Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

McDonald's, Of CourseHere in Sacramento, I once saw a guy pull out a knife in order to get better service. People played it cool, and he got the service he demanded.
I once heard the pulpy sound of a watermelon shattering on the floor. Turned out the gigantic woman in line behind me had fainted, and the watermelon sound came from her head hitting the linoleum.
In Winslow, Arizona, I once ordered a Fudge Sundae AND a Diet Coke, together, and the pleasant Mormon behind the counter refused to comply, saying both were bad for me. Dammit, didn't have a knife!
In Las Vegas, there was once a McDonald's (mid-1980's, since closed) in the basement of one of the Strip hotels. Labor then was scarce, and so the night crew, with just one exception, was composed of near-unemployables: the lame, slow, halt, and mentally-compromised. A big theatrical performance had just let out around midnight, and people piled into the place - rich, impatient, obnoxious people, who quickly began making rude and imperious demands. Retards they might have been, but they still had their pride, and so they went on an impromptu work slow-down. It took me an hour and a half to get a burger, but it was sure fun to watch!
