Motherf*** you Cheddar's.
 

So my gf gets off work earlier and we decide to go out and pick up something to eat. We ended up going to Cheddars. I had not been there in a couple years so I forgot what the atmosphere was like until I got there. It's more like a restaurant "style" cafeteria since you order off the menu and the food is something you would see at Picadilly or Old Country Buffet.

Anyway, I wasn't very pleased with our waiter from the beginning. She seemed too laid back and asked us if we wanted our drinks refilled (that's bad in my opinion, a good waiter brings you a new glass before you're down to the ice without asking). Plus she was pretty slow all around.

We finish up our food and she brings the check so I give her my check card and she comes back and says it was declined. :thinking: I told her to go back and swipe it again because there is no way that card should get declined and she insisted she swiped it twice but got the same results. To get it out of the way I gave her a different card to pay for the meal on. While I'm sitting there I call my bank and make sure the card didn't get shut down for some odd reason and they assured me everything was fine. They verify the amount that the waitress tried to charge and said everything looked good, "it must be a problem with their machine".

So after the waitress comes back with my receipt for the 2nd card I gave her, I told her of the situation because I didn't want her to think I was trying to give her a bad card. She gave me this stupid look and said, "Sorry, no. I tried to swipe it through the machine twice and it came back declined. It's got nothing to do with our machine."

WTF. I fucking blew up on that b1tch! My gf had to calm me down because I was so pissed. I left that b1tch a penny for a tip.

^Added to my list of Never Eating There Again restaurants.

shit happens :dunno:
sounds like shitty service though nonetheless

I've been getting bad luck at restaurants lately too

Hahaha wow, talk about over reacting.

Grow up and get over it. I think everyone has had far shittier restaraunt experiences than that :down: Why didn't you just talk to the manager before being a dick to the girl?

who cares what some waitress thinks, nice tip though :bowrofl:

you totally owned that waitress

If you would have seen her look and her attitude toward me you would have reacted the same way. When you're serving a customer you're supposed to listen to the problem and understand the situation without pointing blame especially since you're expecting a tip.

A waitress spilled a coke in my fucking lap at a CHeddar's. :mad:

she offer to clean if up for you? :hsugh:
