This was from a bit ago. The friends and I decided we were going to trivia at Applebee's by mine and B's work. It's half off appetizers then, so if anyone ate before then, they could still get snack food.
One friend of mine won't eat after taking her medicine, and she had to take it before trivia. So while the rest of us ordered, she got water. That started bad things..
Our waitress was hateful after K said she would like a water please, and wouldn't be ordering food. "You have to order."
Me to K: "It's alright. If you get hungry, you can have some of my cheese sticks or pasta. I'm sure we've ordered more than enough to cover you not ordering anything."
The waitress gave me a look of 'I'm telling on you.' but finished the order. I spent 15.50 on my own food, not to mention the drink from the bar that was about 4. My friend Mike (Also called Bean :P ) ordered Nachos when he joined us about 9, after the rest of us had eaten and were playing.
By this time, we're all out of drinks (Except Bean). Que B (Barb) getting out of the round booth to see if she could locate and ask our waitress nicely for refills. Our waitress is talking to another co-worker about how "The table I'm waiting on doesn't follow the rules, and I think that medical bull that one glasses girl spouted is bs. She can order food, who can't order after a certain time?"
Barbie didn't bother asking for drinks. She instead turned and went to the manager. By now, it's 9:30 and Bean has found the waitress to ask if the nachos were still in back or possibly not put in.
The waitress told him "To sit his illegal ass back down and I'll bring your food when I'm good and ready."
Barb has rejoined the table, Bean looks pissed and I've heard it all (being in the center is a joy somedays >.<)
I got out of the booth and went to find the manager. I told him that our service was slacked since we apparently didn't matter to his waitress, and while we could handle SOME rude behavior by late food or drinks, waiting HALF an hour for nachos and then being told to sit down and we'd get the food when SHE was ready, was unacceptable. I also explained K not ordering wasn't in direct violation of their rules, they had to accomodate for allergies and medical reasons all the time, and K not ordering was no different.
He looked at me and told me I was a child. So, I took his name and the waitresses name, and after we paid to leave, called and got the information on HIS higher up.
Now neither the waitress nor manager works there, and we've not had a problem since. And yes, though we did pay for the food that night, we WERE reimbursed for it with either the money back on our credit cards, OR gift cards for the full amount that the 3 cash payers had paid. (This is why I've kept the reciepts and HAPPILY faxed them.)

I can be so sweet the whole time I'm stating how pissed I am.
