I stayed in a hotel in Ireland with my partner years ago, a standard conference/mid range sort of affair, and we were flying out really early in the morning so just decided to get dinner at the hotel's restaurant. The only choice was the 40pound per person prix fixe kind of deal, so we did that. It was unbelievably…

I’ve never been to a Friendly’s and received normal service.

I once stopped at a Friendly’s with a friend when we were poor college students, and I think the waitress may have been drunk— slurred speech, really confused, the whole 9 yards. She comes over to check on us after we had placed our order, and proceeds to…

The people insisting “dipped” is at all self-explanatory and the rest of us are morons for not knowing this bizarro regionalism are making me want to set something on fire.

BEER REFILLS IS THE THEST BING EVER!!!!!

A Louisiana company called Zapp’s makes Crawtators. They are regular old kettle chips with crawfish seasoning. Pretty sure there’s no crustacean in them. https://www.zapps.com/zapps-cajun-cr…

I’ve posted this story before, but fuck it, I’m telling it again.

My children have never disrespected a server, but Mr. Momster and I met, married, and had our first child while we were both working in a restaurant (he as a manager, me as a server because let's face it, managers make shit money and servers make more). We tip a minimum of 20% for average service, and have always…

Oh you rapscallion, you.

I was at a very cool restaurant in Philly last week, and the waiter, such a cutie, asked whether there were any allergies. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm allergic to crunchy...and red" and I waited to see a flicker of anything across his face. Nothing! The guy was a total pro. He was already starting…

Friday my bf and I went to Chipotle. He always asks for extra cheese, and is similarly disappointed. Well this time the girl behind the counter took both hands, grabbed massive amounts of cheese and dumped it on the burrito. Twice. I guess I looked surprised when she did it because she said "The man asked for extra…

So I would just like to put this out in the world, BCO has made me a better diner and that makes me proud. On Friday I was out with friends, attending a Feminist/We Hate Men (not really, but some people think that's what the word means...) book reading. Afterward, giddy we went to a bar next door and made lots of…

No. She squirts it DIRECTLY ON THE TABLE. The kids proceed to finger-paint the entire table with their chicken strips, ketchup, and Splenda concoction.

Ladies and gentleman, I give you the tale of Saint Basil Fuckoff, the patron saint of waiters and bartenders.

Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.

Him: "Okay, so if my shop had a room that everyone called 'dead nigger storage', think…
