So. Waiter Rant. Kind of like customers_suck, except it's only one person posting ("Waiter"), and it's usually wank-free. Usually.

The waiter that writes the blog recently started working in a new restaurant, and has become . . . slightly bitter. As a result, he posted first "50 Signs You're Working in a Bad Restaurant," then "50 Signs You're an Asshole Customer." The first doesn't garner much attention, but the second . . .

Four hundred comments later, people are still wanking over:

-Whether it's acceptable to bring your own tea (look for Desert Princess, misspelled as Dessert Princess).
-Whether it's acceptable to leave a tip on a credit card that ends in a weird amount ($2.51 on a tab for $10.49).
-If you should tip on takeout.
-If asking about the music is okay.
-Why saying that you're allergic to an ingredient in order to get it taken out of your food is evil.
-How bitter "Waiter" has become.
-What is a 'normal' tip—fifteen or twenty percent.

Namecalling and accusations of elitism abound, and perhaps 1/4 of replies become non-wanky.

	Whenever there is tipping wank, I always think that more people should do what Dick Solomon did in Third Rock From The Sun: Put a stack of dollar bills on the table and add/remove as your waiter/server is good or crap. (Reply to this)

I hate these wanks. They always leave me convinced that no matter how hard I try to be polite and generally decent, and no matter how much I tip, the waiter or waitress will passionately hate me because of some bizarre arbitrary little thing they've decided is more offensive than anything else in the world. They also make me pray I never develop any food allergies/intolerances/etc. or otherwise need to seriously restrict my diet for health reasons, because then I will never be able to eat anywhere outside my house again. Nearly everyone seems to think there's nothing more rude and nasty than asking if something or other can be left out of a dish. Or even asking if something is in a particular dish so you can avoid it. (Reply to this)
