Unpleasant dinner

July 8th, 2006 at 01:25 pm

We tried someplace new for dinner last night. We got put out on the porch, with a party of about 20, half were kids. The noise was deafing plus they made a mess! Why don't people control their children.
The entire group left a tip of $3 which really upsets me because I use to be a waitress.
The entire place was understaffed. I had talked to a waitress from there a few months earlier and she had to quit because she was only making $130 a week in tips.
Waitresses only make $2.13 an hour and really count on their tips to live. They have to pay their tax and s.s. out of that $2.13.
After they left, another couple came in with a 3 year old that whined and cried the whole time.
By the time we left, we both had headaches, plus they forgot part of my dinner (baked potato) Oh well, we won't go back!

    I'm so sorry you had such a miserable experience. I wouldn't go back there either, and I hope you complain to the manager/s. They need to look into and either improve conditions there, or be prepared to go out of business.

    The owners have the other restaurant we go to all the time, we will certainly tell them next week!

    I'd wait a couple of months, then go back on a weekday night. You tend to avoid the children that way.

    yes you should tell the owners about the experience you had. You can always asked to be reseated. I do that sometimes if it is going to be a noisy party or i am by myself and i get seated between the two bathrooms. No thanks, I'll wait for another table. Just because i am alone sometimes when i go to eat does not mean i don't want a good experience.

    Ah, a topic near & dear to my heart.

    My two teenage daughters just returned from a visit at their grandparent's home where their 4 & 6-yr old cousins spend a lot of time. They ate out a lot during their month-long visit. They were not amused by the bad behavior of the cousins in the restaurants (climbing over the booths, running in the aisles, eating with hands what should be eaten with utensils, talking with mouths full, loud and obnoxious behavior, etc.). They corrected the children only to be scolded by Grandma for being too stuffy! What is this world coming to???
