Oh man, I hate places like that - there's one snooty restaurant here where I almost HAVE to take my mom with me when I go there, because otherwise they quite literally will forget about me. Last time i went there I was there for three hours while they forgot my order of mussels TWICE! Luckily (?) they gave me a huge free martini but then I was drunk and had to cab home. At four in the afternoon. Funsies.
I swear waiters judge on how good of a tipper you look like. I routinely tip 25% because I greatly value good service - I enjoy going out for appetizers, so it's not like I'm spending a bundle, but I expect decent service and most of the restaurants I frequent, they know that and will bend over backwards to make me happy, lol.
But this chick forgot my drink, twice, and gave me a vodka martini instead of a gin one, and then "overheard" me talking about something that I was going to order - but I changed my mind before ordering...but she put the order in anyways! Boo bad tip!
And she took twenty minutes to tell us that the food we'd ordered (two orders of mussels) was sold out. I mean, either you have 'em or not, why's it take 20 minutes to figure that out!?
ALl of my friends are turning into grown ups and buying houses out in the country and I'd LOVE to do that but I hate driving/am not confident in my ability to drive (I'm next to legally blind and have reacted badly before when one has fallen out and I've been driving) so I am going to stick around here.
The bad thing is that I also hate pants and almost exclusively wear skirts, lol. I feel so trashy about it but I guess I excuse it because I wear thick nylons so it's not like anyone will actually see my girlparts.

I have such bad luck with waiters/waitresses. Maybe I just look like I would tip poorly?? I'm very polite and not demanding at all.
