Hey Pandas, What Is One Of Your Worst Experiences At A Restaurant?
My husband won a gift card to a new restaurant. So hubby, kids and me went. Sat down and was completely ignored by the wait staff. Sat there for 30 minutes and never saw anyone. No one took our drink order. No one brought us menus. I went to the front and asked to see the manager. I explained to him what was happening and he promised he would get our waitress right on it. I walked back to my table as another foursome was just sitting down. The waitress runs over and (to them) says 'I'm so sorry you had to wait. What can I get you to drink?' I told her we were the ones that had been waiting and she curled her lip and told me to calm down, she'd get to us. So, back to the manager. After I sat down she comes over (it has now been 45 minutes since we arrived) and took our drink order. Then, nothing for 20 minutes. When she brings over our drinks, the order was completely wrong and the ice was melted. I told her to redo them. Never saw another drink the rest of the time. After being there for and hour and a half she comes over and takes our food order...but we still didn't have any menus. She pointed to the specials board and told us to use that. So, back to the manager. Two and a half hours later we get our food...it's cold and wrong. Manager comes over and tells us he's comping our meal and giving us a gift card to boot. I explained we were here using a gift card and there was no sense in comping the meal or giving us a freebee because there were no circumstances imaginable where we would ever return. Waitress ended up with a 7 cent tip...that what was left on the card after we used it to pay for the "meal". The restaurant closed less than a year after it opened.

I was at a Woolworth's counter and ordered a hamburger for lunch. When it arrived, the server had carried the plate with two of her fingers cutting into the bun. I refused the order and the manager came over: "Well, it's still edible, ain't it?" I left, and never returned.

I was at a Chinese buffet at Christmas time with a group of friends to exchange gifts. I ask for a refill of coffee. My cup wasn't completely empty yet but needed to be warmed back up. The waitress looked in my cup and said that I had to finish what I had before I could have a refill. REALLY????? I am the one paying for my meal and refills are free. A few minutes later, a clean up guy came to vacuum the floor, not around where we were sitting, but under our table. There was literally nothing on the floor. I never did get my refill of coffee and have never been back since.

Granted this is a server perspective BUT….had a family of 5 at a booth. Very sweet, kids were behaved. They order a ton of food & beverages. Everything’s going great! We’re chatting, all that. They get their bill & i run their card. Normal stuff. They gave me a hug on their way out. Said the service & food was great & they couldn’t wait to come & ask for me again. Get to the table. They left $2 on an almost $200 bill. It was less than the tax paid on the food. After i tipped out our busser & hostess i lost money on the check. Please be not only nice to your servers but if you think they did a great job, tip them for it. Especially during these times when most of them were out of work due to closures & are now running on 1/2 staff

I was at a simple restaurant in Vilnius and the waitress was really nice to all my male friends but super rude to me (I'm a girl). She would laugh and smile with the guys, but when I spoke she immediately lost her smile and seemed very unhappy that I exist.Show All 30 Upvotes
