Thread: For the first time in my life I complained about service at a restaurant...

...and I feel kind of bad about it.

My girlfriend took me out for a nice dinner, and the service was god awful, so we complained. They knocked our bill down from $80 to $40 etc. and were really nice about it. However, I feel sort of bad now.

The service was horrible though. No food + drink specials given, no water given (other tables nearby did not have this problem) and the food took FOREVER to arrive. We were there for 2 goddamn hours because of the slow-ass service. After the appetizers, we were told to keep out used cutlery because they "weren't used to serving 3 course meals". It was part of a city wide promotion called Dine Around Town where restaurants provide a 3 course meal for $20 each. The didn't offer us an pepper or condimints etc. (again, other people were offered condiments + pepper) with our food, and when it took over 45 mins between our appy's and our main course to arrive (even though they were ordered at the same time and supposed to be served as a 3 course meal would), they didn't offer any explanation or even both coming by the table to check on us. Then, even though we asked for our dessert to be served when they brought us the main course, the dessert didn't arrive for over 25 mins, again no explanation or even any attention.

So we bitched and got some money back, but I still feel bad about it.

Like I'd eat at any place that would hire you.

I do feel we were justified in complaining, I just feel bad about it. I don't want anyone to get in trouble because of me, regardless of how incompetent they were.

haha quit being sucha pussy. you saved some money, rejoice. I'd prob. try that gig more often if I were you. And if they don't fuk up, maybe throw a precooked bug in there from home or sumthin.

Don't feel bad!! Especially with the kind of service that you got.

It's not like you guys did a dine and dash, then you would have something to feel bad about.

Dude it is the customers right to complain. On my vacation , my wife and I ate at many £100 per head restaurants , there was only 1 of these in which i didn't complain in some way.
So really don't feel bad mate.
