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.

Well, it seems that I may have mis-spoke a bit. Five minutes of googling for such a lawsuit didn't turn up a result, but I did find more than one reference to the venue in question not allowing outside food to insure that the food handling policies of [region] board of health were followed. So in a roundabout way, that implies that the venue/restaurant is at least somewhat liable for all the food consumed therein, if they're concerned about it.

	I've seen notices on, like, the Borders cafe window about the Board of Health regs banning outside food and drink. So maybe it's a licensing thing more than a lawsuit thing? (Reply to this)(Parent)
