Slow service at the restaurant

Beaufort Arms, Stoke Gifford - today we had to wait in a queue of people at the bar asking for refunds because the food was taking so long to be delivered! We'd waited an hour and 15 mins by this point. The worse thing is that none of the bar staff made any mention of a delay when we ordered. Last week the wait was a mere 50 minutes, which was bad enough!

After waiting almost an hour for two Tuna and Mayonnaise sandwiches (how difficult can that be?) in a pub in South Manchester when taking my mum out for lunch, I demanded a refund. The sulky girl on the counter called for the manager, who it turned out wasn't there so she reluctantly gave me my money back.
There were about 4 other people in the place at the time and I could hear the kitchen staff arsing about in the back. No apologies and no explanation, which is typical of 10th rate Britain.

I waited 3 and a half hours at a chiness retraunt for a meal that had 3 chicken wings 3 chicken balls some rice and an egg roll why idk it was kinda busy like mayby 10 people but still their excuse we only have 1 wok and 1 cook yet they have 7 f**king waitresses my advice hire another cook by some more woks and actually give me my pop instead of sending me off with my food to-go and no pop!!! uhhh!! I told them you guys are f***ing slow and have horible service oh and one last thing you lost a customer whiel leaving I slamed the door kicked the handel in and thro my chicken balls at the windows I was pissed

Some of the larger pub chains are the worst offenders when it comes to having to wait ages for your meal.And there is a good reason for this.They use this ploy on the premise that customers will buy more drinks whilst waiting for their meals to arrive in the meantime,therefore maximising their profits.There is absolutely no excuse for this when you arrive at a near empty pub at noon opening time & then you are told there is a waiting time of half an hour or more for food.This has happend to me on several occasions.
Also,beware of buying soft drinks that are filled half to three quarter full of ice.This is another con trick.With the rip off prices charged in some of these establishments for soft drinks then it pays to be wise to this.Many unsuspecting customers don't realise that they are in actual fact being ripped off by paying for a glass of watered down soda by volume.Don't fall for it!Complain!

Restaurant staff get treated badly by scum(management and customers), so do you think they really give a f### about your meal? Not for minimum wage they don't.

That'll be why you don't get a tip then. Well partly that and the fact that you're an idiot.

Restaurant service is usually slow because all of us waiting staff are usually taking the time to spit in your soup, rub your toast up our butt-cracks, put optrex in your tea, play floor hockey with your burger, wee in your lemonade, jack off into your salad!

Now THAT's how to deal with bad service ;)

Bob - Problem is, the guys and girls that work in the restaurants aren't paid enough to care. Would you on their wage?

All they are doing is greasing their boss, keeping him nice n cosy.

If you have a boss that cares about his staff, looks after them well enough, they move a little faster.

Restaurants with slow service should speed up the process to serve their customers so they don't wait a long period of time.

I waited for 22 minutes (4 minutes in queue and 18 minutes waiting after giving my order) in McDonalds. All for regular fries and chicken burger without mayo! I didn't complain about the slow service one bit...

What annoys me is when people come into my pharmacies and complain why their 10 items prescription is taking so long to do I.e. over 5 minutes... eh.

You go to a resteraunt for the atmoshphere and the pleasure of good communication with the people you dine with! If you're so impatient and want to order eat and leave within 5 minutes, I suggest you just go to McDonalds.
You're the sort of person who orders a very well done steak then complains when it's not out in exactly THREE minutes, arent you?
