    Well, I guess that answers the question as to whether everyone was watching him or not.

      When I first started seeing my current SO he was a bit hard (I thought) on the waitstaff at restaurants. One time we went out to eat and had a great server. She was friendly, she didn't hover, she didn't ignore us, our food and drinks came out quick and correct. Perfect. So I pointed this out to SO and he agreed and got ready to go...I said "why is it when you get bad service you'll have no problem tying up amanager about it, but when you get great service you don't pass that along? I think that girl was new here and I bet she'd love to hear that she did a great job as well as receive a nice tip." I shocked him I think, but he did as I suggested, called over a manager, told him she did a superb job and to please let her know how much we appreciated it. The girl was so shocked (she probably thought she screwed up when we asked for the manager) she could only stammer something I think was meant to be "thank you".

      SO has gotten much better over the last couple years, he will still complain if needs be, but he now takes into account if the restaurant is very busy, if the server is overworked, if the server is also trying to wrangle a huge party, etc. before he opens his trap.

      My work here is done.

        I would have bought Miss Model her drink for her.

        *Applause applause* that was awesome!

        I've never understood the logic in being a dick when out on a date. I am not being a sexist here, it's just that being a heterosexual female, all I've ever dated is men....and I've been on quite a few dates where the guy prided himself on "impressing" me by treating waitstaff like shit. I'm sure girls have done it too, but I've never dated women. I've seen girls make asses of themselves in front of their dates by being extremely slutty or loud....

        How is treating wait-staff like shit supposed to impress anyone when out on a date? A guy acting like that just shows that if he treats people like that then sooner or later he'll treat his date the same way.

          It's got to be some throwback class consciousness thing from like the Victorian era or something.

          Because it's all about lording it up and flaunting your "superiority."

            As a homosexual male, gonna have to say this hits my neck of the woods too. Had a guy try to impress me on a date with how he yelled at the wait staff, tried to get everything remade, and a refund because (get this) the bread in his french onion soup was soggy...

            I walked out there, and gave the waitress 10 bucks for dealing with his stupidity.
            Okay, date or no date, if it had been me (and if it were, the person on the other side of the table would be female, not male), I'd probably just say "You're a fucking idiot, you know that, right. The bread is baked into the soup. Of course it's soggy. Not to mention you've been a total bitch to the waiter so far, when, quite frankly, he doesn't deserve it. If this is how you normally treat people, I don't think this is going to work out, sorry.". Then get the bill, pay it up, leave a tip *in the waiter's hand*, and walk out. If my food was already getting prepared? I'd get it to go. (Not gonna let good food go just because the date couldn't act civilized, after all )
