anyone else feel that they get better treatment during weekday (M-Th) dining than on weekends?

I have to say I do, generally better/less rushed interaction with the waitstaff.

On weekdays we've also had a number of 'freebies' tastings of item(s) the chef is trying or a new wine they are considering. I don't count on these but they've happened enough^

We rarely go out to dinner on a Fri/Sat/Sun as a result.
