Post your answer in the LEAVE A COMMENT section below. Then scroll back up and see what I have to complain about. Or you can wait until afterward . . . I’m not the boss of you. You know what? Don’t write anything for all I care! Rest assured, I won’t be annoyed if you don’t.

What one thing annoys you most at a restaurant?
Imagine, if you will, the following atrocity being allowed to go unmentioned, unquestioned, unresolved. Two patrons order the same menu item, the mere mention by the first inducing salivary action from the second. At plate’s presentation, patron #1 finds the aforementioned atrocity of inequitable fruit slices existing among the foster drizzle of patron #2’s flapjacks. What excuse can be afforded this server? A simple oversight, or something with more malice. Is this a case of sexism, ageism, or some other –ism unknown? It must be more than a mere oversight, for otherwise she lacks the very attention to detail that dictates the majority of her sliding-scale wage. A choice it must have been to deny me patron #1 their proper portion of fruit. So what is it that most annoys me at restaurants? No, it’s not discrimination or inattention to detail. You’re not earning your wage, dear reader, if you haven’t figured this one out by now. Tipping! Let’s be done with it. Just incorporate it into the price of the meal already.
