Is anyone else irritated that 'Dine Out' is basically unplayable now!?

I was hoping with the latest patch the bug would have gotten addressed, so Im a little miffed its still an issue. It stinks since I genuinely enjoy Dine Out and I was always sending my sims out to eat. Now I barely do since their food is always being taken. I'd rather not have to wait months on end for the bug to be taken cared of, or else why get Dine Out unless you just want to build restaurants for the sake of decoration?
