weeded
adj.— «I have been to this restaurant several times. Service is not always great, but they are so incredibly busy that I am pretty forgiving. However, my most recent visit was incredibly frustrating. The waiter was severly “weeded.” He spent a lot of time in the kitchen and was rarely to be seen on the floor.» —“Cheddar’s” by Jina in Houston, Texas B4-U-Eat July 24, 2002.
