what is the worst restaurant service you ever experience?

Mine was very similiar to yours.....my granddaughter, my son and I went to a restaurant...she is only four and was very hungry....we got seated then two other tables got seated after us.....well the waitress went to the other tables first....and then it took forever for us to get our food.....we almost walked out...my son let them know when he paid the bill that we were not happy.....I think it's rude to wait on someone that has been seated after another table....and if they knew they were behind in cooking our order they should have let us know....and compensated us with a dessert or something!

Well clorissa I have to tell you that my bad experience put me off going back to this restaurant for a long time. There were four of us sitting down to order a nice meal and we all ordered soup. Well as the waiter was bringing the soup he sort of fell over clutching his heart (not to mention spilling boiling soup on himself) and you know we never did get served that night, what with all the tooing and frooing and ambulances. Never a thought for us still waiting for our soup, and he didn't even die you know dear.

I think there is a lot of good storys out there for this discussion. Ive had quite a few fairly interesting visits to the restaurents, both positive and negative. I think my worst story is from a restaurant when i was in Plzen, Czeck Republic, we where a group of aproximately 10people, who where going out for the dinner, we found a restuarant fairly close to the hotel we staying at. We where shown to the tables in the basement so there was room to put us all at the same table, they took our orders for drinks and then once the drinks was served they took orders for starters and main course, just like a regular restaurant, so we where pleased. But then the trouble started. We had to wait for about 40minutes to get our starter! (I had ordered a shrimp cocktail salad) Hey its a starter, they normally dont take longer than 10minutes or so to finish and server for your customers. Then we got the starters which wasnt amazing at all either. After that we waited also like 1hr on our main course, which neither was things you normally would wait that long to get served. During the meals they didnt check up for drinks or anything either, so we where really pissed off and left no tips what so ever when we left the restaurant, including it in our mind never to go there again. - We found out afterwards they had a huge party on the first floor which they where serving at the same time, but for the sake of hungry people, if you know you cant serve them in standard time you should close any other tables you have. But we wherent told anything at all during the time we where waiting.
