What's the worst experience you ever had at a restaraunt?

>go to local restaurant
>order from kids menu because not very hungry
>they won't let me

what a terrible service

working at one.
every single shift was it's own unique & special kind of hell.

then why did u go

Post stories.

>have reservations at a nice restaurant for 2 for husband and I
>just arrived and hadn't even ordered drinks yet when I saw a very good friend of ours (neighbor husband and wife) across the room
>I asked the waitress if there was a way to place us in a table for 4
>said it would be at least 15 minutes before a table of 4 opened up
>could see other open tables of 4 around us but whatever
>asked if we could slide our tables together
>sorry but that would be an inconvenience the table of 10 gentlemen between us by having to pickup and move their large table
>I couldn't believe this. None of them were still eating and on top of it all they were loud and probably drunk
>waited for waitress to leave and then walked over and asked the group if they could kindly finish up so my husband and I could sit with our friends
>Guy pauses and then said "we were about to order desert"
>I couldn't believe he did this to me. None of them had any menus out and I asked nicely.
>then I heard the waitress apologize to the group of drunks and I could see them tip her heavily afterwards. Clearly they knew each other and we're conspiring against me
>Guys smirks at me on the way out and the waitress took way too long with the food

I will never go back there. Such a rude staff and customers.

Is this b8

I remember that story from the other side. Oh you.

No dude totally OC. Worst experience of my life. Only tipped her 15%

When i were a child, i have once been at a so called running Sushi Restaurant(Google it)
I ate Way to much and just vomited All over The table, then i ran to The Toilette and vomited over The Floor

one time I had dinner by myself and was waiting for the check, it never came so I asked a passing waiter for it.
>ok sure
>wait a few minutes
>wait a few more minutes
I ask the same guy where my check is, my waitress is gone
>oh! Sorry, i forgot, Ill go get it.
>wait for probably 10 minutes
>get up and tell another guy I need my check
>angry at this point so I dont wait
>walk up to the front and say ive been waiting on and asking for my check for a stupid amount of time.
it was no shit over 30-40 minutes of me just waiting to pay.
>o-ok sorry lemme just find your server
>no, ring me up here right now, ill pay here or im just walking out.
>...what?
I then just told her what I ate and had her print a new take-out ticket and paid for it there, I paid with a card and I dont even remember signing the reciept cause i was so mad. I should have just left without saying anything.

Popped by a small Indian place for a simple chicken vindaloo - had 24 hours of wet vomit and projectile shitting.
Never had vindaloo again.

why not just ask for a smaller serving of food then?

why would you ask for something that's not on the menu?

Why don't you stop being a faggot?

Go to a sit down diner. Table up a few rows has 4 teens 2 cheerleaders and 2 guys. Girls get up to go to salad bar. Guys proceed to put several drops of liquid into each girls glass.

Giant alpha of a man see's this and grabs a server and ask for manager. Walks up to table and tells the teens to throw the drinks out or get their asses beat.

People in diner start freaking out because they did not see what the teens did. People getting angry at alpha man. Man threatens to call police and the teens all gtfo.

Was pretty surreal.

what a bro

I get shit service everytime i go to an "upscale" restaurant because I'm a dumb college kid and the figure I'm poor

>worst experience of my life
>only 15%
Why the fuck would you even tip them then?

kek

wear nice clothes you retard

youre a real sharp one.

hes referencing a story someone wrote in another thread from the shitty people's perspective

I winked at a waitress once.

How'd that turn out?

I was 10.
She raped me.

Hope you tipped well.

A couple of years ago when my friend told me about Veeky Forums and I came across this cooking section I saw everyone talking about the perfect steak. So I went to the local steakhouse and ordered a steak medium-rare, when my normal request would have been medium. The steak came and it was pink in the middle and bloody. I took a bite, it was really chewy and didn't taste good. Only took the one bite, went home and was sick for two days. Haven't ate steak since.

She took the whole goddamn thing.

Restaurant was empty, was sat on this comfy spot in the smoking area. Waited 20min. Bf went up to counter and asked if someone was ready to take our order. Waited 15 min. Left.

I'd been there before and the place had decent tapas and wine. This time around I think they were being uptight because we were both in jeans and tshirts. Decided to never go back.

>smoking area
where do you live? just curious

the chef ones shit on my plate his pubes in fucking vietnam worst and on tv suit ever my whole fucking life

wait, this sounds familiar. was this at perkins?

>go to Chinese buffet
>Pay for myself and girl I was into
>Help myself to orange chicken since the group autist was raving about it.
>Take a bite and feel cold in the center
>Rawer than Richard Pryor stand-up
>Let employee know who then calls manager
>Manager goes on to call me a liar as he take the chicken from my plate and eats it
>No refund or apology
>Call them out online and single handedly close them down.

Has to be bait

>get a single table
>waiting for father and sister to show up
>ask waitress if its ok to grab another table since no 4 people table left
>cunt says no
>see random family enter and the manager tells them to grab a second table
>grab a fucking secon table
>stick my 20% tip in pool of spilled jam, sugar and coffee

>stick my 20% tip in pool of spilled jam, sugar and coffee
Do you realize that's a very childish response?

They started it.

This is the point where I reiterate my last statement.

>fucking mcdonalds
>big fucking line of people waiting for food
>tons of morons operating the registers even tho like 2 people are ordering left
>two mega bitches that are suppossed to be giving the food are taking and laughing
>mountain of old burgers pile up
>get my burger that i shit you not i have been looking at for 15 minutes
>tell bitch i saw the burger stay there for twenty minutes
>like i cant make you another one... if it isnt cold
>open big mac
>stick finger in big mac
>its cold
>all while staring at her in the eyes
>she loudly throws the burger to the garbage
>kitchen bro brings me my fresh big mac
best art is i know she had to pay for it

user, was this steak in fact a dead pigeon?

everyone fucking hates people like you

Not him, but sometimes it is extremely cathartic to respond in such a way.

The 1990s it seems.

The woman in the kebab shop called me a poofter because I only wanted the normal chilli sauce on my kebab and not the mega hot one.

Oh real hard cunt aren't ya mate.

One night my partner no called no showed on the double I was working
The restaurant was slammed from 4 Till 12 no breaks no none could even leave the line
After when it was time to break my station down (I was scheduled on Fry) I decided to filter the fryers first
I had 6 fryers to filter but there was so much stuff at the bottom of the fryers that I had to use a spatula to scrape all the crumbs and batter out before I could even filter them
There was at least 4 inches of stuff at the bottom of each one
After that I start filtering them
I get about half way through the fryers when on the third one the latch for the hose pops out and all the oil from the fryer starts pouring out
I try to put the hose on but the oil is burning my hands
I grab a towel and say fuck it and try to put the hose back in but the lock to keep it in place won't move and I just burn my hand more
The chef is no where to be found the manager's left all ready and the rest of the people on the line just watch as the oil is still spilling out of the fryer or just continue cleaning because it's not affecting them
I try to use a bucket but it fills up in seconds and it got to hot to pick it up and is just over flowing with oil
Every one finishes there stuff and leaves except one guy who tries to help stop the oil but we bolth just end up sitting watching the last of the oil come out
I'm covered in oil looking like I just Jumped in the harbor
My km comes in looks at the floor doesn't say anything and walks out back to where ever he came from
(I think he was at the bar 2 buildings down) the guy trying to help me leaves and I have to clean up the oil filter the last 2 fryers fil the empty one up
Stock for the am crew
Flip the sauces
Clean all my tables fryers and walls
Clean the filter
Oh and the last person who leaves has to sweep and mop the kitchen
(Bosses incentive to clean fast)
I got out of there soaking wet in oil at 3:30
Got home at 4
Never went to that place agein

I heard afterwards that he took only local apprentices from our trace school, and all his wait staff were green

I came back a few weeks later for a more low key dinner to see how it was going, I was the only person who came back
place was empty

every now and then im like "school is too hard, maybe i'll just keep being a cook and then hopefully a chef at a srs restaurant"

and then i see posts like these

You're exactly 100 posts after the guy you replied to.

this desu

>I came back a few weeks later for a more low key dinner to see how it was going, I was the only person who came back

I cried

This deserves many many upvotes

Dude, what this Aurora Fusion Cuisine in Nashville, Tn about 3 years ago?

I'm drunk, meant to say:

>take my visiting family to the most popular sushi place in town

>ask the friendly waitress for any recommendations
>"You should try the "Blue Shrimp" it's delicious! We just got it in so it's not even on the menu yet."
>ok sure
>Get "Blue Shrimp" plus some other random ones off menu that sound good.
>Food arrives

>ok..
>me and my adventurous mom each try one
>tastes like dirty sea-water
>texture is like a chewy booger
>spit most of it back out
>check comes
>"Blue Shrimp" cost us 60 fucking dollars

And that was how I learned the important lesson to never ever ever EVER ask a fucking server for recommendations, and to ignore any bullshit they ever even try to recommend.

Did you actually ask what the Blue Shrimp was?

probably being sat next to a table filled with nigger women

>work in a restaurant for years
>not a weak-willed piece of shit, so it's rewarding and not "oh so hard ;_;"
feels good

hate to preach to the choir here, but every time i sat near a table of blacks it was tons of curse words, loud ass talking, banging on tables, and threats of violence against the server.

i seriously, seriously, hate black people.

when I was a waiter, we saw people like you come in and wrote "SOA" on your docket

it stood for "sour on arrival", and meant that the diners arrived unhappy, and nothing we did from that point was going to be good enough for them

Oh God. Undercooked chicken is no joke, that shit can make you really sick.
Goddamn.

ah so you were a lazy, entitled waiter

cool story

>Take my mom to Chili's for her birthday

>Don't want to say anything because I don't want her to know she can't enjoy her meal because I'm an abomination

what?

there seems to be a key piece of information missing from this story

are you a trany or something?

I got the feeling they were close to closing

Tell me some more the mystery is killing me.

was it closing time?

Chili's closing before the sun goes down on a Saturday?
Normal red-blooded American

Was it dead? The restaurant I worked at might close early as shit if it was bad, granted it wasn't a franchise but still

post face

Is that you demo?

Every table was occupied, literally had people standing at the bar
I don't know man, I'm not a high society supermodel like most socialites on Veeky Forums
Never heard of him

u sound soa my dude

are you fat?

I work in hospitality, and it's my belief that there are very few situations that a restaurant should do this
it's truly awful behavior, I have strong opinions about this

1. if they are open at set times, they have no excuse for pushing people out
it might not be worth them staying open, but it's what they advertised so it's what they should do

2. if diners arrive late, they should be told.
letting a diner order then pushing them along is unacceptable

3. if diners arn't ordering, and are overstaying, it's OK to ask them to leave
but it's far better to give early notice to diners who seem to be lingering, than to wait till 10 minutes before close and pressuring folks who simply might have lost track of time

4. no staring out of the pass window/from in the kitchen, no exceptions
we dont let diners gawk at the chefs, the chefs shouldn't gawk at the patrons

sounds like they lacked discipline

5'10" 180

See

I think maybe the dude was just being polite and you are a paranoid schizophrenic.

At first I want to say you're schizo but I think you're just low confidence and you can't stop interpreting your negative expectations from unrelated events. Like feeling guilt for who you are and fearing that others will discover.

Oh I know did they think you were taking your mom out on a date and they were absolutely disgusted? I mean if she was that excited I suppose it could have looked romantic.

My sister was there, because it was my mom's birthday

Pretty sure that gave away that it was a family event

Roaches everywhere breeding and running around every corner and even on the cooking stations along with broken ventilation systems, broken ACs dropping water on the food, maggots under the ice machine, chefs sneezing on the food, plowing on the plate to get the bits and crumbs off, no tissues and chefs not washing their hands after going to the toilet along with dropping the food on the sewer water infested ground after cooking it on rusty and stained pans/trays only to pick it up and plate it in a fancy over priced place.

oh wait i'm not supposed to say that because i'm a chef there, woops.

there's no reason to be smug about working at a restaurant niggy

>be restaurant
>cook shit food
yes it's da cusDUMBers fault!!!

Dude, shrimps are blue when not cooked, just like how chicken is pink.
They become orange/pink after cooking.

lol at eating raw sea food for the price of a steak.
