Appetizers that don't show up before your food

[Quicksilvre]

I just eat, dude. Not even #1 would bother me; I've never had a situation where I've had issues with finishing a steak before it got cold; I don't expect a mere salad to change that. I'd just eat the two of them simultaneously.

I don't see the point in tipping less, unless you know that the tips get shared between the whole staff (cooks included). No point in punishing the server.

Have to disagree. It's the server's fault. He/she is responsible for the timing of the food. They should know not to put the steak orders through too early. Very standard.

Well, fine. I still don't think it's all that big of a deal--if you're worried about the steak getting cold, eat that first.

Man, we are the luckiest people in the world. Not only do we have an abundance of food, we get to be picky about the order it comes in. I think sending it back is wasteful.

I can't believe people saying "just eat your food"

[censored] that. what if they bring out a sundae and then a steak and then salad? at what point are you idiots drawing the line?

this really pisses me off at places like chilis/fridays/etc. and is the main reason i don't go there any more. when people order those greasy combo platters of buffalo nuggets and mozz. sticks, they want that [censored] pronto, not at the same time as their meal.

for me though, unless the meal comes out shockingly fast, i've already complained about the lack of apps. by the time it comes to this.

If getting my salad at the same time as my steak bothered me that much (it doesn't), I can't imagine I'd let 20 minutes go by without asking the waiter where my salad was.

Situation 3:

You are at a middle eastern cafe by yourself. You go up to the counter and order baba ganoush and pita as an appetizer, and a chicken shwarma. After sitting at your table for fifteen minutes, the baba ganoush and shwarma arrive together.


What do you do?

not saying anything here is kind of like letting the terrorists win.
