(Totally OT, not SAH/WOH related, so feel free to not respond)


I went out with 5 other women to dinner last night.

Yep you got it. :) A waitress can also offer something within reason or go to the manager to okay what she/ he would like to do to fix the problem.

Passionate issure for me obviously.

I have a real problem i admit it is mine, with ppl who expect something for nothing. Just like a bully...We call it the "no tolerance rule"

ha...my threshold is pretty high before i reach a breaking point. put it this way,my family and i come to restaurants hungry. if our waiter is annoyed by my sometimes whiny,hungry kids,if our waiter fails simple courtesy and etiquette like an apology if our order is brought out late or wrong,if i have to remind a waiter more than 2X for a diet coke refill,h/she'll be called on it. and it's usually a pattern of wrongs in one night,not just one thing that warrants a request to see the manager.

I frequent a sports bar in my area and no matter what is going on there, no matter how busy they are we get seperate tabs.

Might want to clarify this statement then:

"You make a habit of not tipping we bar you. :) which means you not welcome back."

that is fantastic, it would not work in our place or would i expect it to. Being a high tech system is beside the point.

Why would i need to claify that? It is pretty simple, if you expect something and do not pay for it, your not welcome.

I agree, of course this merits a talk to the manager. But it does not imply a wait staff would be fired. Did you say that? I do not fire staff having bad nites! those things happen.

You have to consider the entire story.
