I did a search here before posting (of course ) and was kinda blown away that there’s no general* bitch thread about things we dislike at restaurants.
Here are my biggest ones, off the top of my head.
“Have you dined with us before?” As if this particular restaurant experience is going to be so outrageously different from every other restaurant I’ve ever visited. Answered in the negatory, one is subjected to a lengthy introduction to the novel idea of ‘sharing plates,’ WOW! — or whatever other super-new, pretentious concept they think they offer. It’s food at a restaurant. End of story.
“Are you still working on that?” No. I’m not working. I’m enjoying my meal at a leisurely pace, and if you dare ask again, I will stab you with my fork. An even worse version of this is “Are WE still working on that?” We? Am I suddenly a patient at a hospital, and you now my nurse? GTFOWT!
I’m sure there are more, but these drive me nuts & happen far too often.
RANT AWAY, HOs. You know you wanna
*There’s a NJ thread, but TL;DR — plus why limit our rants to one measly state?
