Even the corned beef hash slam, the oreo blender blaster, and the meat lover's skillet, and the sampler with seasoned fries substituted for onion rings, and the covered and smothered hash browns?!?!?

Yes.

I never feel...right after I eat there, and lots of other places do Oreo Shakes.

Well fvcking duh!

What's the average check per person at Denny's? Like $8? Why would good servers stick around for such cheap guests. Even if everyone tipped the standard 15-20% (and good luck at Denny's--it's mostly amateurs who eat there in the first place--don't expect them to know how to tip), the average ticket is still low, so tips are also low. Denny's is a high turnover kind of place because of the low tips, and any place with high turnover is going give relatively crappy service.

Nah, they don't suck. They're extremely overpriced for what you get, but they don't suck.

How can you be an "amateur" restaurant patron? What, if you're a baby and have only eaten a few dozen meals ever?

Basically, it's a person who doesn't eat out a whole lot. Bad behavior (like pain-in-the-ass special requests or just being rude to the restaurant staff) and bad tips are the primary indications. Ask any server about Valentine's day and Mother's day. Those are the definitive "amateur nights" of the restaurant business. Oh, and don't forget to ask about teenage tables.

Does that make a Diner's Club card akin to 'elite' status?
