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.

Music

If the customer was polite about it, I don't see why it's a big deal to ask about the music. Sure, customers don't expect servers to be music experts, but in a restaurant, I'll expect servers are the ones they come into contact with most often. Would servers prefer customers to ask for the manager instead?

And see, in some places, it's actually chosen by the staff on rotation. Some places it's official music chosen by the company (Quizno's does that). So how are customers expected to know the difference?

You realize there's only one answer to all of this:

Humans are supposed to be psychic. Why, back in the day, everyone was; there was none of this "OMG, I don't know what the music is, why are you asking me?" nonsense, because everyone could read each other's minds, and all was right with the world, and everything was sunshine and puppies.

Totally true, dude.
