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.

...So how would they find out if someone told the waiter they were allergic to something when they weren't? Did the customer brag about it to the other people at the table? Did the waiter purposely have it included in the food to see if they were lying?

Huh, I don't see the original list thing about take-out.

25) You claim you’re “a friend of the owner.” So what? 5000 people are operating under a similar delusion.

Hahaha. When I was volunteering at the botanical gardens, I was at the register taking entry fees and this one guy came up and started asking (I thought) "Where's my [indecipherable]? I need to see my [indecipherable]!" and I wasn't really sure what to say because as far as I knew we didn't even have a lost and found. And then it clicked that he was asking about a person whose name started with the sound "my" so I went, Oh, a person? and he said Yeah, My___, big muckety-muck at the gardens (I swear he actually said muckety-muck) so I just pointed him to the table you go if you're meeting people. I don't know if My___ was a donor or if they worked at the gardens or what.

So: Don't assume the person you're trying to impress has any idea who Big Important Person Who You Totally Know is! Especially if they're a teenage volunteer with a nametag and not a regular employee with a uniform.
