So I've never stiffed a waitress at a restaurant until today. Waffle House has never been so absolutely fucking horrid. We went in at about 1:45 for a late breakfast. It must have been a shift change, because one girl came up and took our drink order, than a different one brought our coffees out. We placed our order around 2:00, and we didn't get our food until 2:40. I was so fucking pissed. It took them 25 minutes for our first coffee refill. My food was cold, brought out 10 minutes before Kelly's, so it got colder while I waited for hers. Her eggs has this weird greenish grease one it, her toast was cold. The woman brought out burnt to a cinder bacon and asked "Is this okay? She'll make another if not." I'm not picky about food, but I know I sure wouldn't have eaten it, and Kelly is a bit pickier than I, so she sent it back. Her waffle was goo in the middle, and was the last thing to come out. The waitress said "sorry, the waffle is taking longer to cook than usual," and it was still raw. What, were they cooking it with a bic lighter? I mean, seriously. At the olive garden we serve 20x time the people they do at the waffle house, with maybe only an additional one or two people more than they had on their staff. And if my food came out looking like that, that late after the guest ordered it, I'd be getting bitched out to the max. So we left her four pennies. I told Kelly that karma will come back tonight and someone will tip her four pennies, but I get paid hourly so I'm curious as to how I'll rub the slate clean.
