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.

	Wait... people are bitching about the RHS? Do they have the first clue how much money we spend on restaurants?? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That's what I thought...the meeting I went to (observe), the local nursing home literally bussed them in to the restaurant. That's, what, 15-20 guaranteed lunch checks on top of the chapter members who got there under their own power? Nothing to sneeze at! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unless(in the waiter's experience) they have a tendency to be overly demanding and leave lousy tips. (Reply to this)(Parent)

I think there are any number of groups (you know, like teenagers, etc - any group could be this way, really) that are total harpies and downright nasty to the waitstaff. So when these groups come back, waiters run in fear.

But for every post on Customers_suck about the RHS and how they treat the wait staff, a different waiter will pop up and say "well, my group is sooooo nice."
