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.

A group of uswent to a local restaurant in Hemel for my birthday. Considering it was so close, it was surprising we'd never been before, but I guess noone had ever recommended it.
From the outside it looked ok, but inside we noticed little things like tin foil wrapped around the light fittings to hide bare wires. The owners wife 'served' us, and for 'served' read 'attacked'.
Waitress school 101 ;
* When someone does not finish their meal the correct approach is "Was everything OK with your meal madam ?" and not "What's wrong with it ? You could do with eating more anyway."
* The correct way to take an order is "May I take your orders ladies and gentlemen ?" and not "Hands up for soup"
