re: Favorite phrases heard in restaurants.

Had a guy in my restaurant the other day that set off the emergency exit door alarm. Apparently no one in Houmna can ead the big sign on the door that says emergency exit. Anyways, when I walk up to turn the alarm off the guy tells me "that door shouldn't be able to be opened like that." I just told the guy it says emergency exit on the sign. What did you think the door was going to do?

If I order water at a meal it may be because I dont want to drink high fructose corn syrup and I dont need to have an alcoholic beverage.

Agreed. Boyfriend orders water no matter where we are. He doesn't like soft drinks. He's not poor and he's an exceptional tipper. It's just preference.

Seriously I have been in some very expensive restaurants where I just didnt want wine and I dont like to drink softdrinks. The server looked made at my choice of water.. Until magically I order a 55 dollar entree then all of a sudden they want to do their job. Its very tiring.

Annoying as hell, I agree.

nless a server is rude I give them the benefit of doubt.

Same. In fact, the only awful tip I've ever given was the a-hole I made a thread about a couple days ago.

had servers in my family's restaurant in Slidell complain about elderly people splitting. They couldn't get over their tip for 5 minutes.

Shittty of the waitstaff to get rude about. I split entrees often, and when my bill is small, I tip 30%-40%.

Burger King once told me - "we don't got no mo meat". This was at 11:30 a.m. on a weekday at a busy location. No meat. OK.

Wonder if she knew she ordered it black and blue.. Which is the same thing.

a ticket came in the back for a steak cooked "pittsburgh" style. so we made it pittsburgh: charred on the outside with a mini blow torch and left rare on the inside. everyone who orders it this way knows this.

of course this woman sends it back as soon as she cuts it open saying its not cooked enough and she wanted it medium.

---

first time i had someone order a steak this way, i talked to the person working the broiler & he said no problem. i got the same complaint.

for the sake of clarification, i always clarified what i understood thate definition to mean. not every person knows what the want unfortunately b/c many were like "oh no, i dont eat rare steak. i want it cooked a little longer." always asked temp? med or med rare? they always said med & sometimes wanted it cooked more when they cut into the steak.

the only person who was ever pissed off was the first person who ordered it

grilled chicken breast cooked medium rare

i started training to be on the waitstaff of Vic's Chophouse and the guy training me asked a table how they wanted their chicken cooked. that blew me away. but apparently "the chicken we serve here is of the highest quality therefore we can cook it however you like"

still wtf?

Yeah, eating fully cooked chicken is for pansies.

Im sure that chicken was also raised like Kobe.

Now many places overcook chicken but most people would not want to eat med-rare chicken.

Would be cool if they let you eat it right after they cut its head off.. Now that sounds like some shite they would do in Japan.. You ask for it with a kick.
