Restaurant pet peeve

[Anonymous]

I KNOW this is ridiculous, but my giant pet peeve is when a menu says "caramelized onions" and they're really just grilled or sauteed. I'm addicted to GOOD caramelized onions, and I think 90% of the time they get it wrong.

My pet peeve is when they don't clear the table between courses...

when they throw butter packets at you, frozen solid and barely usable. Nothing like real butter, people, and easily spreadable please!!

OP again - yes! This and when I don't get a clean fork for the next course. Even in a more casual restaurant, but especially in a nice restaurant.

I don't like how they clear plates while some people are still eating. So rude.

I had a friend who literally engaged in a tug of war with the waiter who was trying to take her plate before the rest of us finished!

+1 Why do they do this? So rude. I hate it.

Or when they stack dishes in front of you.

When they interrupt u a number of times to ask how things are.

When you don't get the wine vintage you ordered, but get charged the same price, figuring you don't know the difference. "No, a 2011 is NOT an acceptable replacement for a 2007." (California Cab)

Waiters who are too friendly or chatty, sort of like a masseuse who talks while giving you a massage.

This is terrible. I have instructed my husband, who is a quicker eater than I, to hold onto his plate!

I like that. I don't want to see your dirty plates while I'm eating.

OP, I get you. My pet peeve is when I order hot fudge and instead get cold, thin, fake tasting chocolate sauce. No, it is not even close to an acceptable substitute.
