First of all, you greet us with “Is there anything I can get for you to drink?” No ‘Hi, my name is ______ and I will be your server today’. Not very professional, in my books. I thought this would be the only thing you’d fuck up on, but I would of soon learned I was wrong. How hard is it to know the difference between a Keith’s and a Keith’s Light? I asked for a Keith’s Light and you give me a regular one. After I corrected you, it took you ten minutes to get me the right beer. After we saw you write down our order, how could you still fuck it up? 45 minutes later after ordering in a somewhat busy restaurant, our food arrived, and it wasn’t even all that we ordered! I ordered mild wings and I get hot wings! My wife didn’t get the extra croutons in her caesar salad as she requested and her steak wasn’t well done! We sat there for 20 minutes–I couldn’t eat the hot wings so I worked on my burger (the only thing that wasn’t fucked up), my wife settled for the caesar salad w/o extra croutons and ate around the pink parts of her steak–then FINALLY you come by to see how everything was. When we said things were not good and why, you let out a little apology and nothing else. Then you tried to tell us that there were some new kitchen hires-um, listen here, little girl, we knew YOU fucked it up (I mean, you fucked up the drinks, who’s to say you didn’t do the same to the food order!)…so put the blame on someone else?? I said I wasn’t paying full price for this food and wanted the manager to give us at least 20% off. I only got 10. My wife and I were so disgusted by your service, incompetence and lies– when paying the bill, we pulled out a $20 bill and told you that you would of gotten that, but instead you were getting a dime. You wanna make money in this biz, learn how to take a food order and treat customers properly! —Was Looking For a Nice Dining Experience

You sound like an asshole. I also don’t trust people who eat well done steak.
I had to comment again, asshole.
Maybe because she’s smart and recognizes a Self-Entitled Twat when she sees one. It’s unprofessional to ask you what you want and introducing herself to you? Are you fucking nuts? OB you are a total fucking idiot. You’re lucky she even served you. If I had to, you would have gotten something extra special in your food. Did I mention you’re a fucking douchebag?
glad I wasnt the only one feeling that way
OB, you sound like a bully. Your bitch may be valid, but after reading it I don’t feel sympathy for you.
If I go to a restaurant and the food placed in front of me is not what I ordered … I send it back … I don’t sit there bitching about it while I eat it and then expect to receive the meal for a reduced price.
My bad, read the introduction part wrong but you’re still a douche.
OB, complain to the manager. Try to get that twat fired. Servers are mostly fucking morons.
Bad service isn’t bitch worthy? News to me.
The server is supposed to come and check to see if everything is ok in the first like 10 minutes tops, not 20 minutes later, that way if there’s a problem with the food it gets addressed in a timely manner.
However, if you saw the waitress or waiter write down your order, and it came back wrong, that means that yes, the kitchen staff fucked up. Still shouldn’t have taken them 20 minutes to check up on you. I hate these situations because for some reason you feel obligated to be polite even though you aren’t getting the service you paid for.
i think you would be better *served* posting this in the restaurant review section

Yikes, petulance all around in this bitch!
want a hassle free dining experience, stay the fuck home then.
**First of all, you greet us with “Is there anything I can get for you to drink?” No ‘Hi, my name is ______ and I will be your server today’. Not very professional, in my books.**
FYI, OB, at the really nice places, the staff doesn’t presume to a non-existing friendship with a self- introduction. Yes, good evening would have been nice, but it’s nothing to hang your hat on.
As far as Keith’s and Keith’s Light, they are both crappy beers and WTF is the difference anyway. How do you know she made the mistake and not the bartender?
As a former restauranteur, I can tell you that you are much less likely to get a discount than to get a comped dessert or gift card for a future use.
and as for waving around a $20 and leaving a dime, I hope someone spat in your food. Maybe you get what you deserve when you are out in public.
Extra Croutons, FTW.
Oh the horror! Your wife had to eat her salad without extra croutons! Someone call the press!
As a professional server for well over a decade, I never opened my service by introducing myself — not ever. The customer doesn’t need it and I’m not a big fan of throwing it out there to random strangers. In fact, I don’t like hearing it when I dine out because, frankly, I don’t give a shit. I care that my server keeps an eye on me from a distance so that when I look up to find them I can get their attention.
it really is crappy beer, xeno. if you haven’t read “waiter rant” i would recommend it
Hey, MM, is this your eloquent prose?
Aesop was not impressed-we took the tour-but he loathes millerwieser with the passion of a craftsman.
OP, who the hell do you think you are? And let me tell you something, my friend: the fact that you say “should of” instead of “should have” speaks volumes about your intelligence. Lighten the fuck up.
How you know, OP, who made the mistake with your meals, the server or the kitchen staff? She may not have been lying! As mentioned, you should have returned your meal as soon as saw it was wrong. A dime? What a dick!
And you are going to the hospital to have the dime removed from your forehead when exactly??? Sheesh, what a knob, and with extra croutons – of course! Surprised you did not haul out the pet cockroach to try that old trick to get a ‘deal’ when the piss and moan act did not work the way you thought it should.
You really expect people to introduce themselves by name to someone like you? You sound like a fucking psycho.
Not to mention an incompetent little child.
Grow up. You don’t always get shit exactly your own way. Who the hell do you think you are?
lol@ “should of”.
Maybe if you’d stayed in school, you’d be someone that earned your gross sense of entitlement.
Whoa-kay! Did you really need to pull out a 20 and wave it under her nose like that? Did you ever hear of sending back the food that is prepared wrong, ya condescending dick? If you are too dumb to do that and insist on sitting there and just eating the black edges around your steak, that’s your fuckin fault. I tried waitressing before, and it ain’t fun. You’re on your feet all day, juggling a ton of orders and trying to remember that table one wants ketchup, table 10 wants another round of drinks, 2 tables are waiting to place an order, 3 orders are up, 1 table is ready to pay…all the while, the boss is breathing down your neck and dickheads leaving you dime tips. Did you ever think that maybe this woman had a tough day? Perhaps she had more important things on her mind than filling your fucking gut
You had to eat spicy wings and your wife had to do without extra croutons! What horrors! How did you survive? *snort* First world problems…
I fucking love you, mama_mac.
HAHA DONARIOUS “should OF”
Also: I’m pretty sure that unless the server bent OB over and licked his asshole clean, he’d find something to bitch about anyway. SETs are like that.
Keith’s light? Really? Do you have a fucking vagina or something? Man the fuck up and drink REAL beer, asshole.
PK FTW.
OB, you sound like a real classless piece of shit, and if I witnessed you abusing wait staff and a manager like that I would likely walk past your table and “accidentally” spill something all over you. I feel embarrassed for your poor wife, who undoubtedly went to the washroom while you abused the restaurant staff for a 10% discount, and I’m willing to bet at a volume commensurate with the entire restaurant hearing it. I guess your dignity is worth less than the taxes collected on your bill, lol, what a douche!!!
PS; “would of”, grade 8 was fuckin hard wasn’t it numb nuts.
Man, y’all can jump down the OP’s vag all you like…
but I think it’s actually reasonable to hope that NOT every part of your meal be FUCKED UP.
Personally, as the bread lady alluded to, I’d have posted in the restaurant section but on the other hand… had they sat at the table of another more capable waitress, they may have had a more pleasant experience.
The tip comment… well that’s just prickishness… which I can appreciate…
on a side note… you two really don’t have any taste buds…
MILD wings, OVERCOOKED steak, LIGHT beer, and more BREAD in your salad????
god you’re weird.
Oh I completely agree that you’d hope that not every part of your meal isn’t fucked up, zed. The problem I have is with the OB’s horrible horrible overreaction and inability to conduct themselves properly in public.
I’m pretty sure, OA (Original Asshole aka OB) that if you had’ve spoken up to the server way before you started eating, everything could’ve been rectified. And yes, the server has no control over what goes on in the kitchen — they give them the orders and they prepare the food. I’ve been to a certain steak house where steak had to be sent back because it wasn’t done properly. And you know what? the party sending it back was like “apologize to the kitchen staff, but it’s just not how I like my steak” and was like “no big deal” with the server apologized. This shit happens once and a while. If you are unable to cope with this kind of thing, than maybe you shouldn’t go out in public.
You, OB are like those people who go to starbucks, drink 90% of the drink and then are all “I didn’t like mah drink! You did it wrong! I want a new drink!” Well, if you didn’t like the drink WHY DID YOU DRINK MOST OF IT? (because you wanted a free drink). Same with you — if you didn’t like your meal because something was screwed up WHY DID YOU EAT IT? You’re the type of asshole who would rather try and get a ‘deal’ than get satisfaction. You’re either a scammer or a blathering idiot. You know why the server didn’t do anything more than apologize? Because you ate the fucking meal. I know servers and they deal with types like you all the time — you complain about something after you’ve eaten it to get a discount. MAYBE you actually were dissatisfied, but you just looked like all those other scammers out there who pull this shit on a regular basis and are the type of customer a restaurant doesn’t cry over losing.
THAT is my problem with OB, zed.
PK sez: “Keith’s light? Really? Do you have a fucking vagina or something? Man the fuck up and drink REAL beer, asshole.”
PK, don’t be hatin’ on the pussy, K? You don’t need to own a penis to like good beer. ☺
How do you know if you got extra croutons or not ?
Do they come in a little side dish ?
OB…just an FYI, if you want a nice dining experience, your not going to get it in a bar, nor will you find it in any of these so called Pub’s !
That happened because you are doing it wrong, OP. Communication.
OB, have you ever served food? It’s hard, you can’t please 100% of the clientele that walk in the door. You even mention it was busy, you have no real idea why your beer wasn’t right or why your food wasn’t prepared exactly the way you like, there could be a number of reasons. But instead of being a selfish prick remember the person serving you in is just that, a person, their working a job (maybe one they don’t even like) to pay bills and you come in and have to make it that much worse.. I sincerely hope next time you go to work and make the tiniest mistake your boss writes you up and tells you how bad of a job you do, just so you know how it feels.
You AND your wife sound like douchebags. Also, well-done steak is gross. It’s not even really steak, in my opinion.
A steak, if it must be cooked, should be cooked about 5-10 seconds on each side.
“It’s not even really steak, in my opinion.”
Why do dumb blondes think people give a fuck what they think?
IF it must be cooked? The fuck? You are in tartar land me son.
blue rare’s a little too far for me… I like it to have a little resistance without being completely squishy and gushing blood….
Bro, I can just see you now… out in the fields.
You don’t even wait for them to kill the cow… just start on it while it’s sleeping.
If this person was too much of a pussy to get off his ass to find the waitress when problems arose, or ask to see the manager instead of eating food they did not want, do you really think he had the balls to wave a $20 bill and leave a dime?
I call bullshit.
