quecum bar in battersea

the place is great but i ordered some spinach ravioli and what i got was potato wedges in a bowl of the spinach filling topped with mozzarella and gratinated. the spinach hadn't been drained. i couldn't fucking believe what i was seeing. what the fuck's the point? you're just going to have to give the money back. tell me it's off!

LuLu's in Gulf Shores, AL.
It's a restaurant owned by Jimmy Buffet's sister, my family insisted we go there for lunch while we were seeing family down there, it was so fucking disappointing.
It was like $20 for ten medium-sized fried shrimp and a basket full of french fries, unbelievable.
You can get twice that amount of shit for half the price and have it taste ten times better at like a hundred different restaurants in a 20 mile radius.
FUCK Jimmy Buffett and FUCK his sister

Buffets aren't tourist traps if you go literally anywhere but Vegas, they're just relatively cheap restaurants with tons of food, much of which is usually delicious. The east is teeming with good buffets. The west is truly trash, Vegas especially.

I ate there with two other people until we were full as snakes and I covered the whole thing and a $6 tip for $20.

This is just a personal anecdote and probably not representative of the entire chain

but the only time I ever go to Waffle House, it's at like 2 or 3 in the morning when I get off work.
During those shifts, I've NEVER had any staff member be anything less than the friendliest person I've met that day. Waffle House is one of the few places I actually tip, because the people there deserve it. It actually feels like you're in a 50's diner or something.
I don't know if they're doing that because waffle house hires good people, or if their tips are motivating them, but either way it works.

You sound like a lovely person but if I was working for only 2 some dollars an hour and absolutely relying on tips to get by, then I'd be a fucking sweetheart to every vile person that came into eat as well.

Not that you are vile but having worked in shitty customer service food jobs before, it's hard to view customers as anything but an asshole and it's honestly a huge relief every time someone is not a douche n a half.

So again, thank you for being lovely. But having to rely on tips to get by in life is silly and the idea someone couldn't pay their worker more than that is laughable.

The first place that comes to mind is this locally owned chinese restaurant that everyone in my shithole flyover college town raves about having "the best chinese food." I went there once, ordered Szechuan Chicken, and when it arrived, it was just some hideous looking chicken with the consistency of dog food covered in a black sauce. My friend ordered the "Hunan Chicken" which looked exactly the same.

I took a couple of bites, and it wasn't remotely spicy. There wasn't a single pepper in the dish. I flag down my waiter (who was very courteous) and told him this wasn't what I ordered. He takes it back, apologizes, and then about five minutes later the owner/manager of the restaurant busts out of the kitchen with my plate of food and starts yelling at me, holding the plate directly in front of my face, telling me this IS what I ordered. I told her it did not taste anything like what I was expecting, and I just didn't like it. She said it was "my own fault for not knowing what I want" and then kept demanding I pay for it. My friend then spoke up and told her to just fuck off already so he could finish his meal and get out of that shithole restaurant. They took my dish off the tab, my friend paid for his food, and I left the waiter $5 for at least keeping his cool in front of me even if I did frustrate him as well.

And from what I have noticed, absolutely everything they serve is covered in that same disgusting black sauce. It's terrible how this place is considered "great chinese food" in my area.

Seriously though.
We have a place near my house called Foxes. Used to be a wonderful steakhouse in the middle of the desert. I always got a nice roast lamb shank with a beautiful dark sauce.

Then they took the tortilla chips and freshly mortared salsa away
Then they closed off 2/3 of the dining room
Then they had only one waitress at any given time.
The last time I would ever go there was right after graduation and they've only gone down hill since then. Sad to see a place that was doing so much business ruined just because of a new owner.

This fancy as furk steak restaurant my parents took me to as a present for graduating college. I'm a big eater and I am not picky by any means. I got the dry aged steak horseshit by urging of my parents and the waiter saying it is the epitome of high-end steak dining. It was the most underwhelming experience of my life... and for nearly a hundred bucks for my steak alone.

My dad's a big Chinese takeout fan, so whenever he moves to a new area he tries all the local places until he finds the one he likes the most. With this last move, he told me he found a place his neighbors said was the all-time best. When he got it, their food was rotten.

Just a couple weeks ago, I was out of town with the rest of my family. We went to some chain called "Extreme Pizza" and got a supreme-esque pizza and one with chicken and bacon or something. It was barely edible - I couldn't taste the cheese, and I swear the chicken wasn't even fully cooked. I had to drench it in chili flakes and ranch (which they served with it for some reason?) to get any semblance of flavor. The supreme was mediocre (still used ranch), but at least I wasn't afraid of food poisoning. Everyone else liked it for some reason, but fuck me if I ever go back.

In some states during sex ed class the teacher can only mention same-sex relationships if the information provided shows same sex relationships as bad. Teachers are getting paid to shame LGBT students for existing and kids are killing themselves at LGBT conversion camps. It's not harmless.

Why wouldn't a bible thumper vote for someone who shares their religion? That'd affect a lot of the policies they care the most about. It makes perfect logical sense for them to vote based on ideological similarities. People give a fuck about them not liking gays because they're taking the profit from their okay food and giving it to people with bad agendas. It is effectively the same as paying people to abuse gay kids in exchange for an alright sandwich when you could get a similar sandwich from someone who doesn't do that.

Golden Corral.

I had never gone to one until I was about half way through high school because my parents always said they were disgusting places. I was on a school trip and everyone else on the team really wanted to eat there. I was hungry as hell and wasn't allowed to ditch the group and go find food on my own or something, so I went along.

I don't know if I've ever been in a more disgusting restaurant in my life.
>completely unwatched small kids running everywhere, grabbing food from the buffet counter things with their bare hands
>one fucking kid even grabbed a piece of chicken, licked it and put it back in the tray
>trod-on food EVERYWHERE on the floor, was like a fucking minefield
>hamplanet parents stuffing themselves with revolting amounts of food while completely ignoring their kids
>some "clean" plates and silverware are visibly grimy
>the entire place somehow stinks to high heaven of sweat and urine despite being filled with aromatic food

I ended up barely trying the food I was so disgusted with the place, which, in retrospect, was probably a really good thing since half of my team came down with food poisoning.

having a stomach ache and food poisoning are two different things. If you get a stomach ache it hurts for a bit and you'll either shit it out or vomit, then you'll be fine. Food poisoning is a completely different animal. You will be vomiting and shitting every 15 minutes until you run out of fluid, and then your body will continue to convulse and dry-heave; taking down water will result in more vomit. It can last for a day or two as well, and the rest of your week of recovery will be miserable

Based off of your post, I hope you get the latter very soon.

I'm just underwhelmed every time I've ever been there. The cheap looking ghetto chinese places always have better prices, higher volume, and less chance for disappointment.

The difference there is that they funded multiple anti-LGBT charities, several of which supported things like conversion therapy and denying service to homosexuals. If you eat there then your money could go straight to one of those foundations.

Of course they stopped funding those charities like three years ago, so now it's just hate on an entire chain for the CEO's personal opinions. I don't see the problem anymore. Not like the heads of any other major corporations aren't actively causing harm somewhere.

In the several times I've been there (family liked the place), I've seen my fair share of morbidly obese families eating in silence. That place is just gut-wrenching come dinnertime. The other day, though, I went in with my brother almost the moment they opened. Everything was freshly cooked, the sunlight actually made its way through the windows, and none of the utensils had beyond trace amounts of feces on them. It was over all actually a pretty great experience. I had no idea how nice the place could be before they lost all hope at the end of the day.

>Wendy's
When I was 14 or so my dad took me and my siblings to Wendy's. I got a "spicy" chicken sandwich and Dad got the new boneless wings, the Asian ones specifically. We sat in to eat. My food was okay, no chain does spicy chicken right. But Dad's...

When he opened the box he immediately let out an involuntary "Oh!" I took a look and nearly gagged. Those were not chicken wings. Looked more like balls of viscera in the general color of wings, and they stank of fucking rubbing alcohol.

Being the jackasses we were, my dad said he'd pay me five bucks to eat one. I grabbed one and popped it in my mouth. It was chewy, tasted like rubbing alcohol smells and was PACKED with ligament. Easily the worst thing I've ever had the displeasure of eating in my life.

Even worse, my usually pretty aggressive dad didn't any kind of Hell. He just tossed 'em and we went elsewhere for his food. Whatever sociopath gave us that box of suffering got away with it completely.

None of their shit tastes good and the only reason they're still in business is because they partnered up with happy joe's to do pizza delivery and that all the local old folk still eat there to see their grandkids work or something.

So let's take that logic further:
>diagnosed with other mental issues

What constitutes a "mental issue". What constitutes sanity, and what constitutes the way one ought to be? Until these ideas, if they exist, are generated within your own head or taken from others. There is no in between, and as such, they're subject to fault. Anon, it's been a mere 65 or so years since psychiatry was little above medieval quackery. A Nobel prize was being given out for pioneering the lobotomy, and hospital staff everywhere were roaming about with their leucotome and mallet, eager to fix the problem. And they did. If you can call that a fix. Then we had the days of thorazine and other crude antipsychotics. It's just funny, how quickly people forget. People used to be very distrusting of physicians, not look at society. Wrapped around their little fingers.

Either way, I think things are much better viewed in strictly functional terms. We can throw all that out. Get rid of of subjective ideas about how things should be. When it comes down to it, who cares? People will do what they do, and no amount of straight camp or whatever the big thing these days is, is gonna change that. The media will continue to warp people. Culture will continue to exert its effect, as will social feedback loops. It doesn't even matter, and we're overpopulated to begin with.

The only thing I have a problem with, is the trans thing. Mainly because I see a clustering of ideas and philosophical standpoints that just don't make shit for sense to me. Probably because they don't make shit for sense. But it's difficult to ascertain what makes us what we are, nor what to do with it. I'm really goddamn sick of seeing and hearing about this trivial bullshit as though it makes half a difference. Enough already. Can you point to even one indication your idea of "helping" these people isn't itself highly destructive?

Are you really trying to tell me that McDonald's can't spare 5 more dollars? For every worker?
They literally have billions of dollars and if they lose money its because they're being cheap to begin with. That's why they got such a bad rap from people like Morgan Spurlock. If they actually paid attention to quality control they wouldn't have to spend extra money to rework their ingredients and ad campaigns. And if they paid their workers better they might not have crazy incidents of workers fucking next to the cooler Or whatever nonsense is going on in a micky D's because someone is working for 8 dollars an hour and they can't give a shit about their job because they're being treated awfully to begin with.

I'm never eating in a mall cafeteria again. I used to go back in the day because it was convenient and cheap. I went to some random generic mall chinese food place, got noodles + chicken and fish dishes, with a small drink it came out to fucking $13. That much for mall food? Are you shitting me? Not too many years ago the same food was for like $8. Now they give me bullshit excuses how food prices have gone up.

It's $4 per day, not per hour.

While there is a federal minimum wage (7.25/hr), certain states and cities have enacted higher minimum wages than federal.
It is, however, legal to pay restaurant servers less than the minimum wage because even the federal government expects that they be tipped. Earning $2.75 an hour, a server must report earned tips to at least the minimum wage when filing their taxes. If this server earns cash tips, he or she likely does not claim these when filing taxes, as usually servers working for $2.75+tips make a little more than minimum wage. That's illegal, but it's mostly what happens.
So in some establishments, when you don't tip your server, you are ensuring that while waiting on your table, he or she was earning nearly a third minimum wage.

Anonymous Fri May 22 18:18:29 2015 No.6531162

>>6531159
To add, I forgot, if the server earns fewer tips in a given year than would add up to an average hourly wage or the minimum along with the $2.75 hourly, the business owner must then pay the server to match up to minimum wage. This also rarely happens.

Friend of mine told me that they gave a friend of her's a salad with finely chopped onions after she had explicitly stated, three times, that she was allergic to onions. Didn't end too well, the manager's wife didn't even want to recompensate the meal.

It's useful to think of corporations as a kind of AI/autonomous entity with money as the largest term of their utility functions. That is, increasing profits as much as possible is the primary goal. This applies most particularly to publically traded companies, because the stock market is built around the principle that businesses make money for the people that own them. It's not really that McDonald's "can" spare $5, but rather that every fiber of its being screams at it to do nothing of the sort.

I'm not saying this is necessarily a bad or good thing, it's just helpful for answering those pesky questions of why corporations don't give any more of a shit about their employees than they're obligated to in order to make more money. It'd take a pretty big paradigm shift for unskilled workers to be paid enough to live comfortably. One possibility might be more nonprofit companies, which under this model would have something other than money as the primary term of its utility function.

At something like 85% of McDonald's locations, the employees aren't even being paid by McD's corporate; it's the franchisee.

Employees are the single greatest expenditure of nearly every business. for any company operating on razor-thin margins (like low-end foodservice), a 50%+ increase in payroll costs would completely destroy any hope of profitability without huge price increases, which would be a death sentence for McDick's.

KFC. Simply the worst chicken of any fast food place I've ever eaten. Even fucking Dairy Queen has better chicken. The real nail in the coffin was when a Popeye's opened up nearby.

This is more local, but the Gustav's in Vancouver, WA was also quite possibly the single worst restaurant experience I've ever had, and I say that as someone who eats out way the fuck more than he should. Horrible service, 90 fucking minutes between ordering our food and getting our appetizers, ridiculously overpriced for the portion sizes, and none of the five people in my party actually enjoyed anything they ordered. It had literally no redeeming qualities.

I've found Taco Bells can vary immensely from place to place. The ones in my hometown were like the bottom-of-the-barrel shitholes where you'd only apply to work after you'd been fired from McDonald's, KFC, and Arby's, had no real consistency, and would regularly fuck up even the simplest orders. I walk over to the one across the street from my job once a week or so, though, and it's always clean, the staff are competent, and I've never once had an incorrect order. It's like night and day.

And if a single person can't support themself on minimum wage, they're doing something wrong.

But if you're really that concerned about the plight of those on the bottom rung of the career ladder, perhaps you should look at solutions that might actually help them. Single-payer health care would go a lot further than wage inflation, for one.

All you accomplish with a "livable" wage is to make the middle class poorer.

There was a place called "The Works" that opened in my city last year, I think it was a franchise from Ontario.

Went there twice. First time was alright, but the second time we did not have our orders taken for half an hour, and then it was almost two hours before our appetizers came, and then another hour for the food.

I'd like to take this time to point out that "The Works" is not fine dining, it's a sit down burger restaurant whose gimmick is like 90 types of burgers on the menu. We waited over two hours for some burgers. The only reason we did not leave is because I had money down that they actually forgot about us, like our waitress went home and did not pass on our order. But nope, the food came, just ages after we ordered it.

When I came home from working across country this fall and found out the restaurant had gone out of business, I could hardly say I was surprised.

I was at an asian buffet in an area with a lot of asian people. As a result along with the typical stuff they had some more traditional dishes. Among them was boiled chicken feet. That was probably the most stupid thing I've eaten in years, just tastes like seasonings and bones and greasy tendons and shit.

Dear Asians: why do you eat this shit, you're in the land of the free where you can eat the rest of the chicken, you aren't a starving dirt farmer anymore

Most likely it was a franchise, and he doesn't have the option of ordering from another store out of area unless he picks it up.
When I worked at Domino's, the drivers were never trained how to make anything, or food safety or anything. I threw out days old bottles of sauces and meats all the time and when I'd ask about unlabeled food, my boss would say not to worry about it since the OER inspectors had already came through.
Unlike a Mcdonalds, drivers are rarely in the store at all so they aren't trained at all.
Touching food without gloves, never washing hands, the insiders were always on point but drivers usually outnumber them by twice as much.

Once I stopped at this "restaurant" called The Buffalo Stop with some of my family. The place looked a bit dodgy, but there was a family with 2 kids dining out on the front so we thought the food would be at least edible. The first thing we saw walking inside was a sign that proclaimed "If you don't like the food, then your standards are too high." This was the first warning sign. At the counter was this 60something woman with saggy tits wearing a man's T-shirt. She asked me if I wanted the chicken in my sandwich shredded or sliced. When I replied that I wanted it shredded, she wrote "SHE-" on the slip before pausing to cross it out and replace it with "pulled." I guess she didn't know how to spell shredded. Upon sitting at the table, we noticed the tablecloth was dirty and covered in dead insects. There were also a couple of mosquitoes floating about the area. The group of people sitting at the table next to us cheerfully advised us to spill pepper on the table to ward them off. They must have been regulars. When I got the food, I noticed there was a small dead bug lodged in the underside of the provided plastic fork. The sandwich wasn't too horrifying though, and we all ate our meals without repercussions.

Afterwards we visited the target of our roadtrip, the Walker Lake. It stank heavily of dead fish. Reason being that the dumbfucks who operate things apparently keep dumping fish into the lake despite it being too salty for them to live. Something about it drying up or whatnot.

Most of that stuff actually sounds delicious but seriously. You realize it's okay to dislike things right? You realize that by your logic we should be keeping cattle in the yard and draining their blood to keep alive over the winter because it's authentic starving European cultural delicacies.
>comparing chicken feet to all that good shit
Yea it's not even close, something with not a lick of meat on it that feels like chewing on an ear does not a good meal make.
It's also funny that you're trying to paint me like I'm some uncultured swine but the stuff you listed all sounds very vanilla

Yea I'm sure I need to fly my cracker ass over to Ulongdingdong China to experience what chicken and potatoes is like.

Since you seem to be incapable of reading why don't I spell this out for you: just because it's a cultural delicacy that Lang Wu had to eat in the Ching dynasty so that he didn't have to kill and eat his kid does not make it good, but like fucking clockwork stupid fuckers like you will always pretend it is.

My family is never going back to the Ruby Tuesday's in our town. Everything was fine there until one day when the service was terrible. It took us over 45 minutes just to get a table, when we could clearly see tables that were empty and just needed bussing. I guess that's what happens when your wait staff is also in charge of bussing tables. The bad service didn't stop there, but I can't remember specifics since it was years ago.

The vast majority of buffets. Went to a chinese one recently and while I loved them as a kid, it was pretty disgusting. Inconsistent temperature (i.e. some dishes were scorching hot, other lukewarm), horrible quality and everything, except the soft serve was not good.

The vast majority of major chains. The smaller, rationalized ones can hold pretty decent quality, but in general they are really shitty. Jack n the box is my only exception, because I have a fetish for the jalapeno poppers.

There's a pizzeria where I used to go all the time with my family when I was in the area for the summer. One day they lost my order (what the actual fuck) and me and my family waited over an hour, seeing people coming in and getting served before us. Then they brought us cold pizzas. We left without even touching them, and din't pay for our drinks. This was ten years ago and we never went back.

Service there is always great even if they're packed. Food is mediocre tex mex but I really can't complain since it's better than a lot of places around here.

which I explicitly said towards the top of my post. I made it clear that disliking a dish is okay, but should be separated from dismissing an entire culture's cuisine.

that's what you did you idiot. you brought on the discussion of traditional Chinese foods, I just made clear what you failed to because you don't understand anything about foreign cuisine.

>everything sounds vanilla
because you ignored everything about the cooking style and sauces. yes, big fucking surprise, chickens and potatoes exist in other countries. but whereas your flyover ass roasts them with salt and pepper for three hours at 350 degrees americanheit, Uyghur people stir-fry and then braise theirs in a sauce that consists of garlic, various kinds of capsicum, cumin, lao-chou soy sauce (thick soy for braising), and shaoxing wine (Chinese sherry) among other things. you cannot compare your flyover garbage to Eastern cuisine just because the central ingredients are the same, there's still 50 other points of variation that you are unable to respect because you literally have the palatal development of a child.

I can't imagine why the Asians like them. For the operator of the buffet, though, if the clientele likes chicken feet, it's a no-brainer. The feet must be cheap as hell, and every chicken foot a customer eats is that much less of some other more expensive foodstuff they've got out.

Quite the contrary, actually. Not supporting some idiotic handout demanded by service sector wage slaves doesn't make me a republicunt, you know.

An exorbitant minimum wage does nothing to solve the income inequality problem in the long term. Such a change would affect such a large segment of the economy that it would ultimately just speed up inflation, reducing the purchasing power of the people who made a little more than the new minimum and didn't see the same increases that minimum wage earners got.

Many of the people making minimum wage now would find their hours cut back while every expense they have starts to skyrocket. The vast, vast majority would find themselves in about the same circumstances or worse. The market for under-the-table, less-than-minimum-wage labor would increase, but that situation would also become almost unlivable.

Protip: No economic policy is going to fix things in the US without taking a lot more from the country's top wealth hoarders. And no, owners of minimum wage businesses aren't in that group. Unfortunately, I don't think we have a shot at real reform until most of the boomers die off.

This is why I call you a flyover.

>50 points of variation
1. a farm-raised chicken is killed and plucked that morning while you buy hormone-injected Tyson breasts with no bones because they hurt your fragile fuccboi mouth
2. the potatoes are peeled and cut, not haphazardly thrown into the oven half-cut
3. your garbage is just treated with salt and pepper
4. you are in love with the 350 setting on your oven
5. you toss your shit into a 3.99 9x13 nonstick cake pan from Wal-Mart because you have no idea how to cook
6. dapanji chicken is first seared at a high heat to form a strong crisp on the chicken and potatoes
7. garlic is added
8. green chilis are added
9. red chilis are added
10. lao-chou is added
11. shaoxing wine is added
12. star anise is added
13. roots such as cinnamon are added
14. tomato is added for thickness
15. the pan used may be several generations old, typically it's a well-used, well seasoned wok
16. the whole dish is cooked for around 45 minutes, not 3 hours
17. the sauce is reduced until it becomes a nice gravy
18. the whole thing is served on top of flat white noodles
19. it's eaten with rice wine and by a whole family of working men, not a single fat idiot who will die alone
20. Uyghur people have purpose in life, and you are an asshole
I know what you're thinking
>but that's only 20
Well guess what shitface, it's a fucking hyperbole. I know that doesn't make sense to you because you dropped out of elementary school to go to church school full-time and fuck your mother for tendies points, but bear with me here, that's 20 points of variation and I'm sure I left a lot off, and that's a hell of a lot of difference when many French mother sauces have only one or two points of variation.

I have a buddy that used to go there a lot, he said the food quality took a dive because they had to fire the old cook, but I've never been there myself. If you haven't yet you should look into the general store in Anamosa, decent food and you can eat overlooking the Wapsi. Also, if your into the whole folk/country music scene they usually have some locals playing on the weekends.

please be trolling? just because a lot of things are overpriced does not mean that substantial differences between quality can exist, you just haven't ever had an outstanding steak before. a high quality dry aged filet is a completely different experience from any other steak, the marbled fat will turn completely liquid like when you're eating a french duck, it will plop in your mouth like when you're eating caviar. the texture is different, too.

I'm in Taiwan. Pretty much any "foreign cuisine" place here is garbage. They charge 5X what the local places do, serve skimpy portions, and it's usually badly made bland crap that is 90% starch.

Late night at work, the only place open was an "Italian" place. They wanted to charge me US$2 for a glass of tap water, and they acted like complete assholes when all I got was a single overpriced pasta dish. It was about as bad as a can of Spaghetti-O's, and IIRC it had exactly one fragment of sausage in it.

I really don't know why the Taiwanese put up with this shit. Just because it's "foreign cuisine" doesn't make it worth even a tenth of what they're paying for it.

The thing is people are scraping at that $15 an hour through social programs so the real choice isn't between a minimum wage and no minimum wage, it's between government control with corporate skimming of programs or putting money in peoples' pockets to manage themselves.
