Mayo was the names of the waiters dead son.
Mayo Archibald Hatton.
Pretty insensitive behavior by the OP. -

Exactly. I get it* everywhere I go whenever I order anything. Not that I'm interested, as I'm already taken, but it does happen. Just the other week we were in Mellow Mushroom (which rocks, BTW) and the waitress there couldn't have been more blatant if she's made kissy faces across the room at me.
As for mayo, yeah, the Wendy's Baconator (which is an awesome bacon/cheese burger) comes with it and last night I ate at Buffalo's and my Blackjack Burger (pepperjack cheese FTW!) came with a sachet of mustard AND mayo.
And regarding service, I've only ever had bad service once during my entire time in the US and that was at a Waffle House where the waitress had brought in her three kids to work and was more interested in making sure they didn't kill each other than she was in getting my missus her waffle.

I don't tip because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a tip, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them something a little something extra. But this tipping automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

Registered 15 years agoSo you asked for mayo, you got mayo and the waiter asked you if the mayo is ok.
And you're complaining? -

They don't have any problem with mayonnaise. They just don't like fussy fucking English twats.
So I'm in some chain diner like a Dennys which is next to my hotel in Michigan I'm staying at for work. And I get a pig on top of cow that theyve put in a bun next to a kilo of chips.
Theres ketchup but no mayo so I ask for mayo and its like the room goes all quiet. Then the waiter comes back a bit later and says "That going down a bit easier for you with the mayo is it?" Like he suspects i'm a communist.
Thank god I didnt ask for any Dijon.

Registered 20 years agoImagine an American asking for Worcestershire sauce in a crowded Weatherspoons. Then think of some Brit asking for mayo in a dinner.
Then bow to Owen's experiences of being given bad service in American eateries

Those aren't chips.
Those are chunks of potato, baked for too long.
Probably the wrong kind of potato and fat too.

Registered 15 years agoNow you've all made me crave a Whopper 
Like someone mentioned, I avoid places which charge an automatic 10% tip on everything. These places generally consider themselves to be posh, so the waiters think they're better than you are because they work in such an exclusive environment. Service is guaranteed to be bad there, IMO.
On the other hand, I always tip in cash, because it turns out the norm here is if you pay by CC and write the tip down on the receipt they give you to sign, the owner uses the tip money to cover the income tax first and only what is left, if anything, goes to the staff. A few places I've been to actually write on the menu "all tips go to your waitress" to encourage people to tip more. -

Registered 20 years agoWell, you enjoy your morning then. I'll give up here soon enough and go to sleep for hours and hours. Then sit out in the backgarden in the hammock in my shorts and bare, hairy and most manly chest. Without any socks on, either. -

Registered 20 years agoI was out for a friend's bday party, at a barstuarant which turned out to be the venue which hosted the local pro-am country karaoke singers club. We found ourselves in a rather surreal environment and I'm pretty sure my brain took it the hardest. Which probably exlains the large check. The size of the check, and the amount of booze it listed, can be the only explanation for me leaving our so too easy to parody waitress a 17 dollar fuckin tip on a $83 bill.
Took me fukin leave of absence there, as far as nae being a bampot is concerned. -
