What peeves you at restaurants?

Answer 1

people talking on their cell phones

Answer 2

You've probably never seen this one before, but people should be more considerate when they take off their coats at the dinner table. All that flying hair and skin flakes. Too close to my table. Reataurants should have that rule. People cannot think for themselves. Pay attention next time. Yum Yum.

YES, besides someone 'blowing their nose' at the Table (GROSS), when the Waitress comes over to your Table and asks, "How is everything" (Food).

Answer 10

I hate sitting next to screaming kids and LOUD people in a restaurant.

My biggest pet peeve is when I have to wait forever for my food and when it finally comes out the order is wrong and everything is cold. This actually happened to my family and I over the weekend. We waited close to 30 minutes for our food while everyone else around us got their food in half the time. During this time our waitress never came out to check on us to see if we needed any refills or to let us know why our food was taking so long. We were told that they had a bunch of new people in the kitchen and they apolozied for everything but offered no discount. My family and I want be going back there anytime soon.

Answer 11

When the waitress forgets to bring thing that you ask for.

Or when they come over repeatedly during the meal, then disapear when it is time for the check.

Bad food, if you complain god only knows what you will end up with.

Loud patrons at the table next to you.

So many things I can't list them all.

Answer 12

A waitress working "too hard" for her tip. Honestly there is no need to come back 6 times in 5 minutes to ask how the food is or if I need mroe to drink...once or twice tops..give me a minute to taste it PLEASE!

Answer 13

when they don't understand English, or listen to you.

you ask for xtra peppers, they bring another pepper Shaker, or get t*t wrong completely

Answer 14

The waitress asking, "How is the food tasting?"  Food does not taste.

Answer 15

When the waitress forgets to bring you something that you asked for, and when you remind them they act like they are all over it, instead of admitting they forgot.

But on the other side.

I have been a waitress. It's a really hard job. On your feet all day, dealing with difficult customers, and so many other things to make it a hard job.

What irritates me to no end is when someone has given you excellent service, and people leave a ridiculous tip. A common tip for good service is 15 - 20% of bill. Your dicison if it's bad service.

Answer 16

Waiting  forever to get waited on and then waiting forever my food, then the food comes and its cold

Answer 17

Inattentive wait staff who expect big tips.

Answer 18

Servers who chew gum like a baseball player.

Answer 19

slow to wait on you but fast to hand you the bill

Answer 20

It peeves me that servers seem to time asking if I need anything when my mouth is full!!!

I'll tell you what I love too. I love it when the server keeps my glass full!

Answer 21

As a waitress, what peeves me when I go out to eat is when my waitress is NOWHERE to be seen.  She/he doesn't have to come to my table constantly, but at least be on the floor so i could get your attention if I need it!

Answer 22

When they don't give you napkins.

Answer 23

I hate slow service and dirty silverware.

Answer 24

When people blow their nose at the table.

Go to the restroom please!!

Answer 25

slow service.

also when you ask a waiter for something, water for example, and it takes him so long that when he passes by again you remind him, and then it still takes a long time, then you'll have to ask another waiter for water.

Answer 26

annoying loud people that sit around you. there are somethings i just dont want to hear.

Answer 27

Overhearing the staff complaining about their work, their boss, each other, etc.  I don't want to hear moaning and negativity when I'm dining.

Answer 28

1.) Waitstaff that are too attentive or not attentive at all,

2.) Rude waitstaff

3.) Patrons talking on cellphones while at dinner with other people

4.) Food not being prepared the way it was ordered

Answer 29

Good question!  

Waiting for a table, and waiting in a line to get through the door.  I patently refuse to wait more than 5 minutes. For any food.  Any place.  Unless there is a bar that will serve me all the beverages I want, and even then.

I also hate waiting forever to get the check.  I've got stuff to do, you know?

Answer 30

People who have no respect for others. I went out to eat the other day and I swear she thought she was at a house party. She was so loud and I felt like part of her group. I was out with my girlfriend so I just laughed it off. It looked like she got a lot of botox and eye lift. I am surprised she could even speak with her tight face.

Answer 31

tables too close to each other. no privacy
