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.

Yeah, I have the same sort of reaction ^^;

I do remember being very put out when service charge was automatically added to my bill for a buffet. 'Thank you for watching me pick up a grubby plate and serve myself, here, have a tip! Er, no.'

That is annoying, but you do still have people who clear away your used plates and (in some places) bring your drinks. I think the etiquette for tipping at a buffet is a dollar per diner. And a service charge is a bit obnoxious.

UK /= America

Tip is for good service, it's not standard.

Also, other stuff happened which really means they should be fired, never mind losing a tip.

Ah, my bad. I didn't know you were in the UK.

Sounds like a crappy outing.
