I'm thinking that all of the cooking and restaurant shows are causing people to set their standards a bit too high. For the most part the restaurants here are fast food and the servers are any warm body that can drag a plate to the table. I think for the most part they are doing the best they can with what they have.

However, I personally would cringe when called "sweetie" or "honey". (Could be because whenever I use those terms I'm being sarcastic.) Now, I've gotten over it.

The other diners are something else. I am so sick of people putting their ugly, badly dressed babies on the table. The last time this happened was in a dog zone and they had the gall to question the dog being there. Hellooo, the dog was more attractive, better dressed and had documented lineage. Meanwhile, they have this child's butt right on the table.

I'm pretty much okay with everyone else's peeves. Loud groups just appear to be having fun. Waiters messing up, hey I admit to being the world's worst waitress while in school-figure it's payback-LOL.
