Top 15 Things That Annoy Me in Restaurants

get your god damn fingers off my plate !!!!!!!!!!

 

Once we had this group come in during one of our busy periods and they had a small child with them who let out a blood-curdling shriek literally once every two or three minutes. They thought it was hilarious and LAUGHED every fucking time...for well over two and a half hours. Our nerves were completely SHOT by the time these sons of bitches left and I vowed if I ever have a child who does that, I'll perform a fucking vocal cordectomy on them with the damn butter knife at the table. Haha. God that pissed me off.

 

The people at the side of the restaurant with silent petty contempt for others trying to enjoy their meals.

15 pet peeves at a restaurant? Take it easy...

 

Are you serious? That's horrible! I can't imagine what that is like in real life. If I ever experience that in a restaurant, I will approach the table and tell the parents to wake up and do some parenting.

I was once seated next to three teenage boys who did irritating and loud impersonations of Dave Chapell and Lil' Jon and would laugh about it like hyenas. I wanted to slam my hand on the table and say, "Keep it down, you little bastards!" Of course, they would have probably laughed at me and carried on, so I just dealt with it. So yeah, I've had something similar happen to me, but yours sounds worse.

 

lesbians like eating out?

 

Biggest pet peeve is family/friends who don't tip well, or the minimum. Sometimes I can't even sit after the bill is payed because I'm so embarrassed and want to leave before the waiter/waitress can look and connect our faces to the tip amount lol.

Does your sister realize that servers main income is FROM TIPS? It's ridiculous. Idk about pa, but in Louisiana, servers make about $2.50 an hour plus tips. And these servers don't want to be a slave to the customers, rude people, messy people, people who need something every 2 minutes, people who dont tip. but sometimes that's all they can do. They're working to put food on their tables, in their childrens mouths, they're not SUPPOSED to do anything, and I'm sorry but people like your sister who justify not paying for their service, not because it's poor, but because they're "supposed to be doing it anyway" make me sick. If you can't afford to tip your server, don't eat out. Or go to mcdonalds.

 

it's my party and i'll cry if i want to, cry if i want to, cryyy if i want to...!!!

 

i don't tip people, unless they go out of their way. then i tip nicely - all or nothing on their part. i don't tip my dentist.

if they are paid too little, as a 'hippie' collective we be pointing fingers at that corporate scum who are paying undercutting these people.

tips are a way of rewarding hard work, nothing more.

 

Yes! This is the worst! For people on the floor and people in the kitchen. Once, the bartenders friends came in 10 minutes before closing and ordered 3 pizzas. I almost got fired that night cos I was throwing shit around in a rage, I had all the flour and shit cleaned up already. I was pissed. Lol.. I mean I would half expect this from a lawyer and his stayathome wife who never get out of the house except to eat and idunno, go to the county fair, but a 20-something year old with FRIENDS in the business? This guy came in another time and sat at his table talking for 45 minutes after closing, his meal finished, just watching the servers clean up and obviously (but not rudely) waiting for him to get the fuck out.. Idk if he was stupid, just rude, or if he thought he was somehow entitled just because he was the bartender's hookup

 

Sometimes it bothers me when a server doesn't come back after a long while. When after a long understanding wait and you are sitting and sitting and they don't even look at you for 5 to 10 minutes. I am not a dog being trained, I am a paying, well tipping customer. I can't even bring myself to tip under 15% even when I got really bad service.

That's just not the way it is! How do you expect people to make a living when they are relying on tips?? Like I said, servers here make $2.50 an hour. Could you feed your family, let alone yourself on that?
It's one thing if your server is rude, or incompetent, but sometimes things aren't in their control, like how fast the food comes out. Bad service=bad tip, it shouldn't be the norm.

 

i expect their wages to be risen, it's not my responsibility. do you tip your bin man?

 

So is tipping then tied to a terribly low income? I tip, but I do wonder, when did tipping become a regular thing? Why do we tip someone who is just doing their job? I tip someone who brings me a beer and pizza but I don't tip someone who fixes my broken wrist. Why is that?

Here servers make anywhere from $10.50 an hour (minimum wage) and up. Some make decent money considering the field of work that they're in.

I hold doors open for people all the time, no tip. At work I can frame part of a house for somebody, no tip. Why do we reward people for simply doing their job? Food for thought, I guess.

 

And where do you live again? I need to move there! I didn't make the rules that's just the way it is.
Just imagine all the servers quit their jobs because they aren't getting paid enough. Then how are all those poor people going to eat??
Maybe we should do away with tips completely and get our extra pay for feeding the customers too!

 

companies should pay them more. we have a minimum wage policy in the u.k, anyways - so the average waitress, with tips, is no where near the lowest earner across the board.

 

Fucking jesus, right? The servers here only get paid $2.50 an hour because people are EXPECTED to tip. However, it's your responsibility to keep up with your tips so that if your tips + your wages doesn't add up to at least minimum wage, your employer is still required to cover the rest. But keep in mind, I think one of the posters who replied about not tipping is from Canada, things might be a lot different there. However, here people still tip and people would starve if we did away with the tip system. Hell, we sometimes even get tips where I work, and we're fast food (well...maybe a little more than fast food, seeing as we go way farther than most fast food joints to keep our customers spoiled). And I noticed at the Waffle House, if you get your food to go, you have to still pay a gratuity fee on your bill.

Maybe instead of tipping, they should just raise the hell out of all prices at restaurants so they can afford to pay their servers at least minimum wage and people wouldn't have to worry about pesky tips.

 

They should. But they dont. It's sad, in a place with some of the best food in the world, they don't give a shit about the people who serve it. It's the state's fault for the shitty minimum wage, not just the companies for taking advantage of it.

And I forgot about the compensation-to-minimum wage thing, but only because thats been the case at only ONE of the restaurants that I've ever worked at..and it was a bar. I worked the little one-person kitchen at $2.50/hr plus about half the barterer's tips.

Good idea jacking up the food costs, I bet a bunch people would be changing their tune...or learning to cook!

 

companies charge for service. that is a persons tips, the tip system should have died a long time ago.
