Food things that trigger you

>dinner and a free show
What are you, some kind of pleb?

Any side besides fries or garden salad costs 3 dollars extra
Not allowed to get certain sides with certain dishes for some reason

Cheap, shitty molson Canadian or Budweiser costs 7.50 for a pint

Basebore is on the TV instead of hockey

Wine snobs that do that ridiculous slurp gargle bullshit to loudly announce that THEY KNOW HOW TO DRINK WINE

fuck off

Also people who slam their pint glass on the bar every time they take a sip. I hate you too

>gimmicky junk on the walls/all over the place

Chicken shoehorned into dishes where it doesn't belong. You know, roast chicken is delicious. Fried chicken is delicious. Same goes for chicken soup/stew. But when it's used as a bland default protein in pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches, burritos and even fucking sausages it's fucking bullshit. Same goes for turkey.

Also cheap cheese heaped all over everything. I'd rather have no cheese in most cases, or at least I'd be happy to pay a little more for a smaller amount of good quality cheese.

Mayo spread so thick on subs/sandwiches that it drips out while you're eating. Fucking disgusting.

Reastaurants that have chairs with no backs at tables. Tall chairs at bar tables. Fuck I just want to relax while I eat and keep both feet on the floor..

>only serves bottled beer
>only serves macrobrews and micros that are owned by macros

>take out area at the back of the restaurant

>But when it's used as a bland default protein

that's literally the definition of chicken

>restaurant puts tip line on receipt for take out orders

I draw a line through it just so they know I saw it and said fuck you

ghetto trash.

I got a takeout from BWW a few months ago... my first take-out in over 2 years. I was caught off guard by the tip line and gave a dollar. Still kicking myself over doing this months later.

>no complimentary crab legs

this is what happens when you live in a 50% black town

??? It's just the default thing computers print at restaurants, it'd be a pain in the ass to have an entirely different receipt just for takeout. Now when it's a place that ONLY has counter service/ take out and they put a tip line then fuck them

>water chestnuts

>being this petty

Fuck who? It's not the fault of the teenager who cobbled together your order that a tip line exists on your receipt. Whoever had the idea to put it there will never even see your receipt.

no goddamn way that could have happenned. What purpose would it serve ?

>Fuck who?
The owner/manager of the store.

> It's not the fault of the teenager
Clearly

>Whoever had the idea to put it there will never even see your receipt
Have you never worked retail before? Double-checking receipts is part of the daily "closing" process that goes along with sending the credit card batch out for processing, counting the cash in the register, and so on. Whomever is assigned that job most certainly will go through all the receipts; in all the places I have worked that's usually the owner or manager.

>What purpose would it serve ?

A prank left behind by some customer that went unnoticed by the staff.

That's what it's become. And that's what ticks me off - the use of chicken in lackluster dishes that do nothing to show it off. When chicken can be so delicious roasted or fried I don't get why the fuck flavorless chicken ends up in burritos or salads or in fucking wrap sandwiches.

I think it's only popular because people have no idea what they ought to eat, so they just order chicken whatever.

Chicken is inoffensive and appeals to the pickiest of eaters.

Agreed, but that's no excuse for the godawful chicken dishes on chain restaurant menus and thrown together in American home kitchens every fucking night.

Having non spoon shaped spoons .

>feet swing on a 3ft stool
lol

>soda priced more than a dollar
>gives you the can

I just pour it out onto the table myself.

Ah, the Joe Rogan special.

I fucking hate this so much
Don't advertise your shitty "antique wooden bar" as a craft bar if all you serve is 80+ IBU beers.

As a whole food vegan, pretty much everything. But I just shrug it off.

>may contain
>explicitly does contain as a deliberately added ingredient

>authentic mexican food
>it's texmex

texmex is way better than actual mex

>extra spicy
>they just put on Tabasco/franks red hot

>what is on special
>our specials run all day

THAT MEANS THAT THERE AREN'T ANY

On occasion, not currently, however

>order something extra spicy
>they just double up the sauce
>sauce isn't even spicy

Fuuuuuck.

This gets to me so bad and I don't know why. Even just looking at someone doijng it sends chills up me

>"Please bus your own tables"

>one side of booth is incredibly cramped
>other side is obnoxiously spacious
>table is bolted to the floor so you cant move it

>restaurant says they aren't full
>only outdoor seating is left
>the staff forgets to check on you because outdoors

Your gripe about beer is fucking spot on. Why does everything have to be a shitty interpretation of an IPA? And, that's all I can ever find out and about at nicer bars. This is why dive bars are better

There's a shit sushi chain restaurant where I live that has all day happy hour. They have had all day happy hour since the day they've open

Uncharismatic bartenders.

>the restaurant has glass ketchup bottles

we get it, you're old fashioned. But this shit is annoying.

What is this, 2014? IPAs are passe, it's all about sours and belgian style now

I once ate at an On the Border with my girlfriend and they sat us outside
We waited (mostly out of curiosity) for about an hour until the waitress remembered to take our order, so we just got up and walked out in front of her
The manager ended up stopping us and tried to comp our order but I declined out of fear for what they'd do to the food

>Delicious sounding item
>Has a thing I really one thing out of like, 12 on it I don't like
>Can I get this but with no x on it please?
>Uh...sorry thats just how they make it

Always either means the chef is a snobby piece of shit, or its being microwaved from a package in the back.

Sometimes the item is cooked into the pre made sauce

Like ordering broccoli cheddar soup without broccoli

>mom and pop mexican place
>a giant dollop of sour cream on every single component of every single dish

>ANY CASH ONLY RESTAURANT (obvious tax evasion, period)
>BITCHY HOSTESSES
>FAILURE TO HONOR RESERVATIONS
>waitstaff who pour the dregs of wine into your glass
>waitstaff who pour your beer improperly
>overly informal waitstaff, people who act aloof or even sit at your table/booth as you order
>restaurant owners who post their political opinions in the window (I'm looking at you, Manhattan)
>American waitstaff who say "cheers"
>dishes listed on menu as "___, ___, ___" in all lower case (for example, "scallop, watercress, tomato")
>when waitstaff breaks your cash in such a way that you're forced to tip them big

I can name some more

>order the screaming tower of pain hellfire inferno burger
>it's just a normal burger but with banana peppers rings and franks red hot
>halfway through your meal the waitress comes by to check in
>"haha so how's the burger? HOT enough for ya? :-)"

The restaurant I work at does this and it pisses me off. But it also pisses me off when an entree lists all the ingredients but people still ask what's in it even though they have the menu right in front of them.

>food served on a fucking pan

Jesus Fuck
That fat arm in the left of the pic

Why do negresses always get caught on photo making a clapping motion like good old Rose Lazy Eye there? Genu-ine question here

>restaurant doesn't take reservations

Really? Most of my favorite places are cash only and don't take reservations.

This meme was interesting 5 years ago, now it's just lame

Clapping to the music is a big thing in black churches.

They should totally take the time to make and use different receipt presets for different orders. That's totally worth the money you're not paying them.

The metal tray only makes sense for bbq places.
Where else have you seen them?

RUSTIC

C

Places

I've seen them at a place selling fancy hamburgers, and another that was a "brew pub".

I don't think they make any logical sense at all. The aluminum trays conduct heat really well so they basically act as as giant heat sink cooling off your food. I can see how someone might pick them because their appearance matches the style of the restaurant, but practically speaking they suck.

To be fair places in Texas have done this since forever. The trays, pickles, white bread, meat on paper etc. Is exclusive to Texas style BBQ joints

that's where you get your drugs from mang

Charging for water

Maybe being an an American spoiled me, but that was my only gripe about eating abroad.

I've lived in Texas for 33 years. I've never once been served BBQ on a tray like this.

Butcher paper only? Yes. Those cheap red plastic baskets with a piece of wax paper stuck inside? Yes. Paper plates? Melamine plates/bowls? Yes and Yes. But a metal rectangular tray? Never.

>Charging for water
Get the fuck out of dodge. How do Yuropoors justify charging for that.

The same way that Americans buy pic related.

Buying bottled water I at least understand, but here we at least offer water for free with meals, like if you go to any retaurant and ask for a cup of water they'll give you one

>Buying bottled water I at least understand

You think it makes sense pay several thousand times what water actually costs? That seems silly to me. What makes a lot more sense is to fill up an existing container with water and then take it with you.

You needed to specify tap water.

Water's water. Just buy the cheapest bottled stuff you can if you can't trust the tap water where you are.

>You think it makes sense pay several thousand times what water actually costs?
For a clean, sealed bottle of clean water? Yes. Especially if it's refrigerated and available when you need it instead of having to be lugged all the way there.

> Plates without a raised edge
Such as slates, planks, ceramic tiles whatever. The plate is designed with a raised edge for a reason.

> Burgers too big to bite
Do you not understand how they work?
> Burgers so full of sauce it squirts out or dribbles off over your fingers
Great, now I have to wash my hands before I leave.

> Fuckhuge portion sizes
I don't like wasting food. Especially if I've paid for it.
A couple of times I even came back from a 'let's go get pizza with a huge group' with a box full of loose slices.
Boxed them up separated by greaseproof paper, froze them, and microwaved them in ones and twos as lunch for a week.

> Overly chatty staff
Please just let me eat. Especially if I'm on my own; I came for the food, not the conversation.

> Buffet breakfast
Cheaper shit than I get from the canteen at work, at a high price. Unlimited amount of food? Great, if you can keep it down...

>making a fish dish
>nice white wine reduction sauce
>gf comes into the kitchen
>"mmmm smells good but you should put some cheese in there"
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>almost empty restaurant
>hostess seats you right next to the other two tables
I used to be a beta but now I speak up and ask to sit someplace else. Since I live in Miami, I usually get a rude look for asking.

Kill yourself

>stay the night at gf's house
>making scrambled eggs in the morning
>she just walks over and dumps chopped garlic in the eggs
>tastes like shit and rancid shit farts for a week

>>"WE PROUDLY SERVE 87 MICROBREWS AND 0 MACRO"
ipa's, 2 pale ales, 1 hefe, and blue moon
man does this rustle my jimmies.

this tastes better than plastic squeezy bottles.

its also incredibly cheap

its so funny how blacks always do the "hold me back" gesture at the end of a confrontation as an ego self preserving mechanism

>bolted
anchored, you fucking non working white collar sack of shit
