I hated when people did that.

"I'm sorry Sir, but your well-done filet mignon hockey puck takes a little longer to cook than their pasta."

Restaurants all hold food until everything is ready. The expediter build the order for the server, and the server takes the plates. Rarely is food not sent out together. It's not your servers fault, it's whoever ordered the food with the long cook time.

(Actually broil or grill cooks will call out 'turn calls' and let the fry and saute cooks know the meat is half way done)

But honestly in the OP's case, I still think they should have been sat and then offered drinks rather than have to stand and look at a whole bunch of empty tables. You should be able to seat people during your operating hours.

surprising how many people did this when I worked at Copeland's ten years ago. They had a name for it, but I think even using that Country in this context could be a bannable offense.

Yeah, if your table ordered that you were SOL.

Be quiet. I'm sure she does a damn good job for her patrons at a place that seems to be damn well patronized.

I'll have you know I've been there twice only to find out 1) you watched it elsewhere and 2) you had just left.

CIT, I really don't get this. Even pricks can have guests with them you'd like to see return to your restaurant in additon to those at the surrounding tables who might be affected in the negative by something so silly. If someone working for me intentionally retaliated against a customer or client, it would be that person's last act as my employee.

I don't like pricks, but if you deal with the public and want to stay in business, you have to learn how to handle them. I actually train my employees on that aspect of my business. There are lines I draw, but when those lines get crossed by a customer, I'm brought in to deal with it.
