Crap meals out
I'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.

TGI Fridays in Reading
It was somebody's birthday. The worst of the food was the 'battered prawns' that were tiny flecks of flesh in soggy batter chunks. A waitress spilled a drink over one of our table and then just wondered off. When the bill came it included drinks we hadn't ordered. When we complained they presented a new bill with some of the disputed drinks removed but a 20% service change added - on a £200 bill. So we didn't pay that or leave a tip, and I've never been back.
The annoying spiel that the waitresses have to recite and their infantile costumes are the icing on the cake.
