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.

I used to work in a restaurant...well, a pretentious pub in Cambridgeshire, with aspirations to being a restaurant...
Called something like the Rup3rt Brook3, in Cambridgeshire.
The chef was called Dave; he was a big bloke, not prone to bullshitting around. He'd his little heart off at the busy hours, not even taking time off to go outside for a cigarette. No, he smoked in the kitchen.
He defrosted prawns by pouring them into the washing up sink. While we were washing up.
He had spontaneous nosebleeds every so often; one time, the tissue he'd shoved up his nostril to block the blood was so saturated it got soaked; it fell out. Onto some food. He wiped it off and served it. The kitchen was foul, the bins were rarely emptied and often overflowed, covering the floor with a layer of grease and grit
In spite of all this, we were frequently complemented on the food, with people saying it was the best meal they'd ever had.
*It's under new ownership now; the owners when I was waitressing there went bankrupt and fled the country*
