Restaurant server pet peeves

[Rifler]

The only thing that bothers me at a restaurant is when it's half empty, we're a table of 2 and you sit us right next to a table of 14 drunks at happy hour having after work drinks. Move me to the other side of the damn restaurant so we can hear our conversation. You can call me sweet cheeks all day I don't care about that.

Oh this happened just last Thursday night is the only reason I bring it up. Was awesome eating with my wife with out being able to have a conversation. Idiots. Normally the wife would tell them to move us but for some reason she wasn't in the mood to complain.

Take charge of the situation and walk to the table you prefer,.. That's what I do.

Home fries are cubed potatoes and hash browns are shredded.

Those are American fries in my part of the world. Glad we got that cleared up.

When they write nasty sexual advances on the receipt with their address and/or phone number.

Lady… I have to turn this in for reimbursement. Just write it on a napkin next time.

Stuff like that also screams intimidation tactics as well.

American fries to me are just sliced potatoes cooked in a skillet.

Definitely a valid complaint, but the average host/hostess is a HS sophomore who is terrified of people and is sitting you where the computer is telling them to sit you. Many times I have seen a host try to cram a couple 400-pounders into a booth because that specific table was “next” according to the computer screen. Or putting a baby in a car seat at the end of the table where there is a lot of walking traffic.

Big problem with this is her hands are not going to be available. Someone could easily reach for that gun while she’s carrying plates. Not smart.
