Yeah, so the waiter needs to go back and make sure the cooks are doing their job, as i have 8 tables and have to clean up my section during a rush. It's not like that the Kitchen manager is supposed to control the quality of the food we serve. Front of house managers are shit as well, especially at a place like Applebee's. When i waited tables at chain, on several occasions i noticed something was off about a dish, and told my manager. Depending on who it was, they would either try to get me to sell it (which makes me look bad, and it always gets sent back.) or they will fly a correct dish. You've never worked in a restaurant.

Mine isn't too bad. I was on vacation with my extended family, and they decided to eat at this trendy seafood place. This was back when I was about 10 so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but The restaurant was loud, dark, and cramped. It was several hours before we even got a chance to sit down at our table. They only had 5 or 6 things on their menu, and I think I ordered trout almondine. It was pretty much flavorless.

I was used to eating out before this and I was pretty patient for my age so I don't think I'm distorting the story much.

Brussels is packed with French people who have marketable skills or any real amount of money because it offers a higher quality of life and lower taxes.

A BBQ restaurant tried to serve me pic related one time when I ordered moist brisket. This was in Texas, mind you, where brisket is king.

I brought it to the attention of the manager and he offered to replace it with their smoked sausage, which was somehow worse.

I left a yelp review and included this picture. It is now the "cover picture" for their yelp that everyone sees, which i guess is randomly picked from all the pictures people post, but I think it's pretty funny

I went to this chinese/japanese buffet called Teppanyaki Grill a couple years ago. Worst fucking "food" i've ever had. Fried rice tasted like it was run through some crusty undershirts or something. Chicken wings had to have been made out of paper mache with the awful texture they had. I should have known something was up when the server asked me if I was sure I wanted to dine there. Fucking garbage.

went to a japanese place,
we got our food super slowly, like there was only 3 of us and we all got our food like 10 min from each other.
the food was good but the wait was annoying.
at the end we get the bill and our friend pays the whole thing.
when he gets his receiptback the waiter tells us that the tip is 8 dollar's from each of us and opens his hands.
we tell him that well pay in the bill.
and we see theres a 25 percent gratuity ALREADY included.
so we dont tip and walk out.
and the waiter chases us out yelling NO TIP? NO TIP!??!

I went to a restaurant with my parents about 3 years ago.

We had already been there a couple times (always during the weekend) and they used to have an original and varied tasting menu.
We went there on a Wednesday for dinner and it was bad af.
We were the only people in the restaurant, the chef arrived 15 minutes late and the menu was just some simple dishes I could have cooked myself at home.

Also, the chef sat at our table once we were finished and started being friendly and stuff.
He was one of those people who are confident enough to think everything they say it's funny; well, it fucking isn't.
He kept talking about sex in an explicit way and laughed out loud at his own jokes.

I went to yardhouse 3 times with my ex. She's a veg and each time she ordered a standard entrée with no meat, and each time it arrived with meat. This resulted in her watching me eat my food, then her corrected plate arriving after I finished, then me watching her eat her food.

yeah what kind of stupid ass server doesnt quality check the dish before it even leaves the kitchen? If it looks like shit, have it remade right then and there.

Not the guy you're replying to, but that's not the case at the restaurant I work at.

Cooks are basically god there. It doesn't help that the servers here are generally garbage, but anything the cook says, goes.

We have one cook who will straight up fuck with a server who gives even the hint of attitutde, and if anyone tries to complain to the boss, the cook will shut them both down.

Reminds me of a terrible restaurant experience I had there. It was my birthday so I decided to go the a local greek/Italian restaurant. The area is a bit run down, but the place has been there forever and it was recommended.

The first thing I noticed was the price, it was like $25 for a main. But being my birthday I decided to treat myself with one of the more expensive meals, the lamb roast. With a side of greek salad, garlic bread and lemon rice.

It comes and my first immediate problem is the taste of the lamb. It tasted like ass. Loaded with gristle, bland meat, bland gravy, stringy and overcooked. The rice was undercooked, almost to the point of crunch and was sickeningly sour.

The only good things about my experience was the Greek salad (almost impossible to fuck up) and the service.

Lesson learned, don't always listen to the locals for restaurant options.

Tipping isnt expected its optional unless some shit like a party of 8 or more theres gratuity or something. Stop being a faggot and realize we already have a thread about tipping or not tipping and every one of them ends with actually smart people realizing its optional and whiny pieces of shit still think they are entitled to more money.
