When ordering breakfast, ham and eggs , the toast is always cold and the butter is sitting on ice. Sorry I just like warm toast.

I may be alone in this but I can't stand it when the waiter/waitress says, "How's everything tasting?" This seems to be a relatively new thing or maybe only asked here in Florida. It just really annoys me. It sounds so low class to me for some reason. There are other aspects of dining out like clean flatware or needing a drink refill, etc. I'd prefer they as if everything is alright or if I need anything else. I never mention that it annoys me, but it does. I also agree that some restaurants are too cold for my liking.

Tip: If your butter is in a little wrapped foil package, Slip it under your leg (thigh), and it will soften. (maybe put it in a napkin, just in case it slips out)

I agree with Graciegirl regarding frozen or pre made/packaged food but also bad/rude service.

Last night we ate at Arnold Palmers. There were 9 of us. The male waiter addressed each one of us as "young lady" and "young man".
I also don't like the of the word we, as in, "Would we like to have dessert?" He did that too.
I may be a patron but please don't patronize me.
Does anyone like it when someone calls you a young lady or a young man? I don't mind hon, honey, sweetie or anything like that from a waitress or sir, mister, bud from a waiter.

I hate being called young lady or girl. I usually reply that I worked hard to get to my age, TYVM. When asked what we girls want, I just say I got rid of my dolls a long time ago. Hon, sweetie, etc., doesn't bother me in the least. The server usually is trying to be friendly and, if seriously Southern, I take it as part of their speech patterns.

When the air conditioning is on in the evening, I think it would be warmer outside rather than where I am sitting

^^^^This. Eat at home more often if you don't like "you guys", use of the word "we", butter too cold, not enough bread, cold bread, split checks, bad service after asking for split checks, etc., etc., etc.; problem solved.

Wow; I thought The Villages was Florida's Friendliest Hometown.
