!

Which made me wonder, Jensen - If they hate making milkshakes so darned much, why not just take it off the menu and have done with?

Back when Cyclops was on Western, it was always took a sweet talking and a history of good tipping to get a milkshake. They were amazing.

What the fuck? Milkshakes are not hard to make-- it used to take me about 2 minutes to do one when I used to work in a restaurant.

I'm with kerri. with dick's just a block away, there's no need to convince the surly mecca staff to make you a questionable milkshake.

Apparently the Mecca IS about douchebags!! If it's on the menu, make it!! A note to the Mecca's staff: your call from Nasa or Sloan-Kettering isn't coming, so you'd be well served (pun surely intended) to pony up on the ice cream to survive these mean streets primarily on tips.
