It just means that I agree with the "quoted post" that I'm responding to.

I agree with everyone that said ...
too dim lighting, hard to read menus, music too loud, sticky tables, dirty seats and sticky menus, obnoxious children, waiters that never return or return with only half the things you asked for, waiting forever to get the check, waiters that ask 'do you want change'? (this is just another way of asking for a tip....as if I wouldn't tip them).
I love going out in the evening and having a pleasant dinner where I can have an enjoyable conversation with my friends, so my worst pet peeve is waiting forever for a table, then getting seated right where the kitchen door or work station is. It is loud and busy with people coming and going constantly. Also, right in front of the bathroom door is annoying. If you complain about the seat you got, they say...'would you like to put your name back on the list and wait for another table'? Oh, and sometimes I ask not to be seated there but often that request is ignored.

Before you blast me, I ALWAYS tip 17-20%, and more if they are really good at their job. Bad food is NOT the waiters fault, but lack of good service is.
I am amazed at the people that keep saying ...'they work so hard for only minimum wage' and you don't even mention the tips they make (I wonder how much tax they actually pay on their tips). I have friends whose children make $150-$200+ per night in tips. Add that to minimum wage and you end up with a pretty darn good salary.

The ladies that stand on their feet all day at the grocery check out line, the fast food people, and people at retail stores all make minimum wage, and they don't get tipped. When you think about it, it isn't really fair, but I suppose they selected those jobs knowing that. Guess we can't tip the entire population!
Last, if service is horrible, I will ask for the manager and complain to them, but if service is really good, I always ask for the manager and tell them how wonderful the service was and mention my waiters name to the manager.
Bon Appetit!!!

Kcrazorbackfan, I'm so glad you explained what "^^^^ this" means.
I thought it meant you were swearing at the guy who wrote the previous post.

I wonder if posting it from a Windows-based program and Bare trying to view it on her iPad could be the problem. I frequently get emailed cartoons from my friend's Apple-based operating system, phone or iPad, that won't open on my windows laptop.

I was able to view your picture of Lady and the Tramp that you posted.

I can't view it on my iPad or laptop. But I'm too nerdy about computers to try to figure it out.

And now back to the topic of Pet Peeves about Restaurants.

(By the way, when we return to The Bubble after being up north, I'm always amazed by the number of restaurants that are available to us by golf cart!)
