****OFFICIAL Server/Waitress Discussion Thread****

[Chattyaholic]

I know we all, as servers, waiters and waitresses, have problems at work with customers that we would like to vent about so THIS is the place to do it. Tell us about your nightmare customer experiences, embarrassing stories, even good things that have happened to you while waiting tables.

I've been a waitress in a local mom 'n pop diner for going on 11 years and my co-workers and I are always saying we should write a book about our collective "experiences" with customers. It would make for some interesting reading, that's for sure!

So, come on, share your stories with the rest of us!

ok I will go first. Last night I had a woman who told me that when she first started coming to our restaurant that she only paid 9.99 for a filet and how we have reallly jacked up the prices since then. Well that was 25 years ago ( we just celebrated our anniversary so, they rolled back the prices at lunch to what they were then ) I told her 25 years ago my parents bought their house for a 1/4 of what it is worth now. I mean really people you choose to come out. I dont set the prices. Please do not complain to me. By the way ............we charge $18.49 for a 7oz Filet that comes with a side and a salad. I dont think that is highway robbery.
