Tons of customers are a pain in the ass.
I'm not even saying your wrong about waiters in a lot of places but to say some customers aren't also terrible is insane.

For example my aunt who is a terrible human being in general is perfectly capable of ruining the day of everyone who eats with her as well as the servers every single time she goes out to eat.She will complain about something at least 10 times to the waiter ,send items back (if you're lucky no more than twice) somehow expect sides to be free etc. She's not even invited to family dinners anymore because of this crap.Oh yea she also thinks of herself as polite, considerate etc. That doesn't make it true.

Now some servers are just terrible but chances are you eat at the same places a lot,everyone knows what an annoying customer you are, nobody wants to deal with your bull**** hence the constant poor service.I guarantee if my aunt goes back to the same place to eat where the servers know her she gets crap service bc they know all she is going to do anyway is bitch about everything,run them ragged and leave a ****ty tip.

This thread is pretty funny considering who started it. Here's a helpful hint op- when you conduct yourself as a self entitled scumbag in life and do ****y things like steal parking spots that crap carries over in all aspects of your life and nobody wants to deal with your bull****.I can't imagine the neutered pansy who actually married you.

Nope. I wouldn't (purposely) read a single line of text written by someone who does not understand the plight of the chain-restaurant worker.

This rant looks especially long. Probably chock full of rationalizations for why OP isn't a pathetic human.

so well said.

Then they don't want a good tip then.

NO, I am very polite and I am very considerate. Please why I ask for everything in one shot so I don't run my server, yet they want to be ran at times. I still thank them even though I didn't get a sorry from their mouths. A lot of them are mean. Once, at Cheesecake Factory, me and my husband got some appetizers to share, I ordered a shake, and then towards the end I gave an entrée order, but before I had a chance to say "To-go"(I wanted this item for the next day a past dish(this was around 8p.m. at night), the waitress said to me "I was going to say, YOU CAN EAT." Was that really necessary for a server to make comments on how much someone orders? It's like servers are MEAN. They have NO RIGHT to JUDGE how much someone orders. A LOT of servers are just MEAN out there.

Another time, I had gone to Hard Rock Cafe(the restaurant), I had ordered the pulled pork nachos, then ordered a pulled pork sandwich. The waiter goes "You must really like the pulled pork, don't ya?" What is it with the COMMENTING about what you order? No server should be saying ANYTHING about that something seems stranger or different about what someone orders or how much someone orders.

Once, we had gone to this restaurant, we got seated, then another couple got seated. Our waitress went to greet them first, then us. She doesn't write the orders down. I order an iced tea, my husband ordered a mixed drink off the menu. So our waitress comes back EMPTY HANDED which she could have at least gotten my iced tea by that point, she tells him they are out of the stuff to make it, so he tells her right away another drink. So I see our waitress bring out the frozen margaritas for the other table that I should have had my iced tea first since we were seated first and it was only an iced tea. Also, because she had made a trip to our table to tell my husband about that they couldn't make the 1st drink he had decided on. She finally comes back without my iced tea. So I tell her I had ordered an iced tea. She comes back with the iced tea. I told her "You could have said you were sorry." Her response was "I DON'T HAVE TO SAY I'M SORRY." So as she walked away I said "Well I don't have to tip you then."" Needless to say we stiffed her. We had only ordered some drinks and an appetizer so the bill amount wasn't that much anyways, even if there was the one bar drink on there. I had gone to the hostess's stand to tell her about that our waitress greeted the other table first even though she had seated us first. I really thought our waitress was going to say "I'm sorry about that." My jaw dropped to see she was so mean and bitchy. I couldn't imagine saying I didn't have to apologize to someone. What a MEAN person she was. This happened probably in 2008 or 2009, still hurts to this day.

So my point is, servers are mean in most cases and then you act like *I* am the villain when I am very nice to them. Apologizing even when I have a modified order at times even and it still doesn't help.

NO, I am not fat. I HONESTLY am not. You must be to keep saying these things.

Was this Mcdonald's or taco bell?

You started a thread about how you have no problem stealing parking spots which no civilized person in society does. There is no chance you are a considerate person.

You just said the same servers who are nice warm and friendly to other people treat you different. It's you and your husband, not the server causing the problems.

How big are the cups? That seems like a lot of ranch.

Springs,

You drink MULTIPLE sodas.

You get EXTRA CONDIMENTS.

You get SHAKES.

That is what waitresses say to FAT people.

That is a FAT PERSON order.



only a FAT person would DENY it so much.

If you were truly NOT FAT then you could post a picture of yourself to PROVE us wrong, but you WON'T because you are a FAT THIEF.

OP, as someone who works in a restaurant and has pride in doing a good job, I agree that poor service really is bothersome, especially from my perspective, because a server not doing their work creates more work from me.

HOWEVER, based on the fact that you wrote a ridiculously humongous wall of text that was so unbelievable repetitive and whiny, that there is a very very good chance that you have little sense of how you come off. And so even though from your pov, you were reasonable and polite, I'm going to make the assumption that you might have actually come across ruder, more demanding, and in general a much larger pain in the ass than you realize.

And by the way, asking for refills to go is a move universally seen among lower class uncultured folk, who are more used to eating in fast food joints. So it weakens any standing you have even more. Of all of the guests who have asked me for drinks to go (and not just a cup, which is a semi-loser move but not full on loser), I would say 80% of them also left a 10% tip or less, and also displayed other signs that they don't understand restaurant etiquette and culture.

And LOL about complaining about service at an Applebee's.

I told you that there the customers that are pains are the ones that are sending things back because they change their minds or the ones that complain to get free stuff like just to complain just to complain. I am not like that.

What does she complain about? Is it something that is really a mistake or problem or does she make-up stuff?

What bull****?? Asking for a lot of things is not bull****, it's *******WORKING HARD FOR YOUR MONEY************.

The things I am complaining about are REAL issues. Missing items are REAL issues. Not apologizing is MEAN, that's a HUGE issue in customer service to not be nice to a customer and polite. I NEVER run my server ragged since I TELL them a LIST of things. It's their fault if they are TOO LAZY to write them down, NOT MINE. Also, them walking away so quickly we can't ask for more than one or two things, that's THEM running themselves ragged. I wanted to say a LIST of things and at times servers are walking away BEFORE I have a *CHANCE* to list the entire list.

The servers that have given us bad service are self-entitlted scumbags. I mean there's a huge difference between a hard worker and one that just doesn't care. Messing up by accident is one thing, but not even trying is another.

t

I NEVER stole a parking spot since NO ONE OWNS a spot if it's not paid for IDIOT. Unless you have PAID for the spot, it's not yours. Waiting for a parking spot doesn't entitle you to ****!!

No one wants to be blocked waiting for **YOUR PARKING SPOT*** and you know it. WHY should someone have to wait for you to have a spot while they have other things to do? You are not the only person that has **** to do.

I can't imagine someone that is so selfish to marry you, because you feel other people should wait for your spot like we all have to bow down to you to wait for your spot you want. That's crazy. No one should have to wait for someone else's spot. If I am in front of you and there is a person behind you so you are blocked, the spot I am waiting for the person isn't even in their car yet putting their groceries in their car, do you really want to wait for "MY SPOT?" BS if you say you do. WHY should I have to wait for you when you wouldn't want to wait for me??

This thread is hilarious. I don't think there's anything that screams USA#1 more than some fat cow writing a whole angry essay about how a waitress at a low end restaurant forgot to bring a ranch dresing.

Springs,

Do you think servers might treat you better if you were THINNER and BETTER LOOKING? Maybe try some EXERCISING and skipping the SHAKE next time.

DD,


How about people who ask for to-go containers of extra condiments to use at home with other food?

I don't know if this makes me want to laugh or cry. You seriously sound mentally ill.

NO, I am nice. Heck, as I said before, even that waitress that forgot my husband's baked potato she didn't apologize. That's so mean. I couldn't fathom not apologizing. I even apologize to my server if I forget to ask for something even. That's how nice I am.

I am not rude. What hurts my feelings to begin with is them being rude if they aren't writing the orders down. It hurts my feelings that it shows "I DON'T CARE IF I GET IT RIGHT" in my eyes. It really hurts my feelings that much. Once, I was EXTREMELY polite, said "Could you PLEASE possibly write my order down, because it's complicated." The waiter COMPLAINED to my face said "I haven't written an order in 12yrs" to my face. Was that really necessary? I mean if the customer asks for a request that isn't unreasonable such as writing your order down, how is that sooooo horrible to be rude or to act like you should deny them of it if you want their money?? We still(me more even), decided to leave 19%, but he would have had 25% if his attitude would have been better just said "Sure" when I asked him the question.

You don't get that servers don't want to do the work, they just don't. They want the tip, but don't want to do the work it takes to get the tip. They want free money without doing much and that hurts my feelings that they are so uncaring and unwilling to earn their pay. There are times where we have servers that have busted their butts for us, gave them over 30% tips even. It seems like there are more uncaring, unwilling to work servers than ones that are caring and willing to work as hard as they can.

NOT TRUE since at restaurants before we were OFFERED refills to-go before. Ruby Tuesday once we were for example. Another place we have around here a local chain called "Walk-ons", they have offered us refills to-go. The SERVERS offered.

Also, WHY not get the most for your money? I mean that's more to give in the tip for the more work, why not want more money? The more my server does, the more I want to tip them if they were polite and got things right.

But why go by that when not everyone is like that?? So that other 20% wasn't like that, so why not go by that just MAYBE they will do the right thing to tip you well.

Also, you never said in that 80% did you give flawless, polite service?? If not, then HOW can you say it's because of that??? For example, asking for a refills to-go, but let's say you forgot the customer's side dish and didn't apologize, well WTF do you expect for a tip?? You can't seriously expect 20% when you didn't apologize even. Understand that that's only one part of the service and that doesn't mean they were cheap because they tipped you crappy(UNLESS YOU DID TRULY GIVE THEM 100% PERFECT SERVICE OR THEY EVEN TOLD YOU HOW GREAT YOU WERE and then you see their tip).

Yeah, they want more money than the bill, so yeah, I expect them to work hard no matter WHERE you are. Denny's, Waffle House, IHOP even. Doesn't matter where. You want a tip, WORK HARD for it.

HOW am I mentally ill because my feelings were hurt, huh??

OP obviously fat and has bad manners.

I am not fat. Why is it hilarious? You have no feelings.

NO, I am not fat and I don't have bad manners.

Springs,

So on top of this food ISSUE that we have dealt with in the past, you seem to be implying that your husband has an alcohol problem. Perhaps that is what is making you so curt with the waitstaff.

No, he had ONE drink, how is that an "alcohol" problem, huh???

Springs,


I have NEVER been offered a refill to-go at a restaurant because I am IN SHAPE, and servers only offer to-go refills to FAT PEOPLE.

Have you considered trying some EXERCISE? Or maybe eating some HEALTHIER food? If you made some changes like that, maybe you would become LESS FAT and people would treat you NICER.

Also, do you SHOWER regularly and use DEODORANT? I bet part of the reason you often receive bad service is because the servers are trying to avoid your bad BODY ODOR as much as possible.

Specifically mentioning that he had an alcoholic drink while stating that you did not, means something.

I think you don't order alcohol because you are counting calories. Do you feel as if your husband is somehow "letting himself go' by eating less carefully than you do? This could be a key ISSUE in your relationship.

I watched a documentary about how obese people are treated differently from other people. It was very eye opening. I'm sorry that you're being treated unfairly OP. I think most people don't even realize they're doing it.

Tyler,

Springs had an alcohol problem, and when she's not drinking she resorts to eating obscene amounts of food to dull the pain and shame she feels from being fat, which leads to her getting even fatter. In these binges, she doesn't even shower or perform basic personal hygiene tasks, leading to her reeking of extreme body odor. That causes servers to avoid her terrible smell and give her bad service in the hope she will leave as quickly as possible. That's why they often bring her the check instead of asking if she wants more stuff.
