I keep noticing this one too. Why rob yourself of the chance to sell me one more drink, or upsell me some dessert? It's just self-defeating.

If the restaurant is busy, it's likely people are waiting for you quit stuffing your fucking face and whining about stupid shit so other patrons can have a bite. It's not all about you.

lol I had no idea that's what that mean. I,A is also for learning. (Also, going to keep that in mind if I feel I need another drink and/or tipping my usual.)

Besides, telling people to hurry up and finish their meal because other people are waiting has a certain ring of social engineering about it. All your arguments are shit, Steed, y'know that ?

I think the last time it happened to me was at McCormick and Schmick's...

I never told anyone anything, bach. I simply and crudely suggested that perhaps others were waiting and that is why the waitress was giving them bill early. If you don't even know what an argument is, how can you tell someone their argument is "shit"? You know, the internet is chock full of information. Maybe you should educate yourself a little more and than come back and hang with the big boys. Kay?

So this IA is whining that the restaurant bill gets delivered to them a tad early (in his opinion)?





Could you and your "lady" please commit murder/suicide, please?

I wonder if you could do the same for us all?

Completely inappropriate. Restaurant etiquette dictates that the server bring the check only after the diners have moved their napkins from their laps to the table.

Sure, 80% of your customers don't know this, but those people should not change your restaurant's commitment to good service. IA, write this shit on their Yelp page and never go back.

I prefer the English method. Move your plate to the left and put your silverware on it!

How about you people just accepted your damned bill like an ADULT and finished enjoying your food, instead of whining about dumb petty bullshit?

You're not kidding. The best service I get is at my local dive.

Don't whine about petty bullshit, says the guy who punched a restaurant's window out.

Totally agree. I think it's so rude, but servers always do this. "No rush," they say, as they deliver your bill with your main course. Sigh. I'm moving back to France, where they book your table for the whole evening. Hate all you want--it backfires on the server (like you pointed out, they are underselling extra drinks or dessert) and isn't good service.

Don't think you're that important Damosa. 99% of the time I give no fucks about anything you say. Unless you're being a vile piece of shit to someone with cancer.

I like when they put it down quickly. Then I can pay sit for awhile and leave on my terms. When servers wait until they think I'm "finished" I end up waiting forever, past when I'm ready to go. I know small insignificant annoyances in life can be bothersome, but being a mature human being means realizing it's not a big deal, and learning to not become flustered over small issues. But I guess people need problems, we can't really be content about anything.
