dusk 910 Posted July 2, 2012 So I was today out on city with my few good friends to celebrate my friend's birthday. Then we decided to go somewhere to eat something and went to one nice looking tex mex restaurant (My friend had been there once with his dad and said that there was good food) First everything was looking nice and we went and took seats and then waited if waitress would come, she didn't come to give us service and we had to ask her and she was kinda annoyed that she had to service us. Then we started to wait if we would get our food and went to take some salad. (Everything still fine) Then we started to get annoyed since we didn't seem to get our food and there was even people who got there after us, but got their food before us. After almost one hour of waiting: We got our food, it was pretty good, but there was something suspicious in my friend's food: There was fricking toothpick inside his food (dunno how that is even possible, but that is the truth) We asked nicely fron waitress that what was going on and she was like: "Haha, not my problem, eat or not eat it" After we had eated we asked if we could get some kind of discount for this mistake and then she was like "There is no good reason to give you anykind of discount. You kids just pay and go away" Kids? Last time I checked there wasn't any reason to give bad service to kids And this isn't that whole restaurant was bad, everybody else ADULTS got fine service. So I'm kinda annoyed for this, what is the damn reason to treat me and my friends like that because we aren't adults?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Queen Tery 4,591 Posted July 2, 2012 That is pretty messed up. May I ask what kind of food your friend got, the one that had a toothpick in it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rikufan25 170 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Maybe you should call and complain about their poor services to the manager. Edited July 2, 2012 by rikufan25 1 4Everbee reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Err, it had somekind of fried potato thingy and chicken with sauce. I'm certain that toothpick didn't belong to meal itself since there wasn't toothpick on my food and I got same as him.

HarLea Quinn 26,501 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Sorry for your terrible experience.The reason why the waitress acted this way is bc kids arent usually always the best tippers. True story .Ive worked in this industry while working and in college and can say this through experience. ..Its unfair to judge all kids as bad tippers but unfortunately this happens.

I'm certain that toothpick didn't belong to meal itself since there wasn't toothpick on my food and I got same as him. Alright, I just wasn't sure if maybe he got a sandwich or something like that. Typically, nicer restaurants do that, so I was just checking. I'm sorry that you had that experience. You probably should've asked to see a manager and then politely tell the manager. Even show the toothpick and food to the manager. Even if the waitress won't acknowledge you and get the manager, then find another employee to get you the manager.

KissyFace 134 Posted July 2, 2012 Did you report her to the manager? That seems a little extreme. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keyblade Master Xine 196 Posted July 2, 2012 I work at the restaurant area at my college, and I took culinary classes, so I can tell you that what that waitress did was unacceptable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A mystery 346 Posted July 2, 2012 That sounds terrible, such a shame too because you thought the food was good. At least you got your food. Once when I went out to eat with my family and the waitress brought everyones' food, but mine. I ended up getting my meal for free, but it didn't taste good and it was cold.
