Crap meals outI'd chosen to take my in-laws to one of my favourite restaurants, only to discover it had changed hands the week before. We waited half an hour to get menus. The waitress broke the cork in the wine we ordered. She got our order wrong. The food was luke-warm, mine was overcooked, the rest was undercooked. After waiting another 40 minutes for the last course, we were told that we couldn't have any as the chef had "forgotten to de-frost the puddings".
Let's just say they didn't get a tip. Tell us of your crap meals out.

French? Anyone?Sorry, obligatory crap French service story here. Was in Paris, in summer, all the nice people have left because of the heat. Walk into a restaurant with family, it's empty, lone waiter is counting change ala Scrooge from a Christmas carol. Plonks down menus, food arrives, not bad, etc. Finish main course, waiter arrives plonks down bill. "Errm, excuse me? Is there any chance of dessert please?" The look of contempt on the man's face was palpable. "Dessert?!" He asked as if we'd just ordered the testicles of a 12 year old boy. Storms off, plonks dessert menus down. Gah, next day, went to the local chinese restaurant, and since my mum and aunt speak fluent mandarin, had a lovely meal.
