Nic: Encountering Waiter From Hell

Re: Happy (expletive deleted job hunting)/Nic, Rants, Raves & Random Thoughts

Nic: He takes our order and the food came out quicker than I expected. We talked and enjoyed the food. The waiter stopped by a couple times to check how things were going.The last time he checked in he asked if there's anything else he could get us and Bekah told him that it was my birthday. The waiter dropped a dessert menu down on the table and told me I got a free dessert. Aside from the rough start(Bekah and I are sure he was trying to look down her shirt) things were going predictably superb. That is until the waiter delivered our check. Bekah opened the black folder and scrunched her face in an unsettled look. "I don't think that's OK." she said. I asked what it was and she shook her head but then handed me the bill. At the top of the receipt, the waiter chicken scratched "Happy mother effin' birthday." No joking. I wish I was kidding.

DFO: I needed to give a higher profile to this post by Nic.

Question: Have you had a close encounter with a bad waiter/waitress recently?
