[QUOTE="Ovinomancer, post: 8356629, member: 16814"] I've done that once. That involved having to wait while watching the server chat for 20 minutes before coming to the table, which glancing over, making eye contact, and then going back to his chat. When he did finally come over, he reached ACROSS ME to grab my wife's (then fiancee) shoulder and say "we'll start with you," clearly trying to flirt. Things actually got worse from there, with a 40 minute wait for food (which was desserts and coffee). We (it was us and another couple) left a lemon tip -- which is where you place a lemon wedge in the middle of a cleaned plate, centered on the table, and stick a single penny upright into the wedge, making it absolutely clear that the penny is intentional. All of us had been servers at some point. I grew up a bit after that, though, and the next time I had terrible service, we spoke to the manager about it. I've also asked to speak to a manager so I could praise the server and/or staff. I've done the latter far more often than the former -- you have to really be doing a bad job for me to speak to the boss about you. Since I've been a server before, and know what it's like to get in the weeds, my tolerance is pretty high. [/QUOTE]
