It was not a particularly busy night, at all. We just ordered burgers. I forget what toppings we got, but specifically wanted onions, as we both liked onions. And we like them raw. Well they came out grilled. We didn't know they automatically grilled them, so we asked the waiter for some raw onions. He came out with like 3 little rings on a thin little napkin in his hand. wtf We asked him for some more, and instead of bringing us more, he brought us the manager. He manager asked if everything was ok, and we were like, uh, yeah, just waiting for some more onions. We were still confused at this point as to why the manager was called. I guess the waiter thought we were being difficult customers? We just wanted some more onions! On a plate would be nice too, please?
Since it's been 10+yrs I can't recall the entire night, but both of us were pretty taken aback about how rude the waiter had been to us, so we left him a terrible tip. I think we left him like $2bucks. To let him "know" we were not pleased with his service. On our way out, he runs after us and says "oh you forgot your change" all passive aggressive like. Again, my jaw dropped. The nerve, like he was saying how dare we don't give him a good tip. My friend just said, oh no that's yours dude. We have never been back to that location since.
What do you guys think? I have never had such terrible service on a slow night, and he confronted us about the bad tip! |
We had that happen to us too. Boyfriend and I went out to eat at a place called swingers in Santa Monica. It was very slow, the waiter was rude, and it took forever for him to stop chatting it up with some girl to come take our order, bring us our drinks, or the food. I guess he was hoping to get lucky that night and work just wasnt a priority.
anyway, boyfriend was peeved. He left all of the change he got, and added in all he loose change he found in his pocket. It was nothing but pennies. As we were leaving, the guy rushes out to their patio to talk to us. He asked us about the food, and if we were satisfied with the service. I think boyfriend told him we didn't appreciate the kind of service we received and to top I off the food was bad. I'm never going to forget this... The waiter said, "next time you two are hungry, there's a Denny's across the street. You can take your cheap a$$es there."
That was the first and the last time we ever stepped foot in that place.
