Waiter brings food to table

What is the purpose of it?

>haven’t had time to even take a bite
>waiter walks up
>how is everything?

>waiteress brings food
>drop fork
>look up her skirt and kiss her toes a little bit
Anyone else do this?

To test for corking

You're supposed to ask "is this all I get, for 30 bucks?" when the taste pour is given to you it's customary

The waiter farted in the glass beforehand and the tasting allows you to get the most authentic french experience

>waiter bring foods
>everyone starts clapping

Why?

its considered an insult to the waitress if you dont do this in my country

Unironically it's because occasionally a wine cork will have a flaw that allows the entire bottle to become spoiled or "corked." You aren't tasting for the quality of the wine, after all you ordered it by name. You are just tasting to make sure it hasn't become literally undrinkable vinegar. I cringe when people comment on how good the wine tastes (while obviously knowing nothing about wine) because the implicit question is not "do you like this" but "does this taste like what you ordered."

>Waiter drops off food
>"Here you guys go!"
>You immediately realize they forgot (or you forgot) a vital item
>Waitress has already dashed 50 feet across the dining room
>She doesn't come back again to check on things for 20+ mins

>waiter sits down and eats with you

>I've spent the first 10 minutes chatting instead of eating
>Waiter walks up
>How is everything?

Fucking dickhead, am I right?

What's wrong with this?
>go out to pub with dad and brothers
>trade food with each other
>get to see what everything tastes like so I know what I want next time

He's just autistic or something. Family interactions scare him.

>waiter brings food to table
>everyone goes "ooooh, wow"

You finally figured out that only normie retards eat in restaraunts

I get that a lot

>waiter brings food to the tablet
>people abruptly stop their conversation
>sit silently as the waiter sets down the plates making no eye contact at all
>resume right where they left off when the waiter walks away

this actually happened to me on my birthday, he found out it was my birthday and thought he'd just be one of the gang by forcing himself into the conversation and sitting with us.
It was pretty awful.

>waiter brings food to the table
>"don't touch the plates they are hot!"
>first thing I do when the waiter walks away is touch the plate

Have you never had a busboy or other waiter serve your food? Then your main waiter walks up 2 seconds later
>How is everything looking
yeah looks fuckin good, how about give us a second to take a bite

I wanted to know if he was lying

Do waiters feel bad when that happens?

>waiter gives you a hug
>can feel her small boobies on your tummy
>everyone else in the restaraunt looks upset they didn't get hugs

>order two pizzas
>there's not enough space on the table for the two pizzas
>waiter stacks them on a single plate
>mfw

>waiter asks if you want to take the rest of your meal with you
>say yes
>"too bad"
>walk home empty handed

>Everyone is eating, until Auntie gets that look when it's loud and it's time for her to ask that question
>"So user, why don't you have a gf yet?"
>Huh?
>"WHY DON'T YOU HAVE A GF YET?"

I hate restaurants.

>waitress is friendly to us
>have to remind my friend that she is in fact not hitting on him but is just being nice because it's her job

>waiter gives you his phone number

>go to Whataburger
>cashier is a nice old woman who's super bubbly in that nice Texas way
>bants with me over my order
>"bun or Texas toast"
>Texas toast pls ma'am
>"haha i'm glad you made the right choice"
>tells me about the politics of why the chip reader doesn't work at any of the Whataburgers
>ask for a water cup because i was cycling
>gives me one and leans over, says "i won't tell no one if you get soda, dear"
>get water because i don't drink cancer juice
>"if you need anything just ask, alright sweetie"
>was very excited to bring me my order
sometimes i really like living here

>Too full to finish your salad?
>Too full for dessert!

I live in fl and for the most part whataburger is like this nearly every time. Shit’s tight.

>>"So user, why don't you have a gf yet?"
>"I dunno, why don't you have another husband yet?"

there's some peoples of African decent who work at mine unfortunately so i usually have to deal with that shit but hopefully this old lady is a permanent thing

>watching some black girl bust her ass and spill the napkin/ketchup thing everywhere
she looked so angry and it was very amusing

I don't see the issue with this one.

They are checking to make sure you got the right orders, that they didn't forget anything, that you don't need any extra sauces or whatever. They don't care if you like the taste if you got what you ordered. In fact if you are going to eat the food and THEN complain about it they would rather just avoid you.

Im like this too, i have no actual idea why. Its like theres nothing to be said in that moment.

>Ordering dessert while your partner just gets coffee
> "oh and I think I'll get two spoons with that ...just in case"and wink at partner
> waiter grins, we all laugh

Two spoons ;)

I have a desperate robot friend who does this. It's genuinely sad.

At least 50% of the virgins on this board would do exactly the same thing. More than just being sad I'm starting to see it as a massive social problem, like what the fuck is wrong with people who are so sexually undesirable that they think every interaction is flirting? Why don't they learn? It's fucking embarrassing to be in a restaurant or bar with someone who is like that. I don't want to conclude "guess it just sucks to be friends with autists" but I guess you can't take them out to eat. Oh well, they'd just order chicken fingers anyway.

>charges you for two desserts
classic

I know a guy who thinks bartenders are flirting with him. They then "hang out" with him after work and he thinks they want the dick but all they want is free drinks and cocaine. He's constantly hung over and broke.

>HEY user, TRY THIS!
>scoops a big lump of their dish and places it on your plate

I do this and I don't really know why.

>be short and skinny
>have to hear this shit every time I'm out eating with family until I'm 16 years old

And God forbid I get a takeout container. I'll never hear the end of it. But of course nobody says a damn word to Uncle Joe who also failed to clean his plate and got a to-go box.

>waitress sets my plate down with their bare hands
>"careful the plate is hot!"
Yeah, if your pampered manicured hands that you pay for with your $400 a night in tips can handle it, I think I'll be ok.

Because I consider my conversation with my family private.

Even if I'm talking about nothing, even if I have 10 family members with me.

I don't want some rando fuck with no trade skills to know how my week is going.

>touch plate
>is actually scalding hot
>burn fingers
>have to play it off like nothing happened so i don't look like a doofus

oh my fucking cunt, if a waiter did that

>nobody else at the table is drinking so you have a bottle of wine by yourself and have to listen to comments about it like it's a lot.

>not bringing your own lunchtray and demanding the food be laid out on it.

>touch plate
>it’s actually scorching hot
>waiter looks at you like your just escaped from your handler
>”I warned you!”

>decide to have some wine and people get all anal about it because my dad was an alcoholic and so that means i must be as well

mine is every one of my beta friends saying "thank you" to every little thing the server does

or my dad's fave "do you take orders or do you just give them!?"

haha, your dad sounds awesome

>or my dad's fave "do you take orders or do you just give them!?"

I don't get it.

Are you a girl?

>mine is every one of my beta friends saying "thank you"
w-what are the appropriate times to thank them, user

Sounds like a class gap between you and your friend. In Society, when speaking to service people, "thank you" just indicates acknowledgement and dismissal, as in "thank you, that will be all."

No you piece of shit.

>reply; "that's what you think"
>proceed to pull a zip lock bag from my coat pocket and scrape the contents of my plate into it.

>"Careful sir, the plate is hot."

Enjoy never feeling fully comfortable in luxury environments.

>Waiter brings piping hot soup to the table
>He trips and spills it all over customers
>Everyone goes "Oooh, ow!"

>that person who always try to feed you their leftovers
>do you want to try some of mine
>no thanks
>do you want to try some of mine
>no
>a minute later
>do you want some of mine?
>I said no
>a few minutes later
>do you want to have some of mine
>MOM I SAID NO

look at this rude low-life piece of crap.

based mom.

>gf finally got mad at me because I always say “ahh, coffee instant” after taking a sip even though I don’t drink instant.

>waitress brings appetizers over
>give her a knee-trembler in the handicap stall 15 minutes later

You are already becoming a dad.

>waiter is hitting on me, putting her hands on me, squeezing my shoulders, etc.
>can't tell her I'm gay because I'm dining with my mom

kek

>always say "goin in" before taking the first bite
Thanks reviewbrah!

>at restaurant with small menu
>order regular thing on the menu, nothing special about it
>30 minutes later the people who arrived after me are eating
>getting pissed off
>waiter says she's sorry and that it'll be out soon
>another few minutes passes and she brings out my food
>it's cold like it had been sitting on the rack all this time
>notice she's been really nice to everyone but me
>rack my brain trying to figure out what i did to deserve this
>would ordinary be really pissed off but feel like crying instead
>never go back even though i really like the food and it's near my house

probably just ugly

Damnit. I mean it was probably just a fluke. I'm such a meanposter sorry.

i also feel like it was because i'm ugly

I do this while they're still right there next to the table.

I fucking did this the other day and it’s all because of this fucking meme

don't be such a faggot

...

What a comfy thread. Thanks lads

It's funny how often ugly people mistake a lack of personal grooming for losing the genetic lottery.
Not that many people completely lose the genetic lottery.
Normalfags can tell the difference between someone who's just ugly and someone who doesn't understand what being presentable in public means.
To normalfags, the latter means that you're a slob who can't take care of himself.
No one is going to take the time out of their day to tell you that you look like shit, much less how to improve yourself.

>bartenders want free drinks

i lift, am not fat, and pretty clean cut
sorry

operator as fuck

Out fucking skilled

I noticed it when I was a waiter, but I never really cared because I had too many other things to worry about. A lot of people do it, if that makes you feel better.

Very uncomfortable thread. It's too relatable.

> $400 a night in tips
Whatever you need to tell yourself to justify being too poor to tip

as a waiter I feel 0 emotions about anything while working
