       If no one at your restaurant, from the line cook all the way to the hands that bring this to the table, have the authority or aptitude to reject a broken hollandaise, maybe don’t charge $24 for a breakfast plate.When people say “half of all restaurants fail in the first year”, I maintain that this is because people are bad at running more than half of all restaurants. End rant. (-:

       @magicalthinking Unfortunately, yes. It's really not the kids working there that are the problem, it's the lack of adult supervision. We paid, tipped, and simply won't return.

       @sean Next time, don't tip. or tip the minimum 10%.What good is a waiter that gets shitty food from the kitchen and drops it on the table?

       @magicalthinking Look, I think tipping is a really stupid thing we do as a society, but it is part of the social contract when going to a restaurant. I wish we collectively didn't do it at all, but we do.

       @sean I'm a bastard so when they put a "kitchen fee" for the poor kitchen workers on the tab, I deduct it from the tip. If I get a shitty table in an empty restaurant, it comes out of the tip. I know how the waiters talk amongst themselves, they aren't my friends, and I can get it to go.
