[QUOTE="HMT204, post: 1831131, member: 2"] Went to a local steak house about a year ago during a holiday. It was a Friday and there were 5 of us 2 couples and a friend. We were told the wait would be 45 minutes (okay the wait time would be the same or worse at any place). Well 50 minutes later our buzzer goes off and they call our name. We go in to get seated and get told they called the wrong name. A group of 6 that got there after we did got seated first (strike one). So I grab a toothpick off the hostess stand and a 17/18 year old kid says are you going to pay for that (WTF, strike two) He could see I was not happy and said he was just joking. They finally seat us and we wait 20 minuets to even get just drinks (we made sure to order dinner at the same time for fear of never getting the chance). We never see the waitress after that but do get our meals. We had to ask other wait staff to get refills etc (what are we up to strike 4?). Waitress finally comes back to take payment 2 credit cards and I am paying cash for ours. Waitress comes back with the credit cards to be signed and says have a good night. Our bill was around $49 and all I had was 20's so I gave her 60 expecting change. That was the last strike I asked for a manager asap. I explained the nights events and he offered to comp the table.
