Restaurant Rage-These are a few of my least favourite things
July 16th 2008 05:06
Dear Restaurants,
The following things annoy me.
.
Main courses, that are smaller than postage stamps. I am at a restaurant because I am hungry. Not to see an exhibit of the world smallest steak
Upselling, “any sides” no I just ordered a $42 steak, it better come with sides .
Tapas. $39 for 3 mushrooms, 2 prawns and a mini chicken pie is not value nor is it dinner
Telling me off for cleaning up the table and plate stacking, “Oh we have a builder here” No I was just so bored waiting for the bill I decided to keep my mind active before, early on set dementia set in.
The new food and smoking rule in pubs. You can’t eat where smoking takes place, if I want to clog my arteries with chips and passive smoke at the same time, that’s my business, I don’t see how my eating of chips puts the smokers off.
15% surcharge on public holidays, every other Monday your restaurant is empty, but today the restaurant is full, that’s the magic of public holidays, don’t charge me extra, the only reason I’m here is due to the public holiday.
Lukewarm coffee, I don’t carry a microwave in my handbag please bring it to me hot.
Rocket on everything, I’m so over rocket.
Cheap cuts of meat at the same price as a Lobster lamb shanks shouldn’t cost $32.00.
No eftpos, what are you an Amish restaurant? Get with the times.
Not accepting American Express. See above point.
Babies, mobile phones, loud drunk women, all need to be taken outside and smacked into a wall until the noise stops.
Rustic mash potato, is just mash with lumps, do it properly please
Not enough napkins, if I have just ordered 10 Buffalo wings, I may need more than one toilet paper thin napkin.
Tricky shut days, “no sorry we’re shut on Wednesday night”, Wednesday night is a meal time, you should be open at meal times, you are a restaurant, and you have had all day to organise yourself.
Small tables covered with wine adverting, dessert of the month flyers, mother’s day lunch coupons, so there is no room when the mains on huge white plates the size of hub caps arrive, maybe if you took some of the propaganda down I might be able to eat my dinner without my elbows wearing through my ribs.
Salad with tomato and cucumber chopped up to the size of small blocks of units, I know you have knives back there, please use them.
The list goes on, please feel free to share your Restaurant Rage issues with me.
Cheers
Mel
