...I have a very low tolerance for idiocy.

Last night, four couples including me and the S.O. went out to dinner at a "nice" restaurant, as we do every year.

The waitress came to our table promptly, and, seeing that we were bullshitting, offered to get us all a glass of water while we pondered what drinks we might want; and she did.

Ten minutes later she came back for our drink order. Three of the females in the group acted as though the request was totally out of the blue. They THEN picked up the drink menu, started discussing what might be a nice wine or drink to order...while the waitress fiddled her thumbs for ten minutes before actually getting our orders. Twenty minutes later she came back and, seeing that that we were STILL just bullshitting, said she would be back "in a bit" to get our food orders...which she did. AGAIN, the three ladies appeared never to have suspect that anyone would ask something so vulgar as what they might like to eat, chatted among themselves for another ten minutes before giving their orders, two of them changing their minds in mid-selection.

Same laborious process when she finally came around with our checks. The last of the three was puzzling with her fucking cell phone for ten minutes as she gazed upon the check - apparently trying to figure out what 20% (or whatever percentage) of the tab came out to. Waitress gave up and walked away after observing this process for as long as she could stand it.

Had I been the waiter, I would have executed everyone at the table right around the time she gave up getting our food order within the first hour. Wouldn't do much for my tips, I suspect.
 
Some people have no respect for those serving them
They have multiple tables to take care of and inability to order after having the menu for such a long time is unfair.
Pick what you want first….then go back to gabbing

You should have a chat with fbj .

Some crazy waitress had the nerve to ask him what he would like to drink and he was so upset he posted a whole thread bitching about it.
 
On a related subject, parents who allow their four-year-olds to order from the menu while the server stands around waiting for the decision.

Seriously ignorant. Find out what your kids want, and order for them. Is that so difficult?
