Am I the only one?
I have a huge pet peeve eating out......it is putting my check on the table before I am finished eating or just finished. What happen to" asking if you would like anything else"? If not, THEN bringing your check to you. This seems to be a Fla thing. I never had this happen in NY/NJ. I find this totally rude. At times, I have asked "I didn't know I was leaving yet" they give me a startled look. It happens in every establishment from chains to upscale restaurants. Their motto: eating quickly, move out, leave a huge tip.

We find it just the opposite; excellent service, refills, asking if anything is needed and then when we are finished, poof. They disappear.
I wouldn't be annoyed if they put the check down before I am finished. But that is just me.

I'm with GG. My experience is they disappear near the end of the meal and leave you with nothing to drink and wondering if they will ever come back so you can get your check. It is almost standard service rather than an occasional annoyance anymore.

LB, I don't like that either and have just recently noticed it happening more and more. My BIG pet peeve is when they start clearing the table before everyone is done eating and this seems to be acceptable even at the higher end restaurants. If I'm not finished and believe me, I am not a slow eater, I feel like I either have to shovel my food in quickly or just quit eating.

I agree. In fact, I would RATHER have the check early! That way we are not waiting around for the server to bring the check when we are ready. IF we wanted something they we have found they ask first and if we say no, they leave the check. We than put the payment in the book when done and leave, or if need change, they come and pick it up. Seems less hassle that way to us. I haven't taken it as hurry and get out.

I haven't noticed that problem here in TV restaurants. The servers usually ask if we want something else before giving us the check.

MY pet peeve with the servers is, when you hand them money with the bill and they ask if you want change! Just bring the change and I will leave the appropriate tip. If I have it all together when they pick it up from me, I will tell them "its ok,no change needed" But dont ask me if I want change!!!!
