If you're paying for good service, you should get good service. In a place that's quiet enough so you don't have to shout your order above the din of metal chairs and conversation echoing off the walls. Decent sized plates too.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640337113047435688.post-63367554333110356742011-11-08T08:26:38.652+08:002011-11-08T08:26:38.652+08:00omg Romina! *faints dead away*

I was not raised in a particularly fancy household, but I was taught that when you were finished your meal, you lay your cutlery across the plate, to indicate that you're done. So many waitresses come around while you're still holding a knife and fork to ask if you're finished with the plate. If I was finished I wouldn't still be holding my fork!no-onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01166048458762333739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640337113047435688.post-11916356416727006792011-11-08T03:32:37.657+08:002011-11-08T03:32:37.657+08:00All of the above.

Don't get me started on this - no-one would accept a coffee not made the way they requested it. The barista works hard at getting everything perfect. But order a cup of tea and it's treated with less respect than bringing a bottle of water to the table. I like my tea black and weak - I don't want it stewed, I don't want milk spilled into the bottom of the cup, I don't want the water boiled to extinction in the cappuccino machine, if I ask for English Breakfast I don't want Earl Grey, I don't want it to sit on the counter for ten minutes before they bring it to me, I don't want a tea bag - especially not a cheap, no-name one - I could go on and on and on.....lizzyminttnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8640337113047435688.post-36161505214549384532011-11-07T21:38:44.981+08:002011-11-07T21:38:44.981+08:00A stint of waitressing a few years ago very nearly...A stint of waitressing a few years ago very nearly put me off dining out permanently!<br />I saw things I will never be able to unsee.<br />:-)Mum on the Runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543791863884733714noreply@blogger.com
