It doesn't make me mad, but at lunch today the waitress tried to sell my husband on a beer. When he asked what kind it was, she said she didn't know. It took her a decent amount of time to find out. Please know your menu/product you are selling.

Really just when they make it blatantly obvious that they don’t give a frick and are annoyed with being there. I really don’t have high standards and I get it, working sucks but we all have to do it so at least show some effort to present yourself in a semi respectable way.

All this right here.

What’s even worse is when it’s a younger individual (like college-aged) who has an attitude like the job is beneath them. You’re young. We all started somewhere. Deal with it.

Brings your drinks and asks, "are you ready to order?", and we say, "not yet, give us a couple minutes"...20 minutes later they finally come back to take your order.

Why are women so irrationally tough on waitresses?

Call me "baby" or "Sweetie". Take forever getting the food out. Lingering over my table every couple of minutes while I am trying to eat my food.

* tell me their name when the 'introduce' themselves to me...I don't want to know their name...their name is 'waiter'

* put their hand on my shoulder when the give the the check and say thank you as if I had just saved their child's life

bring me food, drink, bread and water, don't get in the way, I don't want to have a conversation with you...just serve me

I take customers to dinner. Sometimes we are at establishments a little more refined than they are used to, nothing crazy but they frequent Red Lobster and Chilis kinda places.

The other night I had a pair of husbands w their wives. When it came time for drink orders they ordered Diet Cokes, Dr Pepper and two Bud heavies. You could just see the waiter turn the switch.

When it came time to describe the specials he was a condescending prick. It was like he was trying to make my guests uncomfortable.

I excused myself to the restroom and asked him to bring it down a couple notches and I would tip very well. He settled down and quit looking down his nose at them

I try to pair my party with an appropriate place, this was at a Tommy’s for God’s sake

Takes too long to come by.

Brings the ticket without waiting to see if I'm immediately paying, which makes the leaving take longer.

If they have BO or sweaty

Everything is coke. Ex: "What kind of coke do you want?"

Old people have been sharing this foe as long as the internet has existed, yet somehow over the course of living my entire life in Georgia and Alabama I've never actually seen it. Nobody asks for a Coke then has to clarify what kind. You order the drink you fricking want.

Get pissy when they say they are going to "take care of me" and I unzip my pants. Bitch don't say it if you don't mean it.
