Why are restaurants like this?

They aren't. That's never happened to me and I doubt it has to you and if it did, probably not more than once or twice. It's good you took the time to cry about it here though after we had a hundred post thread about the exact same thing yesterday. In fact I'm sure you can still find the thread and shit your diaper there

30% tip MINIMUM

>spends all his time on Veeky Forums
sorry tubby, didnt see that thread i was working.

basically what this nigga said

Too busy to check the catalog, not too busy to make up a dumb story

If you're serving up pretentiously named slop like that for undiscerning plebs, what's more profitable:

1. Hire good staff, train them to a michelin 3 star standard, pay them in accorance with their skill set and training, and count on your patrician customers to order fine wines at 400% markup and the $350 tasting menu, or

2. Hire morons, force them to memorize a script on penalty of writeups and/or getting fired, and count on the script to upsell customers on your shitty $11 house cocktails

If you want your waiter and your somm and your bus boy to have both great social skills and an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu options, you can go to an upscale Danny Meyer joint or some place like that. They're expensive, but the staff is autistically trained to make you feel comfortable

Because if their bosses see them not going through the whole schtick they'll fire them. Please don't blame them, they're fighting for their livelihood. The leaving for long periods of time is unacceptable, though, fuck that.

Every restaurant I've ever been to the server always asks for drinks first.

American servers are the most irritating

>leaving for long periods of time
It's so they can do the same dog and pony show for another 2 or 3 tables.

cash me outside

im not blaming the server aside from the wait times, but the fucking managers and corporate/owners who think that people want to always sit through this spiel of bullshit. i wanted a decent lunch, not to drop $130 on lunch while getting shitfaced

It's almost time for me to move. I never tip, and I don't want to get my food fucked with so I don't go to the same place twice, and I've been to almost all 409 restaurants in this city.

lmao

>Why are restaurants like this?

I'd say a better question is why you didn't:

>>Today's special is...
STOP.
I just want a water.

Why are people such betas they let other people get away with talking over them.

Who is this semen demon?

a 14 year old girl

Why is a 14 year old girl dressed like an adult prostitute?

Or the sous chef needed some relief since his wife was on the rag for the week.

I hate to burst your solipsistic bubble, but no one remembers you.

Just don't eat out. The food at restaurants is horrible for you, very expensive for the quality and portions sizes cause people to always feel compelled to overeat.

Have you seen kitchen nightmares? Those places are not uncommon at all.

>muh noble struggling waiter
Get over yourself, they're poor shitbags who couldn't be bothered learning a real profession looking for an easy buck

That's a dude.

because no everyone is a sperg in real life and would rather act polite and respectful irl and then just vent online on a mongolian mammoth meat cooking board with other online mongoliaboos instead of flipping out/being rude in real life and getting escorted out by someone for being rude or causing a scene.

>you can scam fuckers all you want as long as you do it in public

You know the only people who work as waiters/waitresses are poor college students, right? Nobody who CAN get a real job would willingly work such a shitty profession.

I would fuck that dude.

FPBP

if that's your idea of a scam, you are cucked but society everyday i bet
