Hey Springs, did you make it to this? Did they tell you to stop eating so much Ranch Dressing?

After thinking hard about this thread I have questions for the OP:

Is it ok to cut in line at a McDonalds Drive thru?
Would the answer be the same at a Taco Bell?
If the server at the drive thru forgets the ketchup, is it ok to back in? Or do I have to go all the way around again to get my ketchup? I'm sure as hell not getting out of the car and walking in.

I just back up. The car BEHIND you doesn't own the LAND they are on. I was OBVIOUSLY first and should be served CORRECTLY before anyone else. HOW do you ***NOT*** understand this?

So wait, if I understand correctly:

Once you have first contact from a waiter, at which point he should bring lots of utensils, condiments, straws, but definitely not water, and at which point he should ask if he can get you something immediately, if you say "yes" and say you want something (let's say you want a Coke to start), then:

The waiter should immediately go and get that thing (ie, go directly to put in the order for the drink (having written down the soda order obviously), and then directly back to your table) because it would be unacceptable for the waiter to do several things in parallel such as check in on another table. So now, the waiter is back at your table, and:

Must ask if you are ready to order (I'm assuming, perhaps crazily, that it's not RUDE to ask if you are ready to order in some way). Assuming you are ready to order, and place an order for food, the waiter must then go directly (after some ridiculous amount of showing you the ticket to make sure that all substitutions, "sides," and condiment alterations are handled) to put your order in with the kitchen, making sure not to do anything for any other customers on their path.

Am I correct assuming that at this point, when you have drinks at your table and your food order has been placed, that it would at least be OK for your personal waiter to check in on another table / handle another customer? Or is the waiter supposed to report back immediately to check if you need more mayo/crayons/napkins/take home condiment packets, refills on soda, etc?

Obviously all of this is is kind of mind blowing because every single Springs1 thing is an example of her believing her time is more valuable than other people's, and so complaining about social conventions that the rest of society has adopted in order to deal with common problems such as "given no actual property rights exist in parking lots, how do we remain civilized and avoid fighting over parking spaces. Perhaps in a manner where people exchange some bit of their time for a specific spot, while not inconveniencing other people much at all, and it evens out in the end because we all agree to the convention?"

Simply head exploding.

For the millionth time, I AM WORKING* by having to get a menu compare each price to my check. THAT IS NOT MY ****ING JOB SINCE I AM NOT GETTING PAID A TIP TO DO THIS, MY SERVER IS YOU DUMB****! THAT IS WORK. WHAT DO YOU CALL IT TO DO THIS??? IT'S WORK TO COMPARE THE MENU PRICES TO THE CHECK PRICES, IT TRULY IS.
You ask for the menu after receiving your receipt?

Sounds like a fun game to avoid tipping:

No, it's called let's see if she charges me called a TEST the TIP GAME. I have tested servers ever since if I choose to pay with cash to see if they will steal my change. They decide their own destiny by stealing.

It's a test, just as you test your servers on refills without asking acting like they can read your mind or something.

This means I can pick and choose WHICHEVER*** of those I want to and be a "FREE" REFILL unless one cost more such as let's say like when my husband got coffee, then a diet coke, a diet coke should be charged since the coffee is cheaper, but not both items since BOTH have free refills. In my case, I have items that are the SAME EXACT PRICE, so all I am doing is changing from one drink to another. A glass of water is free, because it's not bottled water.

Where on the menu do you see that states by each item like Coke, that you have to order the same drink to get the refill???? THE MENU DOESN'T MORON!

So YES the server *IS******* ordering for me. If I want coke first, then a dr. pepper, then if they bring me coke again without asking or me asking, that's ORDERING for me. They have NO LEGAL RIGHTS to place my order next of what I want. A refill is simply refilling a glass, it's NOT meaning that you have to have the same item in the glass. Now if I order milk instead of coke. That's a "REFILL", but the milk is NOT a "FREE" refill, it's just a refill that will COST more money like you would ring up coke and milk since milk has no free refills.

When the servers guessed wrong for you, they were ordering for you, you STUPID MORON! You could have had what you wanted rather than taking the drink you weren't in the mood for doing it the way it's supposed to go.

springs i just walked 4 blocks and 2 avenues home from the train in light hail. i even stopped at the supermarket and amazingly none of my groceries were damaged.
it must suck to have to steal parking spots because you're too fat to walk 50 feet to your car in the rain.

she is basically an unbearable human being looking for any excuse not to tip.

most people do want refills. if the waiter sees their cup is almost empty they will bring them another one. if you don't want it big deal- say "no thanks" and they will take it away.but instead springs flies off the handle at this because the waiter "can't read her mind"

the whole "dressing on the side" when said by any normal person means they want dressing on the side and not on the entree. of course only springs means she wants it on both (without saying she wants extra) and the waiter is now an idiot for not being able to read her mind.

So first the waiter is an idiot for thinking he can read her mind (while he does what any normal person would want) then he's an idiot for not being able to read her mind (when again he does what any normal person would want.)

holy **** now she thinks unlimited soft drinks means unlimited coffee hahaha.

on any menu I've ever seen with free refills will say "free refills on coffee" or "free refills on soft drinks". that doesn't mean if you order one you also get the other. holy **** this bitch is crazy.

the is also no chance that someone who blows her top at a 4 cent mistake isn't sharing drinks and "free refills" with her husband.

I predict that based on the poster and thread title that OP overreacted to some small mistake and got all ****y when management didn't side with her.

I haven't read any of the replies, but I'm guessing others feel the same way as I do.

OP, you sound like a really ****ty person. I was a waitress and I have done many many **** jobs, but serving people like you was the WORST!

I did not even finish your post, but have you ever thought that a server might not write everything down because they can remember **** that you yourself might find difficult to do.

Your first step to not being ****ty is not looking at people as though you are somehow better than them because they are serving you.

Why not Blue Cheese instead of ranch?

LOL.

I went back and read springs first posts on this forum, in a thread about complaining to a restaurant imagine that.

The whole getting so upset that you post on a forum endlessly about a check being given before a dessert is ordered is surely a sign of something. Like, how ****ing hard is it to say "oh I want a fatty mcfat fat dessert too please." The server will then, at the same time he enters your order in for the kitchen, print a new updated check. ****ing servers.

Also, the prices aren't entered into the computer by any of the servers. No server is trying to rip you off on prices that are different in the computer system and what is on the menu. Get a grip.

Ok, that sounds reasonable. Do you still keep a tally of how much they've attempted to steal from you? Which restaurant is the biggest offender?

Quote:
most people do want refills.
I NEVER said I don't. Refills don't have to be the same liquid, you do realize what a refill is the actual definition, right?? If I want coke, then water in my glass, you are refilling the glass again with a liquid that is water instead of coke. Heck, even prescription refills even don't have to be the same. When I was on birth control pills, I had taken Yazmin, they just gave me Ocella without even telling me the pill was different. I had to open my bag that was stapled from Walgreens to find out I was not getting my same pill, but a **GENERIC*** pill, which ended up not agreeing with my system causing my a lot of constipation issues that I NEVER had with Yasmin.

Here's the definition of a refill:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/refill?s=t

"a material, supply, or the like, to replace something that has been used up"

"to fill (something) again"

"(informal) another drink to replace one already drunk"

Do you see *ANYWHERE* it states I have to have the "SAME" drink, huh???

They may want refills, but may not want the same drink, understand now?

Quote:

It's not the waiter's right to place an order for the customer. Do you understand that's morally wrong to ORDER for a customer and it is ILLEGAL to do that. It's not your****TIP MONEY******** PAYING*********** to decide for me the next drink.

Quote:
if you don't want it big deal- say "no thanks" and they will take it away.
NO F'ING WAY would I actually "THANK" someone for WASTING MY TIME, WTF??? They should be saying they are sorry for getting my order wrong by assuming to order for me. They have wasted my time to get what I actually did want. WHERE the HELL do you get off thinking I should "THANK" someone for taking up *******THE TIME I AM *****PAYING FOR*********** to someone that's a ********CONTROL FREAK that wants control over our service, huh?

It's not your tip money, it's not your decision, plain and simple. We do get a menu for a *REAL REASON*, you do realize that, right? It's not so the server can order for the customer, it's so the customer can say what they want or don't want.

Quote:
but instead springs flies off the handle at this because the waiter "can't read her mind"
NO, the server is trying to read my mind that I wanted something that I didn't want and ORDERED for me anyways. It's reading my mind to ASSUME I want another drink you STUPID ****TARD IDIOT!!

Quote:
the whole "dressing on the side" when said by any normal person means they want dressing on the side and not on the entree.
I didn't say I wanted dressing "on the side", I asked for ****2 SIDES of bbq sauce******. That's additional to what is already on the ****ING **********MENU************* if you actually ***********READ THE MENU******** you'd know.

Quote:
of course only springs means she wants it on both (without saying she wants extra) and the waiter is now an idiot for not being able to read her mind.
No, the waiter is an idiot for not reading the ***********MENU************* and the **********WRITTEN ORDER************ BOTH when putting in the order and delivering it. There's no mind reading, it's called **********MENU READING********* IDIOT. LEARN how to READ A MENU DESCRIPTION!

If I order a burger that all burgers come with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, let's say I tell the waiter I want a burger with lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. Pickles still come in the item, so at that point since it would be something that would have to be made over, if I were a server, I'd make 100% sure the customer wanted pickles as well just in case if they didn't realize it, not because the menu doesn't say it. You, on the other hand, would ASSUME and the customer does really want the pickles, so they get their burger and they ask you where the pickles are. I have had this happen before at the donut shop where I double checked a customer that said 2 out of the 4 things that came on kastle type burgers we had(it came with mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onions). She only listed 2, I asked her do you want and listed the other 2 items, she said "YES" believe it or not. Now, we didn't have a menu description so to speak, but everyone knows what typically goes on a burger in general and most people do know kastleburgers as well. Anyway, another time, didn't ask the customer meant they didn't want everything that came on it. My point is, there are MANY DIFFERENT people that don't know how to place an order. If they only wanted certain things, they should say "ONLY" or "JUST" when ordering as I have ALWAYS done since I was a kid. My point is, if it's on the menu, then to make sure the customer gets what they wanted I would ask, but it's not necessary if the customer really knows how to order, even then, can make a mistake.

If I order a burger that comes with onion strings, but the top of the burger area on the menu states all burgers come with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions, well, that burger comes with BOTH kinds of onions according to the menu and the server should realize that, understand? The customer may not realize it, so even though you shouldn't have to baby-sit the customer, if I were a server, I would just to be safe so I wouldn't have an unhappy customer sending things back. I may be wasting my time asking in that they may want both kinds of onions, but I would do it to make sure my customer was happy. The customer, however, doesn't have to repeat the menu to you as the server. If the menu states I get both types of onions, the food should contain raw onions *AND* onion strings if there's no alterations. That's how the menu is laid out.

You NEVER take an order going by majority. People can be allergic as well as just picky, either way, you NEVER take an order by majority. That's why you have a PAD AND PEN. That's why you come to get my order and it's not just brought, because you can't read my mind, DUHHH!! That's why WE order and not the server. WHY are *WE* tipping if *YOU* get the decision making? WHY bother tipping then if it's all about the SERVER SERVICE and not about "CUSTOMER" SERVICE??
