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.

Pfft, if they want better atmosphere, they can bring me a coffee cup for my coffee.

There are also levels of fancy, because there are fancy restaurants with atmosphere, and then there are fancy restaurants with atmosphere that won't let you in unless you're wearing a sport jacket. I definitely wouldn't do it at the latter, but the former? Sure.

I think my rule is: if they'll let me in wearing jeans, then my personal assisstant, Mr. A. Robustus, should be allowed in, too.

It's not a bad rule, actually--with the caveat that "let you in wearing jeans" actually means that people normally wear jeans there and not that most people have the sense to dress nicely, but they don't actually kick out that one asshole wearing a baseball cap.
