My family went to Chompies  in Tempe today for a late lunch around 3pm. There was a large party of more than 30 people in the center room, and open booths near the door. The hostess took us into the center, very noisy room, & when we asked to be seated in a booth away from the large party, she said that she couldn't because they didn't have enough wait staff to cover our table in the quieter section. We asked to speak to a manager to see if they could make an exception, & after waiting for several minutes, the hostess came back, & told us that the manager wasn't going to come out, & that the manager told her to tell us that if we didn't want to sit at the  table offered next to the large party, we could leave. Of course, we left, & will never go back. Wrecked our afternoon. \n\nP.S.  We have been to the Chompies at Chandler Mall many times, & have always had great food and service.
