Embarrassing, Food, Relatable and Restaurants: Look at this

Look at this

Today, I was having dinner with some friends at an Applebee's. I couldn't decide on what I wanted, and after about 10 minutes of me flipping through the menu, our waiter brings over the braille menu complete with gigantic pictures of all the dishes and says, "Here, I thought this might help." FML

Today, I took my date to a restaurant but I had no idea how picky of an eater she is. Our waiter had to practically use 3 pages in his notebook just to write down all her special requests for this single meal. By the end, I could see he really wanted to ask if she was being serious or taking the piss. FML

Today, I was eating at Applebees at a high table with bar stools. I was reaching over to get some gum out of mom's purse when my chair flipped out from under me and my soda fell on top of me and got in my ear. To make things worse, the waiter ran over and shouted "I give that one a 10!" FML

Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML

Today, my friends and I were going to Applebee's. A girl we don't like invited herself along. She waited for my friend outside of the bathroom, forced her to drive her, and said, "It's okay someone will pay for me." She then ate off of everyone's plate and left before the bill came. FML

Today, while on a blind date at Hooters, I ordered my food and the waitress asked me if I was stoned, because she couldn't understand me. I have a speech impediment. FML

Today, my family and I went to Olive Garden. Due to my autism, I sometimes have a nervous tic, which presented itself while I was looking at the menu. I would have appreciated it if my mom hadn't then screamed at me to stop in front of the entire restaurant. FML

Today, I was out to dinner with a friend. When the bill came with a customer satisfaction survey, I put honestly that the "server friendliness" was "below average." Ten minutes later, I had to return to the restaurant to beg the waitress for my keys, which I had left on the table. FML

Today, at work, I got to wait on one of those tables where everyone had very complex orders, and some of them sent their food back. When the time finally came for me to bring them their check and receive my well-earned tip, I returned only to discover that they'd dined and dashed. FML

What a jerk. So what if it took you 10 minutes to figure out what you wanted to eat. I would have drawn him a picture of a big penny for his tip for being a smart ass.

I don't know if anyone should be outraged by this. The whole response depends on how the waiter did it. If he was going for some laughs at your table and he was smiling/friendly when he did it, then good for him. If he was being a snotty asshole when he gave you the menu, that's a different story. Laughter disarms people and when you are schilling shitty food for tips at McApplebees, you have to work hard for 'em. I feel bad for wait staff, there isn't much of a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day when your big goal was to refresh my soda 6 times at dinner.

LOL. I think to truly judge the waiter, we'd need to know more about the way he presented the menu. If he did it jokingly.. then it's hilarious. If he was serious (and not trying to help) then.. he's a bit of a dick.. but it's still hilarious!

Chef Gordon Ramsey, in between calling people ***** and wankers, says that pictures on the menu are a sign of a shitty restaurant!

In the words of Chef Ramsey, bleep off you bleeping bleep bleep bleep! Of course we care about some faux chef on TV asshat, he wouldn't be on TV season after season, series after series, if we didn't! Some people are really dense.

That waiter was awesome. If I got a picture book for a menu I'd be more likely to try new things, since most dishes look delicious by photo and not by description/ingredient.
