They can really ruin a good evening.

Last night I went to a Spanish Restaurant with my bro and sis.

Ok so we didnt book, but they said it would be a 10 minute wait for a table and welcomed us to have a drink at the bar.

Twennie minutes later, table still wasnt ready, but it was kinda late, so wasnt really an option to move on to a different restaurant.

They forgot to give us the tapas menu, they forgot to bring us our aperfifs.. (we had to call a waiter over and ask twice)

We ordered some tapas to snack on while we waited for our meal..

Waited ages.... and they brought the main meal with the starters.. They didnt clear our table before they brought the meal over, so we had to get fresh cutlery and napkins from another table.

There was no one minding the tables so if we wanted service we had to go up and ask, cos the staff were all dancing behind the bar not giving a shit.

We did complain, and got a discount, but thats not the point, we didnt have a nice time it drives me mad when this shit happens.

I wont go back..

So it was your OWN fault!

I mean, straight people in an OBVIOUS gay restaurant. You interupted their dancing. That would piss me off too.

I would have given you the table next to the toilets, I would! Dance-spoilers.

They were not gay.. and they didnt get any tips from me either. They were just impolite and unprofessional.

Heehee

Last wednesday I had my brother over. Beautiful day, we sit on a terrace. I am good at spotting bad waiters, so even before she hit her table I told my brother this was going to be fun.

First, she lets four people wait cuz she was talking to friends.
Then, we order. One cappucino, one beer. I even specified the brand for her.
After SEVEN minutes of la-di-da-ing she arrives, but from afar I see NO beer on her plate.
So she gives my brother his coffee and me a silly lime drink.
I say; I ordered beer.
She has the nerve to say; no you didn't. I just raised my eyebrow, most times enough to make people crumble.
The fellas in front of us then go; "Yes, he did."
She turns and does not say anything. I call her back.
She returns reluctantly. I say, could my brother's coffee be served with a spoon, please.
SHE FORGOT THE SPOON.
Cunt.
Then she returns inside, but decided the cleaning of all the tables outside was far more important than getting a spoon and a beer she forgot.
So I get up, walk past her and go inside and get spoon myself. She kinda rushes after me. "I was getting you a spoon" she says.
I tell her I dont want to coffee to cool down before she does.

I now made her look stooopid in front of her colleagues.
LoL
I looooove doing that.

Then when she finally appeared with the beer, I told my bro "She probably spat in it" while she was still in earshot.

She also served a snack that is supposed to be hot lukewarm.

I looooove bad waitering! It allows you to be rude back!

LOL

I am the customer from hell, i'll go there and get them back for you.

While at a restaurant last week, we had ordered food and the waitress who didn't speak very good enlish asked what i would like to drink

me : Gin and Bitter lemon please

her: Sorry we don't have it (in really strong accent i could barely understand)

me : You are just rubbish

her: I'm really sorry (looked like she was about to cry)

me : wine will do

person i was with :


I'll go and sort them out.

i hate it when i go out and get bad service as well
i wouldnt go back either and i would make a point of telling everyone how terrible the restaurant is

You are just one rude bitch, aren't you?

p0pstar said:

GooeyTheHamster said:

yep

Christopher said:

she was really annoying i couldn't help it

it's not my fault she took me serious

p0pstar said:

And not even feeling sorry for a foreign person that dedicated five years to learn the Queen's English, only to find her waitering tables to people who speak Brummy Twattish.

Poor waitress girl.

p0pstar said:

i was her and i didnt appreciate it :distraughteyelinerrunning:

GooeyTheHamster said:

I used to wait in restaurants when I was younger, so I cant help but judge when I am having a meal out.

Some of the service is soo poor, and the people waiting just too damned rude.

Some have attitude problems, cos they think *I am better than you, so dont ask me to get something for you, just wait your turn, I will bring it when I am ready*

Hellooooo???

This is your JOB! mofos!

If they are embarrased to fucking wait on ppl, then why the fuck didnt they get an education ( ok, ppl gonna hate me for adding that ) and get a better job?

Infact I loved waitressing. I was proud, and treated my customers like gold. Made them feel good, but also chatted to them as friends.. my tips were BIGGGGG. I made more money working tables than shoe desgning.. and even that is very well paid.

Just infuriates me, when these ppl working in restaurants think they deserve more, and are moody so they give the customer shit.. I mean its us paying them to stay in that job, right?

p0pstar said:

That was rude and unneccesary though..

GooeyTheHamster said:

no i was in birmingham so i think she was probably a local

hence me not being able to understand her.

On a slightly different tack but still 2 do with restaurants. We have a "Mexican"(and I use the term Mexican loosley!!) Restaurant called The Coriander here in Bournemouth, but the thing is they wouldnt know what Mexican Food was if it slapped them up the ass!!

On their Midday menu they have a dish called Chicken Vesuvius!! Why in Gods name is this named after an Italian volcano?? I suppose its because they cant spell any Mexican volcano!!!

My husband is Mexican/American and he says that hes never tasted such a load of crap in his life!!!

In Mexican Restaurants in the USA, u are automatically served tortilla chips with salsa dips when u are seated, but here u have 2 virtually plead with them on bended knees 2 serve u some chips!! Also u virtually get an egg-cupped sized margarita, whereas in the USA they serve u margaritas so large u can almost swim in them!!

Service in restaurants here in the UK leave a lot 2 b desired!!

i was nice to her

and i missed about the bit where i said sorry

things just pop out of my mouth sometimes before i think.

REDBABY said:

Hehehe
I know something FUN too.

Cue to sunny terrace in Vondelpark, Amsterdam.
I am sitting there with my then bf. Next to us two somewhat too old student guys.
No one serves the terrace; it is a 'get in line at the bar'-policy places. Everybody knows that. One guy is rounding up the empty stuff.
I am lazy, so I eyeball him sweetly and ask him if he serves as well. He eyeballs me back knowingly (gay code) and goes, yeah, oh well, waht are you having. I order two beers.

He then moves over to the next table and these guys order as well. They want two coffee. The waiter just throws up attitude and says no.
The two guys look shocked. And before they can respond the waiter says;

"Coffee time is over now. It's beer time."

I loved that. The guys were bullied into ordering beers. The next people that wanted to order he told off. GOLDEN!

it was you?



i can't remember the whole incident of the night but it had been a long day over 3 hours traveling and then a nightmare trying to get even the most basic of things ordering.
