Bad Food Service
My wife and I dine out a lot. We just get so busy that we do not always have time to cook. We try to eat cheap and so we spend a lot of time at our local diner. We eat there a lot and I am getting disgusted with the service. It seems to be a trend in the food service industry.
I can not stand having to wait forever to be waited on and then the waitress/waiter never comes back. I do not think I am over demanding and I always tip well. Is it too much to ask to have my drink refilled and to have my food done properly? I do not expect miracles but I do think good customer service and making sure your customer is satisfied goes hand in hand with running a diner or restaurant.
I always tend to comment that this would be a great place to open a diner. I would love to think maybe it is just the area I live in. However, I have lived in three different states and I have visited many more and it seems to be a national trend to give bad service.
I feel bad not tipping but I am getting so annoyed that I might just quit tipping when I am not satisfied 100%.
Anybody else feel this way?
