Nice try dumbass I go to places like Cure all the time. Craft cocktail is a redundant expression. A cocktail by itself should imply being crafted with care and skill. The fact that we even need that stupid arse expression is a travesty.

Just all food in general. Why do we even eat it? Why do people try so hard to sell it? Better yet, frick capitalism! I believe we should be rationed food that comes in a pill form and sustains us for the entire day. Life would be so much more exciting that way

Structuring the menu with more sections of 'small plates' so that everybody orders more dishes
I love it. I am so sick of bringing home boxes or wasting a ton of food because I am not going home and can't take a box.
Being able to still have a variety and not have a mountain of leftovers is a win to me.

I don't give a frick what your favorite dishes are, I don't know you, don't know what you like
On the flip side, customers used to ask all the time what our favorite items were.. and my friend.. LOL. Her favorite item was the kid's grilled cheese. She was picky and preferred kids menu items, so when people would ask, that's what she'd say. I never knew whether to be annoyed that she was giving such a dumb answer or laugh as if was mocking them for asking her what to order.

The 'fireball' fad that tore through the service industry a few years back (and still strong in some places.)
It's a friggin schnapps, for God's sake. And there have been peppermint/cinnamon schnapps with heat before. People acted like it was some kind of fantastic creation.
Stop hanging around Florida Georgia Line fanboys.

He's right. It was the service industry shot for a while.

This gluten free fad. 
I have two good friends with celiac disease who really need to watch what they eat, so I fully understand that it's a medical condition that truly exists, but there seems to be this gluten free bandwagon that everyone is jumping on. My money says that most people who claim to have celiac disease absolutely do not.
I understand why a company would put the words gluten free on their boxed product, especially if it's a box where someone with the condition needs to pay attention to it and may not purchase it if there is any question, but for instance, I was at Albertson's the other day and they had gluten free signs all over the store, including many things that are obvious that do not contain gluten. I think everyone knows that meat and vegetables don't contain gluten.
There's almost this image now in American culture where if something contains gluten, it's not good for you. I went out to eat with a few co workers the other day. The one person who is gluten free requested gluten free, and then two others followed suit, not because they didn't want to eat something in front of the gluten free person who couldn't partake, but rather because they thought it's something that's healthier. I was just shaking my head.
It's sort of akin to the "fat free" fad in the late 90's. Every commercial touted their products as fat free. Now it's gluten free.

Service industry people who think they have a noble profession really bother me. So many of my service industry friends act like I don't have a real job because I am In a office. I blame Anthony bourdain.

Agree. To even go further, I think when someone asks, you should name not just dishes you personally like.. but weigh in dishes that are most popular and best received.
In the case of my friend saying kids' grilled cheese, that may have been HER favorite item, but knowing that she can be picky, it would make more sense to name the items that the general customer base thinks are best. The grown man asking for suggestions isn't order the kiddie cheese sandwich

Thank you.
I know what I'm talking about. Before that, it was the Jaeger Bomb.
Lately, it seems to be a lot of Vegas Bombs.

Latest food/drink things that annoy you
I'm going to go with:
"it literally tastes like shite"
"that place is absolutely disgusting"
"I spent the next 2 hours in the bathroom after eating that"
and the like.
A close second would be people being annoyed about food/drink things. It literally makes me sick.
