What's the worst experience you've ever had in a restaurant?

Anything counts, from food to other diners to waitstaff, I just want to hear your stories.

I ordered a burger amd cheese fries at this steakhouse one time, and I usually don't cut my burgers in half to eat them, but I did for this one. I'm glad I did because there was a hair inside the patty. I called the waitress over and she looked shocked as fuck. I got a new burger and a second plate of fries though.

I mean, what really can be done, man. Same thing happened when I was younger and we went to a super fancy restaurant that took an hour to find a seat and the food was stuff you could make at home from a box. He'd fucking yell at the staff as if they could do anything about it, or even cared.

Some friends and I went to a restaraunt a while back. I ordered a burger, and I guess they forgot about me? After about half an hour I started getting pissed off and my friends are more vocal than I am, and they gave me my meal free. Still charged me for the booze though, which super irked me.

Why do boomers love yelling at waitstaff so much? I know so many people like this.

>> No.8155673

>>8155654

I think it's because they have the mentality that when someone has a job, any job, they are supposed to be grateful and proud of what they do, so shaming someone is supposed to make them care.

When in actuality no one really gives a fuck about service jobs anymore aside from getting tips or appeasing the boss. When a problem comes up, it's expected to be fixed in the eyes of a boomer because "it's their job" where as the millennial attitude is like "that sucks bro" and more likely to have empathy when something goes wrong.

Idk, boomers are absolute shitheads to service workers. Conversely, millennials are spineless wimps and can be walked over making things like reviews pointless

worst that comes to mind, this past sunday I went to a new place downtown with my parents the day after a big collegiate sporting event. We came in for brunch and ordered coffee immediately as we sat down. They were out of coffee. We got there at 11 in the morning, they'd been open for 1 hour and they were out of fucking coffee.

Maybe this shouldn't such a big deal but the game we'd gone to was a night game so it didn't let out til midnight, which means because of traffic we didn't make back to where I live town till 230am. They crash in their hotel, me at my place. We decide to meet at this place for brunch then they'd head out of town back to their place.

I guess it sez more about me that this the worst I've experienced. Generally I always have decent meals out and rarely does something occur eating out that I find worth complaining about or will stick in my mind. But I'll tell always remember that this place was out of coffee on a sunday morning. We even asked if they were going to try and get anymore and they just said no, we just have decaf.

Whatever, maybe I'll forget about this in a month but fuck them. Also they were out of the oysters I wanted. They had a selection of 2 and the eggs they came with my dads plate were cold, I checked cuz I thought might just be looking for stuff to complain about since we hadn't had proper caffeine intake. Cold as a witch's clit. Fuck

Millennials are "spineless wimps" but that's because nobody in their right mind would take them seriously. When my Dad complains at a restaurant he gets something comped and the manager or even the owner get rolled out to suck him off. When I complain I get bullshit in return and when I press them on the issue I find layers of bullshit. I don't have the patience for it.

One time I was at an Applebees and was stupid enough to order a steak. I ordered it medium rare and when it came out it was well done. I told the waitress that it was well done and I ordered medium rare and she kind of just stared at me. There was this really long awkward silence, and then she says, "yeah that does look well done. I'm sorry" Then there is more silence.. I was kind of expecting her to ask if I wanted a new steak but it didn't seem she was going to, so I ask for a new steak. She looks at me in a confused sort of way and says, "I can check?..."
Now I feel like some kind of asshole for simply asking to get what I ordered. She slowly walks back to the kitchen and disappears for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes some mexican dude brings a new plate to me, sets it on the table, doesn't say a word, and walks away. Waitress is still nowhere to be seen. I cut open the steak and it's fucking medium well. I just left a 20 on the table and walked across the street to mccdonalds. Fuck those guys

Went to Pizzeria Uno with my family when I was pretty young. We were on vacation so it was a touristy place to go. Busy Friday night so waiting a bit longer was expected. Our waitress walked out on the job without telling anyone. After another table that sat down after us had gotten their food, we flagged another waiter. They were as shocked as us, pizza wasn't even that good.

Another time I ordered a pizza online from Papa Johns to bring to a new years party. I get there and they were out of fucking pepperoni. Literally the most common topping. They never bothered to call me explaining the situation. I got there and they offered to make me a different pizza but it would be 20-25 minutes being a pretty holiday. I didn't bring pizza to that party :(

So yeah, PIkajew evolved into Tardijew. His family wheels him to a table across from us and usual loud honking tard noises dominated the restaurant. I mean dude was LOUD. Kills me that his hopeful family still insists Ethan is in there some place. Nah, sorry. Ethan moved to Tater Town a lonnng time ago.

Went to Disneyland for their evening Halloween party. We were meeting another couple and their kids there. Made a reservation at one of the restaurants.

Got inside the park, went to the restaurant to check in. We were just in time for our reservation. Texted the other couple, they said they were just getting into the park. Despite the reservation still had to wait 20 minutes to get seated. Finally sat down, ordered and received drinks. Had to take one of the kids to the bathroom. While i was gone, the girl who I checked in with originally came over to my wife, lied and said that I told her the people we were meeting were not in the park yet, kicked her out and seated another group at our table. The rest of our group arrived right as she went outside, but too late, our table was gone.

Had to wait another 20 minutes for another table. From there it took 40 minutes from ordering our meals to actually getting our meals; one person in our group ordered soup and had to ask again 3 times before they finally brought it to him. Ended up wasting 2.5 hours there and paying a ton of money for mediocre food.

I have two stories I can tell. The first one wasn't so abd for me, I actually found it a little funny but I shouldn't.

>work in the pizza and pasta kitchen of the restaurant

>old man enters the restaurant, sits down at the bar and orders some drinks
>he falls asleep
>minutes later, a waitress comes into the kitchen to bring the dishwasher some dirty dishes
>she starts crying and sobbing
>full mental breakdown, basically
>"That old man over there, it smells like... LIKE HE SHAT HIMSELF!"
>"Well, good thing we can't smell it in here"
>Some other waitress wakes him up and gets him to the restrooms, helps him clean up and get new clothes from the group from a retirement home that he was part of and which was on vacation in the area

The second story was from a couple of months ago, when I went to a local restaurant with my girlfriend and her best friend.
>Look for tables outside near a waterway
>Almost all tables are dirty
>Sit down at the only clean one an wait for one of the waiters to come over.
>After 15 minutes, in which nobody cleaned up the other tables, someone finally came, thank fuck

>Order a tea and ask for ashtrays for the gf and her friend

Parents took me and brother to an Indian restaurant that had recently opened in Melbourne (of course because of having a meal voucher).

Fucking most useless piece of shit restaurant I've ever been to and they definitely went out of business pretty quickly afterwards, here's a list of how badly they fucked up.

1. ordered a beer, opened the sealed lid had a sip and it tasted watery as fuck, poured some into a glass to see wtf I was looking at and it was brown shit-water. Waitress offered me a new beer and to be fair it could have been a fault at the brewery not the restaurant so I was willing to let that slide.

2. Someone ordered a curry that supposedly had 'croutons' in it, those fucking Indians used corn flakes, I know because I saw it in the kitchen window passing through to the toilet.

3. Earwigs all over the fucking toilet, had to hold a shit in until I got home and just pissed all over the earwigs.

4. Playing shitty pooinloo music on a multi-disk CD player, one CD comes to an end and starts blaring a mudvayne CD left in the device (I found this quite hilarious).


Seriously fuck Indians I've had good Indian food but this shit was kitchen nightmares tier bad. I hope the owners had their legs broken by whatever loan shark was dumb enough to fund their shitty restaurant.

I still haven't gone back to that restaurant though and this was like 7 years ago. Ruined everyone's night.

I've very rarely had any issues with service at places but several with shitty people who were in my party.

The one time I felt like that shitty person is when I was hanging out with a band while they were touring and they asked if there was anywhere to get ice cream this late. So I tell them of a place that you can sit down at and has food and ridiculous ice cream concoctions. Fast forward five minutes and they're back in the venue and announce on stage the name of the place and everyone who was still around was invited for ice cream on the band. It was a nice gesture but 40 people showed up unexpected to the place at like 11pm on a weekday when they close at 1. I also knew one of the people who worked there and apologized. It was a large place with a party room but obviously they were unprepared for something happening on such short notice. Especially with people all trickling in over the course of 30-hour

He was actually understanding. My guess is they didn't clear the order from the night before and staff just saw "delivery 1am Wednesday" at like 11pm on Wednesday and didn't realize that the delivery had already taken place 20 hours earlier and delivered it again at 2am thursday. This was the early days of grubhub and online ordering. On the plus side for them, I ordered a very specific pizza and they probably all got to eat it.

It was all I could to to stop myself from cackling like a lunatic. All I wanted was to fucking eat dinner; little did I know that I had been unwittingly transported into a Kafka novel and was the protagonist of my own absurdist tale. I didn't bother going back up to return the basil and ask for another vegetable topping; I just ate the damn sandwich and left. I didn't even ask for any portion of my money back because that would signal some iota of intention to return.

I don't. Ever.

Comprehension is required for intelligence. If someone is this stupid I don't want them touching my food.

If they're going to go down every little thing, don't market these as new sandwiches. Instead of "this big fancy new teriyaki sub!" just say "we now have chicken teriyaki"

I went to this place called Mr. Pizza near Little Tokyo. We were seated by the waiter and looked over the menu for a bit. Other people shortly came in after and were seated. I noticed that we never even got a drink order in since the waiter only handed us the menus. Tried to flag down waiters, kept ignoring us. After 30 minutes we see that everyone else that was seated after us in the restaurant has drinks and some even have their food already. Finally a waiter comes up to us like he wants to kill himself for taking our order. We finally get the ball rolling, eat, and then ask for the bill. That place has an automatic 20% tip already in the bill. Fuck that noise. We complained but nothing came of it. Manager wouldn't budge. We all had to pay it in full. I have never been so mad in my life.
Mind you we aren't a bunch of obnoxious 16 year olds or a big party. It was four people and we were all well over 21. We know our table manners. If I can give any advice to anyone it would be to never go there unless you want to give mandatory tips to assholes who don't deserve it.

I grew up with a few Indian friends, and I eat with their families a few times and it was freaking delicious.

Every damn Indian restaurant I've been at have been horrible and disgusting. The rice and bread they served was old and just reheated or something, I could freaking taste it was old. The meat and stews were reheated but at least they didn't taste like last weeks rice & bread I got.

This example isn't in a restaraunt but it's about pizza delivery.


Back like a decade ago, me and my friends decide to order pizza like 2 hours before seeing "Juno" at the local theater (Walking distance away). We decide to order from the local pizza hut that was 2 miles away( Opposite direction of the theatre) from my house and like 3 street lights away ( We were just under the legal driving age at the time and we didn't have a car to drive ourselves to the pizza hut. ). We decide to order and I specifically told the person handling the delivery calls that, " we need the pizza before X time or just don't take the order at all". He reassures me that they're able to do the delivery and I'm reassured. We wait an hour for the pizza to come and get worried. I decide to call the guy handling orders and he tells me that the pizza is still coming. I told him to just cancel the order since it's clearly unacceptable that it took this long, but he reassured me that the order was coming. Another 30 minutes goes by and we head off to walk to the theater hungry. After the end of Juno and coming home, my brother who stayed home to play counter-strike told me that the delivery person came 40 minutes after we left to go see "Juno". The delivery driver apparently got in to an accident and came back to deliver some of those pizzas. He yells at my Brother for refusing to pay for the pizza's and storms off.

Entitlement that comes with an aging attitude.
When some folks get older they expect things to be done in a certain manner because any kind of inconvenience is taken as a personal slight. Some millennials can be the same, but they do it more out of ignorance and being unable to control their frustration.

Additionally, something about food always triggers people.
Compared to my customer service job now as opposed to an old job I had as a grocery store cashier, people are meaner when they feel they're being fucked out of food. Right now I'm in an industry where people literally pay hundreds to break contracts, or I have to tell them they're gonna miss out on funerals and weddings. And I swear I've had some take it better than back in 2009 when I had to tell some old fuck I couldn't take his expired .50cent coupons. Or had to tell someone they couldn't buy hot meals using EBT.

People are miserable cunts when it comes to food. Wouldn't wish food service on anybody.

I enjoy reading your guy's stories but everytime it still leaves me wondering why you guys have these problems. Given if you met me I would prolly seem one of the most impatient people you ever met.

These examples are actually a theme for me:

Go to a take out place and nobody is at front counter to greet me and take my order in 30 seconds.

Walk out.

Go inside a fast food joint and there is over ONE person in line.

Walk out.

If I don't get exactly what I ask for in a timely manner when I'm sitting in a restaurant.

Walk out.

The only time I go thru a drive thru is if there is ZERO cars in the line.

Seriously thou even if I ask for a check and it takes more than a couple minutes for it to come.

I walk out.

Even if they notice and ask me wtf I'm doing, I tell them it was taking to long. I got shit to do man. At least I have enought food options in my town that I don't have to take any of that lazy ass shit.

Jesus Christ.

The phrase is "I couldn't care less" Meaning you care so little about something that its IMPOSSIBLE for you to care any less than you already do.

"I COULD care less" What does that mean? You're literally saying it IS possible for you to care less, meaning you must already care about it in the first place. It misses the point completely.

It is literally "duh" and "no duh" which both mean the same thing.

Since they are social expressions, it may be too much for you to understand, since you seem to be of the opinion that people talk to each other only using literal expressions based on their word choice.

Just because service is slow or the food is bad doesn't mean a waiter isn't doing their job. Not doing their job would be sitting on their ass not taking any orders. Everyone has made a mistake on the job at some point and you don't fucking expect to not get paid. There are plenty of fast food workers who fuck up regularly and get paid more. You are legally required to be paid for the work you do. The whole tips pay half the waiters wages thing is a ridiculous broken system but that does not excuse not tipping.

How bad are your reading comprehension skills wow
First of all it's not "extra cash" it's the money needed to pay MINIMUM wage.
Second, I said I don't work in the food service industry. I never have and I hopefully never will have to. But unlike some people on here who lack basic human empathy, I understand that if you're working a shitty restaurant job, you clearly need to be paid the amount you are legally required. I obviously pay more for good service and less for poor service, but straight up not tipping or even not paying only hurts struggling working people and doesn't fix any of the problems you complain about. Just stop going to a restaurant if you don't like their service. Then maybe the management will see they have a problem that needs fixing. Even if they don't, why should you care. It's not hard to find a better restaurant. Treating a single waiter like shit isn't going to make upper management change a goddamn thing.

Wage + tips has to make minimum or the employer pays the difference. That's not local law, not state law, that's FEDERAL FUCKING LAW.
And if you don't make minimum wage you're probably going to get fired because it means you're a shitty server.

You sat yourself, outside at that, and then seemed upset that they didn't immediately bring you menus.
