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.

I have a friend who was a waiter for many years and he told me that waiters hate people who order hot tea. I saw it mentioned on this blog. Sorry, I don't drink coffee and I only order hot tea if it's on the menu. Note: On the menu. If you don't want to serve hot tea, take it off the menu or STFU.

Sorry. I'll just clean that up.

The nerve of you, ordering something from the menu!

You're supposed to order stuff that's not on the menu. Waitstaff will love you then.

Both on and off-topic, my mom had the worst time with tea when she started living in the self. She ordered "tea" and got iced tea. Took her a while to order "hot tea" when she wanted regular tea.

You should have seen the disgusted reaction of a waitress at a B&B in ENGLAND when my friend asked for tea with her breakfast. (There was no menu, just Cereal or Full English Breakfast and what would you like to drink?)

Come on though, England is known for its tea drinking. Not being prepared to serve it at a B&B for breakfast; kinda stupid!
