Top 11 Annoying Restaurant Trends
This really made me laugh. When you click the link, you have to scroll through the arrows to read all of the trends, its not in article form. Being a server that has been trained to do each and every one of these things, I find it hilarious that someone wrote how they really feel. I know when I do out to eat I feel the same way. If I want something I will ask, I wont remember the specials you rattled off in 30 seconds, and a prix fixe menus are sometimes more annoying than worth the price. Most restaurants instill all these procedures into staffs brains, but sometimes the guest just doesn't want to be bothered. After many years of serving I learned it's best to get a feel for the guest. Sometimes you have someone that you can tell does not want to be bothered, they know what they want to order, and they just want to be served.

Restaurants are a little corny and pretentious and dont realize that a lot of the things that they are doing are unappealing and cheesy. The huge pepper mills are ridiculous, the running out of food is too. The $12 bottled water and the 1/2 page menu descriptions are things that don't impress me but make me laugh. Of course the staff doesn't know any better and they think this is lovely and fancy but its really not. People are getting more refined with time and hopefully people will make cheesy restaurants realize that this is unacceptable.
