Answer 1

I wouldn't complain on something that insignificant. But forget all that sh*t about making all those notes that have nothing to do with the situation.

Answer 2

I agree, the butter is always separate just in case you do butter it and they didn't want it to be.

I'm a kitchenhand and this is how we would do it if we served toast. The thing about her being overweight means nothing if she's a paying customer.

Answer 3

To complain is just being picky. Butter your own bread, lady! I always ask for mine on the side b/c I can't stand when my toast is soggy w/ butter. Everyone has their own preference when it comes to condiments. Being in the service industry, I hope he got a good tip!

Answer 4

I would not complain to the manager that my toast wasn't buttered. Thats the cooks job, why blame the waiter.

Answer 5

Ordering the waiter around is the closest thing she will ever have to a management position. I bet the WHOLE wait staff will really pay SPECIAL attention to her next order ;-)

Answer 6

I think the doors on restaurants and grocery stores should be 14 inches wide.  That would keep the fat people out, solve the obesity epidemic, and make the dining experience more enjoyable for the rest of the people.

If there was something like the eggs were raw, coffee cold, etc then you complain politely.

I know the kind of woman you are talking about.  She was probably screaming and yelling.  If I was manager I would tell her she can't come here anymore.

Every time my wife and I go out to eat, fast food, steakhouse, fine dining, anywhere.... we always see at least one person over 400 lbs. who is eating stuff they shouldn't be eating.

Yeah, I'm 10 lbs or so overweight, but come on.

Answer 7

My wife is a waitress and it's disgusting how some people treat her! Men think it's ok to try and pick her up, women are nasty for no reason and most children have no manners at all. Should have spit in the butter!!! Any waitress or waiter that gives me a decent meal and a smile gets a full 20% tip; if not more.

BTW - spell check works.

Answer 8

The restaurants I have worked at have ALWAYS served the butter on the side. Waiters and kitchen staff aren't mind readers, they don't know if the customer  wants just a little bit of butter or a lot. I personally just like the merest scrape of butter on my toast and prefer to do it myself.  It sounds to me like this woman just likes to complain, with all the stress going on in her family shes just taking it out on someone  who can't answer back.

Answer 9

I think buttered bread should be the last thing your worried about. How about focus on  car loans,bankruptcy,and tax evasion. Waiters and waitresses have a hard job, it didn't warrant compaining to the manager. Think about it.!!!!!

Answer 10

To turn the situation around.......when I order toast I always ask for it dry.  If it came buttered I would, and have, mentioned it to the waitress but I don't think something that trivial should be mentioned to the manager.  It's not the servers fault.  It's the fault of the cook who didn't bother to pay attention to the order.  

Now....if the server didn't write it down then it's not the cooks fault.  I would just ask for what I ordered and leave it at that.  

Some people just love to complain.  

Yesterday we went out for breakfast and I ordered two poached eggs but asked that they be put in a separate dish and NOT on the toast.  The waitress said,  "No problem".

They came on top of my toast.  Now, that was the waitresses fault for not noticing the mistake before bringing it to the table.  And BTW, I didn't complain, I just got rid of the bread and enjoyed my breakfast.

Answer 11

i work at olive garden and people come in just to try to get free food but me personally i realize most people don't want to work so if you go somewhere and someone screws up why yell at them. they don't want to be there.

Answer 12

That woman is scum, get over it

Answer 13

first of all, GET OVER IT!  many times a server will bring condiments on the side because these days, just about everyone wants everything "on the side". general rule as a server, you can never go wrong with that.  this is not something to complain to management about.  get your priorities straight.  we are servers, not servants.

Answer 14

cant she butter it herself?
