One time me and my girlfriend go into this local small italian diner. We get seated by a cook and hes like server will be with you. Theres only 1 server but theirs only like 2 or 3 other tables in the place. She keeps staring at me and then walking off. I chalked it off that she was busy, yeah right, after like 20 minutes of being ignored, she never said anything to us. Finally she sits down in the booth behind me and precedes to chit chat with the people there. I left after that and im like ill never go back there. Funny thing is my wife now eats there and says its delicious. Im like I wouldnt never know, they dont serve my kind there haha.

Yep, one time it was busy and the server got us as an extra table. Waited a half hour for something to happen, then we flagged somebody down and were all like "OMGWTF" and they gave us free desserts.

My mom grew up in bad-philly. We live near scottsdale,az now.

One time we were in iHop (Excuse the apple capitalization) and they did their birthday 'Chant'

Well, when my mom heard an african-american women start screaming, she told me later she thought a riot was breaking out.

even if you said "Oh my god what the f*ck", it still isn't as funny as if you said OMGWTF to her in real life.

HAHAHAHA

twice in a fridays. First time it happened the manager said the waiter had a family emergency and gave us some free stuff. The second time the waiter was fired before we ever saw him/her however the wait wasn't too long and another waiter picked us up.

It may be odd to you but oriental is a more accurate term than Asian and I prefer it.

Heh, slow service is the norm for fridays. Its not uncommon to go there and order drinks and wait 15-20 mins before the waiter brings them.

I was once at a Pizzeria Uno's - got the worst service of my life - 20 minutes to ask for drinks, 15 minutes to get the drinks, another 10 minutes (with all of our menus closed) for him to ask us what we wanted - 30 minutes for food - let to a 64 cent tip. And yes, I mentioned this (very politely) throughout the entire dinner.

I went to Applebees once with my girlfriend and we sat down in a booth. Then we sat there for 10 min or so and no one said anything to us. We went somewhere else to eat, it was kind of funny though.

where do you live?

do you live in alabama or something?

Why didn't you say anything to the waitress? after only 10 minutes, i would've asked the bitch what the deal is and if she is going to take our order

Fvck that I would never cop a attitude before I got my food. Now after I got my food, thats a different story.
 

No, if I don't have my drink order taken within 10 minutes of leaving I will make it known I'm there.

no, I would've asked if she is going to take our order... that cuss word I threw in the statement must've implied a different meaning

Yeah took 40 minutes once for a waiter. Apologizing came and we got some free food. Semi-ignored on sunday at a restaurant and paid the waiter in kind, with a negligble tip.

yes.

we left a tip of nothing.

damn waitress was apparently catering to tables that ordered more expensive things, because we had to go refill our own drinks (we were seated near the bar.) that just topped it. it took them at least 20 minutes to come and get the check from us. we had to flag people down to even get the check. she NEVER came by to see how we were doing.

No offense to anyone but things like this happen to everyone. but if it happens to black people its deemed racist and lawsuit time.
