First of all, you NEED TO STOP EATING AT RED LOBSTER and go someplace with DECENT SEAFOOD.
Secondly, A MENU is 100% NOT A LEGALLY BINDING DOCUMENT and the menu DOES NOT SAY THE SERVER WON’T GIVE YOU UNASKED-FOR REFILLS. You are taking a CRAZED MONKEY-SHITTING FIT over something that NO SANE PERSON 100% CARES ABOUT.
THERE IS 100% NO SUCH LAW.
I and everyone else would very much appreciate it if YOU WOULD 100% FIND a more suitable message board for your INSANITY, such as 4chan or the FUCKED UP CRAZY ASS BITCH MESSAGE BOARD.
As I said, it’s not the same. It’s NOT “CONTRADICTORY”, because NO TIME has been wasted to give me bread or mints, because they are bringing drinks/the check to the table.
Also, the refills aren’t truly free if you think about it. YES, you are paying a price to GET that refill. It’s not TOTALLY 100% free. It’s kind of like buy 1, get 1 free. YOU HAVE TO BUY THE FIRST ONE TO GET THE NEXT FREE. Meaning, you are in a WAY, PAYING for the refills or if you don’t get any, you get ripped off honestly. It cost me at the most $1.50 for a 2-liter these days, which I NEVER even pay that much. I usually pay $1-$1.25 for a 2-liter of coke. You really think the price of a coke is over $2(which is the price these days) when they give you coke from the dispenser plus ice? Of course it doesn’t cost that.
Also, soft drinks are something you are SUPPOSED TO GET TO ORDER YOURSELF, unlike free bread or chips n’ salsa, which is NOT listed on the menu to be able to order yourself. That’s a HUGE DIFFERENCE as well.
NO, OTHER CUSTOMER’S TIME as well as the current customer’s time. I had to wait longer to get what I really wanted. You are SO WRONG! Are you thinking about the wasted time and trips for nothing that are being done if the customer doesn’t want the refill? Obviously, you aren’t.
If you like it, TELL YOUR SERVER, because MOST SERVERS DON’T SERVE THAT WAY! The restaurants don’t have their policies set like that, because MOST SERVERS DON’T DO IT and DON’T GET FIRED!
As far as “most normal” well if it was most normal to do this, I’d get this service from EVERY SERVER instead of RARELY, now wouldn’t I?
You like it, but I don’t. Levdrakon doesn’t either. There are SOME people that don’t want refills or want something else.
You know, it occurs to me again just how selfish you are, and how presumptuous you are ABOUT MY FEELINGS! MY DESIRES! MY NEEDS!
God forbid you ever go to Europe. Eating out and a nice sit-down dining place is not RUSH, RUSH, RUSH! Eating out is often the main event that evening. It’s not a race. People go out to eat and plan on relaxing, enjoying a nice leisurely meal and spending time chatting with friends and family.
All that is important to you is whether they are WASTING YOUR TIME, and you want everything AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! Stick with the drive-through at McDonald’s. That’s why they call it FAST FOOD.
As much as you’d like to appoint yourself goddess of eating out, I’m so thankful you aren’t. When I go out to eat at a nice sit-down place it is not a race, and I don’t want everything as fast or as efficient as possible. Servers aren’t robots and I pray they never become the robots they’d be in your world. I’d rather have a human being spill a drink all over my table than have a FAST, FAIR, EFFICIENT robot “serve” me in 30 seconds flat.
That’s probably why Americans are so fat.
If the movie starts in 30 minutes, I’m not going to a sit-down place and demanding FAST, FAST, FASTER! That’s a stupid reason to eat at a decent restaurant, as far as I’m concerned.
You have no right to dictate to diners everywhere how they should be served how YOU LIKE IT.
If the police was involved if I refused to pay my bill, guess what? I would get arrested, so YES, the menu price is the key to what I have to pay. It doesn’t have to be a legal binding document to have PHYSICAL WRITTEN PROOF of what I would or wouldn’t have to pay.
The police would say I wouldn’t have to pay for the refills, because it’s in TYPED LETTERS on the MENU that I would get them for free.
The menu doesn’t have to say the server will do something, because the menu has NOTHING to do with what servers the restaurant manager hires. Are you that stupid or what?
The SERVER IS DECIDING TO GIVE YOU REFILLS WITHOUT ASKING YOU, by ORDERING FOR YOU! The menu has NOTHING to do with what METHOD my server serves me with. The menu states that I am not supposed to be charged for switching soft drinks, because it’s one of the fountain drinks.
You just hate that I am 100% RIGHT and you are 100% PROVEN WRONG!!
Hey Springbot
you seem to be into defintions–you should look up ‘one trick pony’
look around and see all those other posters here, they have lots of interests, nay they have a life. ALL you write about is this issue, something that nobody else even remotely cares about—doesn’t that give you a clue? Step back, breath deep and ask yourself 'why do I care so much about this one issue?".
I do feel sorry, very sorry for your husband. My first wife had severe mental issues and it is becoming very clear that you do as well. I feel bad for you.
Then, you know what, if you aren’t ready for that drink that fast, you tell your server that you aren’t sure yet. I mean seriously, if you really want to take your time, DON’T FREAKIN ORDER YOUR DRINK SO QUICKLY! NO ONE IS MAKING YOU ORDER YOUR DRINK AT THE TIME OF GREETING. You can say you need more time.
Believe it or not, there are plenty people that do that. It’s sad, but they do.
I am NOT dictating how they should serve, because it’s supposed to be where the server ASKS YOU or let’s YOU ask what YOU WANT. The server isn’t supposed to call the shots. WHY do we get menus then if they are right? We get menus because WE as customers make our OWN DECISIONS about WHAT WE WANT! If they want refills without being bothered, they can TELL THEIR SERVER AT THE GREETING and SERVERS SHOULD START ASKING IF CUSTOMERS WANT THAT TYPE OF SERVICE SO THAT WAY THEY CAN MAKE 100% SURE THEY ARE SERVING THE WAY THE CUSTOMERS PARTICULARLY WANT THEIR SERVICE.
This is not just the way I like it, it’s the fact that customers are supposed to be able to be given a chance to place their own order. That’s why the server asks you want you want. That’s why they have a pad and pen ready to listen to what YOU say. That’s why they have a MENU that they give YOU, NOT given to the server to decide. The customer is the person DRINKING the drink, so it makes NO SENSE for the ANYONE ELSE to be in that decision making without permission. Such as if I tell my husband order me a dr. pepper, then I gave him permission to order for me.
Do you understand that “CUSTOMER SERVICE” means CUSTOMER SERVICE, NOT “ASSUMPTION SERVICE” OR “PREDICTION SERVICE” OR “MIND READING SERVICE?” Do you understand that what most people want is not what everyone wants.
See how your views on not wanting your drink fast is different from a lot of other people’s. If someone wants refills without being asked they should tell their server or if someone doesn’t want to be rushed, then TAKE YOUR TIME ORDERING! This should be a DUH!
I forgot to mention the fact that I’ve seen on tv that a man was arrested for not paying the automatic gratuitity that was specifically stated on the menu he was REQUIRED to pay, because he had a large enough party that the MENU stated it was REQUIRED BY LAW to PAY that.
Think about that now…
See, a MENU SURE IS A “LEGAL BINDING DOCUMENT.” That’s PROOF!
This has 100% NOTHING TO DO WITH FREE REFILLS. THERE is NO law AGAINST someone GIVING you SOMETHING for FREE 100%.
What YOU DON’T seem to grasp, unsuprisingly, is THAT I AND THE OTHER folks in THE thread aren’t arguing with you. We’re 100% MAKING FUN OF YOU. You ARE A CLOWN that we are using FOR OUR AMUSEMENT. That’s why I am imitating YOUR RANDOM AND POINTLESS CAPITALIZATION and FREQUENT USE of THE term “100%.”
Now, show us the law that a restaurant must give you two different types of fountain drinks for free. While you’re at it, show us the law that precludes a restaurant for kicking you out on your ear for being such a tremendous douche.
And, no, you haven’t proven anything. Wait, I take that back. The only thing you have proven is batshit crazy *is *entertaining. But, that, of course, is also a matter of opinion. Happy trolling, fucker.
I ran across this mouthwash thing for the first time at Sullivan’s on Valentine’s Day. Large bottle with a dispenser next to the faucet… I washed my hands with it. Sigh… I’m an idiot
You offer $100, but will you 100% PAY? Because I’m willing to be the guinea pig but only if I get to eat somewhere really nice, and THE BILL MIGHT BE MORE THAN a hundred clams. So IF YOU pay $100 plus the BILL 100%, I’ll 100% do IT.
Actually, they probably could have your drink out to you in a shorter period of time, but sometimes they have to drink some water first so they can muster up enough urine to ‘accent’ your drink. Because everyone who serves you also hates you. I’ve never served you, and I hate you, so it can’t be a stretch to believe that.
I want to make a Springs1 voodoo doll and set it up at a miniature restaurant booth and do some sort of ritual where you have to wait extra long for everything and you are forced to watch other patrons get the kind of service that you imagine you and you alone deserve.
