Don't make me spit in your food!

No fucking shit, I abhor cell phone use during a meal with other people. I consider it incredibly bad manners.
 
I was at a bar once that had food that was so awful I ended up spitting some of it out in a trash can outside.

good thing you did, mike.
what you spit out was probably the gps trackers they were trying to trick you into eating.

s'ok, they'l slip a few into your next order at burger king.
 
Nancy won't go to the Indian restaurant because she believes they spit in the white people's food. You don't know her.

What I don't understand is when you see a couple and all they are doing is playing with their phones, no communication between them at all.

Why the hell are you even out together?

When my wife and I go out we have a rule that the cell phones are off, we don;t even want to know if someone is trying to call us. Its our night out and its to enjoy each others company and remind us of why we do enjoy that company.

You must be old.
 
On the one hand, I abhor rude cell phone usage. On the other, I think paying customers should be able to take as much time as they want in a restaurant.

Two of our local Indian Takeaway food outlets have kitchens clearly visible to the customers and from the street so that you can see exactly what the cooks do.

They are the most popular takeaway outlets.
 
Also, fuck you if you're a douchebag to a server. It is complete hell to be stuck in a situation where you have to pleasantly take care of peoples' needs when they're being utter dicks, because you have to make rent this month. Fuck that noise.

And there's never a good enough reason to spit or put any other bodily fluids on someone's meal. That's trashy.

My first non-entrepreneurial job was in an pizza, spaghetti and grinder place. I crushed on the waitresses and wanted to do bodily harm to the rude customers they would gossip about out of their earshot. None of them, even in jest, suggested doing anything retaliatory.

Treating wait-staff poorly is the best evidence you could ever need about what a person will be like in the long term with you. They didn't cook your food or make sure the last bits of cheese were removed from the tines of the forks. I was meticulous about inspecting as a dishwasher. I was never going to embarrass "my girls." When I advanced to cook, if I screwed up an order I brought the replacement out personally to apologize.

I never, ever send my food back. If it is passable I eat it. If not, I tip well and never come back. I eat out mostly for ambiance and companionship. I am often disappointed with food I could prepare better myself. If I am dining alone I hit ethnic dives that look scary and am rarely disappointed. If a place LOOKS like it might be condemned, yet is still open, you can bet the food is great. Cop cars out front are a good indicator as well.
 
My son is a Chef, through him I have learned to be far more polite to servers and I rarely send food back.

He says 90+% of food sent back in his restaurant(a very good high volume restaurant) was exactly as ordered and the customers don't understand what a medium rare steak is or how well cooked fish should be.

His most hateful thing is a well done steak, they almost always get them back as overcooked. Most people who order them are too stupid to understand they are intentionally asking a Chef to ruin a prime cut of some of the greatest beef in the world. They get 50%+ of them back as tough and chewy.

A ribeye might be able to handle a welldone cook because of all the fat. When people ordered sirloins or filets WD, it made me cringe, there's not enough fat, it's texture will be chalky.

At the end of my career I had worked my way into a classy joint, where the customers NEVER ordered anything well done! Guests didn't bring their children, so no more cheerio armageddons! We didn't do complimentary birthday celebrations. And the best part, we were allowed free access to the split/combine check screen- You see, servers in low class chain restaurants have to chase a manager down and get them to split a check because there is a way a server can scam the restaurant through that interface.

p.s. I quit waiting tables almost 8 years ago.
