I’m at the Ramada Inn in Des Moines, Iowa and as usual, they don’t have the best wireless in the world but they happen to have something that my previous hotel didn’t, A BAR! I would say having a seat in a bar (with access to a power outlet) within range of the complementary wireless is better than having hard core wireless availability. I thoroughly enjoy being able to eat my food, drink my beer, and hack on my laptop all at the same time. This Ramada gets a B. I’d give it a higher score since I like the room and all but they don’t have the world’s greatest wireless and the bartender is a bitch. So much so I have to explain my frustration. You can skip the rest if you like.
She shrugged like a dumbass to me when I asked permission to use a power outlet. She then completely ignored me when I sat down so I had to get up and go ask her for a beer since I’m not “at the bar”. She copped an attitude when I did manage asking for the beer. She apparently has two guy friends at the bar she prefers talking to. Sorry I had to but in. I took the beer back to my table and had to get back up 10 minutes later to go ask for a menu since she obviously isn’t coming to replenish my beer. RIGHT after she gave me my beer and I turned around to go back to my table she said “I’ll be right with you sir” so I said “awesome” with a happy note which she immediately retorted with “I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking to him” looking at her other buddy that just walked up to the bar. Needless to say I’ve been sitting here w/my menu lying on the table waiting for her to come take my order. This bitch gets no tip unless there is a serious change of attitude. Damn I hate it when I go out to be served and get hated on. *Note: I’m using my attitude changer skills on ‘er by saying things like “thank you very much” and so on. I bet by the time I leave she isn’t so mean to me.. That however doesn’t mean she gets a tip. she’s got a lot of back peddling to do.*
I’m about to leave now and I’m fighting every urge of mine to leave a tip. I’m usualy a realy good tipper. It almost hurts to not leave a tip even though she was a total pain in my ass.
Complain to the managment. Seriously. Give her a wake up call by filing a complaint with the management. I have had tons of stupid waitresses like that. I had one a few months ago that kept ignoring me and talking to her guy friend so I full on grabbed her ass hard when she walked by and told her I wanted a refill. She jumped and said “don’t ever touch me” and I told her I wouldn’t have to if she would pay the fuck attention to her customers but until then every time I needed something from her I was going to grab her ass. She started paying attention.
I had a simular experience at a truck stop and Dawn was with me too, that made my day. Anyway, I had to track down the waitress to get our menus, again to get her to take our orders. But after she gave us our food… heh heh, I said to Dawn watch this… The bitch waitress was busy talking to her buddy not paying any attention to anybody. So, I got her attention and then made up all kinds of excuses for her to be running from the table to the kitchen. first I needed a new fork, then I needed some ketchup, then salt or something, I kept her moving, every time she came back I had something for her to do.
GAWD! What fun!

Both of those are brilliant! And I almost thought I was going to get hated on for being pissed at a bitchy waitress.!. My only retort was not leaving a tip. I think I will be more creative next time. I love both of your responses. Now I only wish I had been more of an ass in return for the sub shitty service.

LOL…love it! Hope you didn’t leave a tip…or pocket change at the very least to make a point.
The level of tip is definitely my method of displaying my satisfaction or lack thereof for sure!
A friend of mine was so frustrated by the slow, inattentive service in a restaurant one time he got up, wandered over to the serving area, picked up 2 pots of coffee and proceeded to make the rounds at all the tables offering coffee refills etc. to all the other customers. It soon got the message across! LOL
