re: Favorite phrases heard in restaurants.

my favorite is when a table or group try to split all you can eat. then when you tell them no or charge them for how many people eat off the plate, they tell you its a stupid rule and refuse to pay after you have warned them numerous times. i dont think its a very hard concept to grasp.

We went to a locally owned seafood restaurant and were told they were out of fries. Not a big deal to me because I didn't eat them, anyway, but we had a large group and kids were with us. That was like telling them there was no Santa. There was a big grocery store about 3 doors down which carried those mega bags of fries, as well as potatoes, which they had on hand anyway, but they refused to get any there until the truck with the fries arrived. Apparently, the truck was running hours late as this was on the other side of the lunch rush. If I'm the restaurant owner, I'm going to send someone to pick up the bags of fries until the truck arrives, if any customers are complaining about not getting them. The restaurant didn't last long. I don't know why it closed.
