when i looked like even more of a shithead punk i always made a point of tipping REALLY well when we got good service without side-eye. break the stereotype a little.

Yeah, I have an idea what place s/he meant and I /hate/ that chain restaurant. Really does attract that sort.

About eight of us left a motorcycle drag strip after racing all day and headed into a nice restaurant. We were a little rough looking, sunburned, oil-stained, etc. We saw the waitresses basically flip a coin as to who had to take us. The coin toss loser found us to be a decent, high spending (we were starved) and…

I'm comfortable with my choice, thanks...

I do have a resturant revenge story but it is not against the customers, it is against the manager.

Eh, I guess we're all jerks when we're 18.

People do that to me in the library all the time. They'll walk up to the reference desk and look me in the eye and just say "Clifford." or "Elephants?" I like to dish it back at them until they get the point. "Lions." "Book?" "Yes." "Non-fiction?" "Yes." "Grade?" "... ... It's for my fifth grader who yadda yadda…

My husband bemoaned my tipping practices, because I tend to overtip. He was all "The store is less than a mile away, you don't have to give them $5." But then we had a pizza guy that just about started crying when I told him I didn't want any change, giving him a $5.75 tip. He hadn't been sure he would make it back to…

I always order the exact same coffee: 16 oz non fat raspberry mocha. I had a barista accidentally make me a *white* chocolate mocha, realized her mistake, gave it to me anyway, assuring me it was great and I would love it. It was wretched.

Christ. I'll fix that, thank you.

I pulled this off Shutterstock, but if they are in fact french fries in a shawarma it's a perfect representation of middle eastern food done Pittsburgh-style, so it works.

He meekly accepted the grits, ordered something else (he was pissed that he had to pay for the grits, but seriously, dude, I was not authorized to comp a damn thing unless the food was actually spoiled), and left. Quietly. Though he did return to the his table for a moment after paying, when the cook yelled from the…

This. And I'll do you one better: I went into a new, all-vegan place today, and got very excited when I saw gluten-free bread options for the burgers, when it occurred to me to ask about what brand of GF rolls they were using for that since I've never in six years been able to find any that are both vegan and GF. The…

I worked at Outback Steakhouse for a long time, and I remember my manager kicking two customers out on the spot, forcibly removing their dinner plates from in front of them. There had been a couple seated nearby (regulars there, sweetest people in the world), who just so happened to both be blind. And they would…
