We all have something. That thing that just irritates you to no end when you go out to eat. If you’ve worked in food service, you know all the ridiculous things that can happen behind the scenes.

Even the best of restaurant workers make mistakes during busy service, but as a diner, certain things are going to drive you crazy.
