>tfw you're dining with your parents and your dad grabs a bus boy and tells him he's ready to order

Embarrassing restaurant stories thread
>>
My dad would do shit like that all the time growing up.

Granted, it wasn't until years later that I realized he'd smoke a bowl right before we'd go out to eat, and usually have a beer or two.

It's embarrassing, but anyone working FoH will know which server is in charge of that table and should easily be able to let them know.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but that's the service industry.

I don't think that's too embarrassing or unfair for people to do this.

The service industry revolves around quality of service, and people tend to tip a lot better if meet their requests. That's perfectly fine, waiters will be walking by and my Father will lean back and grab their arm, requesting napkins and shit.

While you may think that is embarrassing, these people are MORE than happy to comply. It usually means a 20% tip which is extremely generous

but yea because of this waiters in America are extremely ingratiating to the point of being undignified, so I don't really see a need to start off being a dick to someone who probably lives in a studio with a roommate and cries themself to sleep every night and probably gets sexually harrassed on a daily basis.

then don't take that job. You get paid a ridiculous amount of money if you work as a waiter in a rich area, Rich people love it when you serve them and they pay you a lot of money. What's the issue here?

>>7153826
Take a moment to step back and think. The world isn't here to wipe your ass, you will spend your entire life listening to and serving your superiors. There are two types of people who face problems: people who complain and people who solve those problems.

No one cares if they get walked all over as long as they get paid.

Just ate lunch with my dad today at Luby's, his favorite. He has been getting worse and worse over the years. Here's a few direct quotes from our lunch

Ordering his food
>"what can i get for you sir?"
>every time i order here i have to fight with to get what I want
>it's difficult every time, no matter what
>I'll tell you what I want but you won't get it right
>I want this on a long plate, not the circle ones they're too small
>I want a long plate with stuffing, but i want you to make a hole in the stuffing and fill it with gravy
>you didn't make a hole
Meanwhile an old woman behind us in line is cracking up and she nudges me and says "you can't take him anywhere can you?"
>then i want mashed potatoes and i want you to make a hole in them for gravy too
>then i want a bowl of gravy on the side

At the cash register
>"the two of you together, sir?"
>this is my middle son. I have 3 sons.
>i want a coffee made with half a cup of coffee and half a cup of hot water

The waitress approaches our table
>"can i get you anything?"
>this is my middle son. I have 3 sons. And one granddaughter.
>"oh that's nice"
>I've been eating at luby's since before you were born

I swear he's not retarded, doesn't have alzheimers, dementia, or anything. He just seems to be losing his social skills and becoming more eccentric. He's 65. His fingernails are always long (like really long), yellow and disgusting. I always see people staring at them.

My dad used to work in sales for a small medical company. Not a great job, but he went on a lot of client dinners. My dads boss who owned the firm was very flash, and liked all of his staff to be as well. They all got decent company cars and were allowed to get tailor made suits from Saville Row and charge it to expenses.

Anyway, my dad used to go on these fancy dinners, and apparently back then they were still doing sorbet and palate cleansers between a lot of the courses. Fast forward to now, and any restaurant we go to, he wants to order sorbet between each course. Thankfully he's never done it with me because I always refuse, but it makes me cringe hard. I really dont need a sorbet between my fucking chicken wings and cheese burger.

Are you serious?

Dude, your dad has taste. You should take a note from him and stop being such a modern shithead. He wants to get the most out of his meal and a pallet cleanser does exactly that. It refines the meal in general and allows you to experience food in its fullest. Sounds dapper as fuck; if you don't want him, I'll take him.
>>
>>7154071

Its really not necessary. It just looks far too try-hard. Top restaurants dont do this shit any more, except perhaps when moving from savoury to sweet. And even then, its not really sorbet any more, its something a bit more stylish.

I can't imagine letting going out to eat turn into an embarrassing/stressful experience. The whole point is that you're paying to let others serve you and cook for you so you can kick back and enjoy a stress free meal. The only times I've been embarrassed at a restaurant is when the place just fell apart, the kitchen and FOH couldn't get the orders out in any reasonable time and I picked up on their stress.

The rest of the time it's just a matter of picking a place that more or less matches who you're going out to eat with. For example my dad is an old man now. He doesn't give a fuck anymore. So even though he used to hang with Bocuse back in the day a Michelin star restaurant would be lost on him now. When I go out with dad these days we hit up a family run Greek or Middle Eastern joint where the food will be good and the family serving us understands family going out to eat.

When I go out with my poorfag friends we hit the divey joints with amazing food and little in the way of service. When I go out with righfag friends we hit upscale places where we have a good time.

The only tough nuts are my middle class friends, because they're the ones with all kinds of anxieties about going out to eat. So I usually just meet them for drinks.

I'm sorry your father is difficult but this shit made me laugh.

I work at a restaurant and one of the most common annoyances is when I'm at my table and as I'm walking away, another servers table will ask me to close out them out. I always respond with "Yeah I can tell ___ that you want to close out" I honestly don't care about telling her, but the fact that they ask if I can close their check, as if I'm their server pisses me off. After I tell them that they almost always respond with "Oh I thought you were our server!" There's usually only 2 of us, we don't look the same, and we usually wear different outfits. I don't understand.

Whats "SO"?

One time I was at a Mexican place, sitting near the bar. I was with a girl I hadent seen in a long time and we were catching up, swapping stories. I was being a little to loud and said "niggers" in the middle of a story. There are two obese black women sitting behind her that she doesnt see. I make a "oh no" kind of a face and stop talking, the black women look over at us, to make matters worse my friend starts laughing her ass off. "Hahahaha niggers!" I was so close to just grabbing her hand and walking out the door. Nothing happened though other than me being really embarresed.

How is that embarrassing, OP? I'm genuinely curious. If he's ready to order and the waiter is nowhere to be found, the busboy can at least tip the waiter off that their table is ready to order. Okay, so the busboy isn't the one to take the order. Who the hell cares? He can get in touch with the person who actually does take the order. That's what really matters.

>embarrassing restaurant stories

My dad hits on waitresses all the time. Even when he knows they're probably repulsed by him, he insists on trying to smooth them over. What's really embarrassing is that I've picked up the habit for myself. I get some silly, juvenile kick out of it.

I could never eat sushi with my mom. She offered it sometimes but I wouldn't and just can't bare it. She would eat them like candy, finishing within 10 minutes and then be bored and wondering when the rest will come and just eat too much. She is a bit overweight, not morbidly obese but it sucks going out to diner with her cause she feels she has to eat fast, breathing in from her mouth while still chewing and eating at a speed that is like breathing with every bite.

In general my dad is pretty nice, but I think he expects too much our of servers and waiters. This is kind of something I've noticed with the older generation. I think they come from a time when you worked really hard at any job, no matter how shitty it was.

I remember one day we were talking at the table, and the waitress comes up. We're all ready to order but my dad keeps going on with the conversation. When we're like "dad, she's here, we can order",he's like "she's the waitress, she can wait for us".

Nah, It was in Maine. Pretty sure it was just one of the nicer places in the town. It's one of the best places I've been here.

My sister has had a victim complex since she got her masters in womens studies, and thinks me and my dad are massive racists because we don't agree with her on some things. It's not like we say "Niggers and Jews, BAD NEWS!"

I mentioned a girl had an abortion when I was listing off the reasons a girl life was a train wreck and my sister kept saying "Whats wrong with abortion?".

>also eats like a pig

>her idea of humor is to say basic things ("I love this food") in very loud, confrontational ways
>whenever we have a nonwhite waiter she makes gestures and speaks incredibly loudly assuming they don't speak English

I don't know that I've ever been particularly embarrassed at a restaurant.

But one tine in college, my younger brother (with full beard) and several friends of his and I were eating at a barbecue place. After we were done eating, my younger brother pushed his stomach up against the table to make it look big and waited for a waitress to walk by.

One finally walked by -- just as she got there he rubbed his stomach and said "He's kicking!"

yeah, this sucks.

I get that $20 is a fair tip, and it's fair to tip less for mistakes. But having friendly and natural interaction with your waiter/waitress requires that you allow them, and yourself, to forget that you're scrutinizing them so closely. It's totally autistic to tell them up front that you have your little system for penalizing them if you think they slipped up.

People gotta stop thinking about it as a business transaction and remember that the customer and the waiter are just a couple of human beings. Being polite and friendly &c. helps everyone have a more enjoyable time doing business

I stopped going to restaurants with my parents because they're insufferable. My mother ruined 3 of my birthdays by her acting and when I told her to stop she tried to play the blame game and started genuinely crying and making me feel bad cause I just wanted a normal day out for my bday.

English is not their first language and my dad doesn't speak it very well (mom does, she went to school here to get a diploma). We would go to the same restaurants over and over and for literally fucking 10+ times he'd ask what this or that meant even when we ate it the previous time. There's this bbq place that everyone in the city likes cause there's few bbq joints. He ate there at least 10 times and we went again and he didn't know what "slaw" means cause he can't fucking differentiate between coleslaw and slaw so he made a big deal about it with the waiters.

I really don't get it but my parents go out to eat at least 3-5 times a week and still make it a big deal when they go out and often act like cunts to me about it. I'm not poor and neither are they so it's not like they see it as a privilege to go out to eat.

I've been in the industry for about a decade now, albeit back of house. I can tell you without a doubt if I ever saw a server fuck with anyone's food I would fire them on the spot. Hell, if I catch them dicking around on their phone or not taking care of customers I'll cut their hours for a week. Sometime the FOH manager gets pissed but I don't really give a fuck. We're the one who cook the fucking food and I'll be damned if some server is going to fuck it up because they think taking care of a table and doing a little side work is a "hard job" and one of their current tables isn't fallating their ego. If the customer is behaving bad enough to warrant something like that then I have no problem executing a MPW and giving them the boot but more often than not that is not the case.

Yes, I'm kind of a dick but fucking servers kill me, man. Thats why I've went to only hiring "professional" servers and paying them a full wage instead of hiring these winy fucking college girls who couldn't give two fucks about service.

The idea was that she's needlessly fussy, and then asks for the bartender's name so that if it's not to her arbitrary and inconsistent standards, she traipses behind the bar and addresses the bartender by name to loudly proclaim his or her shortcomings.

I just graduated with my masters degree. My gf wanted to take me to celebrate somewhere nice (2/3 stars) and perhaps invite my mum and sister since my mum took us all out when I graduated with my bachelors degree. Do you think it would be a waste of money? I want her to go and experience it because shes always saying its far too expensive and I think it would be a nice way to celebrate, but Im also not sure it would be worth spending the money on it given that she doesnt have any interest in cooking and claims to like plain food the best. What do?
>>
>>7160847
It's not too late for your mom to experience new things, and if you have an opportunity to splurge and give her a chance to enjoy the things she rarely/never had, you should take it.

We're talking about a woman who gave birth to you and raised you for most of your life. Do some good for her whenever you can. You'll feel better for it.
>>
>>7160885
My gf can afford to take us all. However, I dont really like balet. If someone paid £200 to take me to watch balet, sure I might find it ok, but I wouldnt really appreciate it as much as someone with an interest in balet, who knows what's going on and the skill involved. That money could have been better spent elsewhere. So Im not sure if the same would apply.
>>
>>7160903
Food is the most basic and important need for humans, and delicious food is more likely to be appreciated by a culinary layman than ballet would by someone with equally superficial understanding of it.

We're talking about going out for a meal. All you have to do once you're there is get seated, eat, and enjoy. You don't have to get out a pair of spectator glasses to scrutinize every detail in your dishes.

I have a story that was probably embarrassing for the waiter.

> small restauraunt but not a family run one, lots of business people went there for lunch
> they had a meal where you got a up of soup, a half of a sandwich, and small servings of the daily salads for $7
> I had a bit of a cold at the time since it was during fall, and was there because they had a blessedly fresh dessert case as well as affordable and tasty lunch
> fits like maybe 35 people, there are maybe 15 people there besides me, and only one sort of 'waiter' generally they call the order up aand hand it to you across the counter
> well because of my cold and delicious hot soup, I had to go blow my nose
> I stepped outside the side entrance (6 feet from my table) so I could blow loudly without feeling awkward and so as to not disturb the others eating (yes I will go to the bathroom or outside to blow my nose pretty much anywhere other than taco bell/etc)
> gone for maybe 30 secs, turn around and see the waiter circling my table because you just leave your empty plates for pickup, but I was only halfway done eating
> he's picked up the plate by the time I get back inside and tell him I just stepped out for a moment to blow my nose

But seriously the place had bathrooms, what if someone had to get up for a pee in the middle of the meal, bro? I'm sure they would have given me the same thing for free if he did end up scrapping the leftovers as an apology but still. One of the hazards of eating on your own I guess.

Going out with my mom and little brother can occasionally be a scene. On their own they cause minimal harm if any.

Mom always wants to talk up a storm with the server, occasionally gets a little too in their face if they don't return her enthusiasm properly.

Little brother can be short with people, but servers are usually fine.

But then I get them together, he's getting embarrassed by her, he eventually says so, mom's feelings are hurt to an irreparable state, best case our meal is silent, worst case she cries and or gets the server involved in the conversation.

He does the same thing to our dad, even though our dad isn't even a little embarrassing, but dad shrugs it off and conversation continues as normal.

I hope he's just having his "I'm a big boy, finally in my 20s, jeez my parents are embarrassing!" and he just grows out of it.


Not family, but I had a friend bring Taco Bell to sushi. The server drew no attention to it, but my other friends were super mad. I thought it was funny, and the other five of us still bought sushi and gave the server a nice tip. But my other friends never let him forget it, and not in a joking manner.

>4chan is garbage nowadays

FYI, 4chan always sucked. Before Reddit, there was Gaia, eBaums, and whatever other sources of cancerous newbies /b/ used to condemn. The mainstream attention 4chan got after Chanology certainly didn't help the matter, but it didn't change the root issue in that we were all fuckwads each with our own unique way of shitposting.

Dont bother. If she has never said anything positive about decent food in cheaper places or likes the food you cook, then michelin starred place will be waste of money. Best thing she might get is to pretend to like it out of politeness.

I have this gay friend who is an absolute bitch to waiters or any service workers

I mean we had a poor girl with a lisp serving us, she was cute even, but a terrible lisp, he was talking shit about her where she could hear him.

I can't remember the specifics because it's been a few years between some of these, but I remember other incidents similar.

Don't fall for this stupid meme.

15% is standard, 20% is generous. I'm sick of entitled waiters who keep upping the percentage of the "standard" by 5 every few years. Glad I am a harsh judge and my tipping reflects this. (not always bad, have tipped 35% on big ones before)

Self centered, self important, and selfish assholes the lot of them. If I'm going to tip someone it would be the guy who works in a hot kitchen to make me the food, not the high school dropout that picked it up and carried it 10 feet to my table.
