We went to a restuarant last Sunday, Sept 12th. It was in the Harbison Area near I-26.

I have never had such an experience in my life. I never complain about things in a restuarant. But this was an exception.

There was a curly black hair in my salad. We both have blonde hair.

My steak was totally uncooked. I asked for medium and it was still cold in the middle.

The peanuts were stale.

And the waiter was so talkative that if my meal had not made me sick already I would not have had time to eat anyway.

He told us his life history. And all we wanted was our tea glasses full and then leave us alone. :???:

Be polite but be firm, ask him to leave you alone. Tell him you came out for a quiet night. Tell him you tip if your have a nice quiet evening. He talks, it takes away. Be upfront, which you really should not have to do that. Then always make the manager aware of his employees behavoir if it persist. Your paying for a meal not a talk show. As a person who worked many of my younger years in the food service industry and trained waitstaff, it is unacceptable to be that open and talkative, unless they are your regular customers that animate that type of relationship with their favorite waitperson. If the food is not of standard, send it back, that also puts the waitperson on alert to do things extra better just from that alone. Try it next time. Hopefully it will be better.

Those were good, reasonable steps that were recommended, so what's your problem, AngryAgain? You sound like you must be or have been a server and a slack one at that. You afraid you're going to be on the hotseat if more diners adopt these complaining guidelines?

AngryAgain is a very angry person, and we must understand that. He/she has probably been done wrong by the world in general, and just needs some time to work through those feelings, which must be eating away at the inner surfaces of his/her heart every waking moment.

AngryAgain has made it very clear that people who know things really bother him/her, so let's just back off, be supportive, and just let it be known that we are caring people that Angry can turn to in a crisis.

Anytime.

Angry,
Don't say anything to him, get his manager and do some sqawking and take the free meal plus another to keep the business "on the house". It works for me and then DO NOT tip him/her.

Swampfox, It seems Angry again, just does not like me.. never fails, any entry I make he shows that great ability to articulate his thoughts.

Angry again, how about tell us how you really feel, I can tell you starting to open up, a few more sessions and you will get it out.

Hey Swampfox, do you reckon we could get a business license and file a 1099 and start some counseling here? Maybe even file insurance and accept medicaid? Okay, I'll be nice.. I'm sorry....

Funny you should say that. I've been thinking that this site would be a gold mine for somebody doing graduate work in psychology, sociology, or even anthropology. I don't think it will be long before Angry shows up in somebody's research, and maybe he himself will be in a museum.

We have always been a colorful state.
