Things that annoy you in pubs/ restaurants

SparkyMark123

A few months ago I posted about all the things which annoy you in supermarkets. As a follow up what annoys you in pubs or restaurants I'll start.

1 - Que jumpers you wait for one person to be served and. When members of there extended family walk in they order drinks for all of them turning a five minute wait into a twenty.

2- people moaning when on the busiest days that they have to wait because they haven't pre booked

3- kids running riot / Chevy mums.

4- people unable to read the menu 2-1 Monday to Friday not Saturday or what does it come with- read the menu.

5- paying by card for a packet of crisps - seriously

6 bar hoggers - just move there's plenty of spaces

Over to you

Other people generally!!

Kids running riot is my pet peeve on your list.

My main vent is people who appear to frequent very low end restaurants or pubs and then complain when the clientele are not that sophisticated:)

Number 1 hate is standing behind numpties who take on the responsibility of ordering for a tableful and then at the food order point forget what the table number is and what anyone wanted to eat or drink. Worse is with kids who are then tasked to run back and forth from said food ordering point to the table with questions and clarifications which they promptly forget on the journey. So after 10 minutes of "did nan want peas or salad?", "did granddad want chips or mash?" and "how many chicken nuggets did your little sister want? Oh she wants a burger now?", I leave for another pub to start the process over again hopefully praying that its been "Ramsay'ed" and I can order confidently and efficiently.

Love it

Or those who give a General description of where there table is- it's in a corner.

Or when said bar person shows them a map they spend another 10 minutes deciding between two possible places

Thanks, I hate that too.

Kids who run around when there's customers or staff with drinks or food and the parents let them just carry on.

^^^^^^
THIS!!.......I work in a garden centre restaurant with 160 seats. When customers order food and we ask the table number.....(so we can obviously get the right food to the right table) some of them look at you gone out and then just point vaguely towards a corner. I politely say...."If you'd like to find out the table number whilst I start preparing your drinks...." and then turn away so they have no choice...:rotfl: works nearly every time.

Restaurants where the kids menu only has really unhealthy options.

Other peoples kids not behaving.

Stupidly over priced soft drinks, especially the watered down dispenser drinks.

Service charge being automatically added on.

Variation of portion sizes for kids menus. Some places you couldn't fill a 2 year with the portion, and some my husband would manage to eat.
