Restaurants and patrons: What's bugging you?

I put out the call on Facebook recently: What annoys you about your dining experiences? And the replies were swift. ("I hate that waitstaff and bar staff always refer to everyone as guys — including women…")

Many of my Facebook friends are in the restaurant business. So I asked them, what annoys you about customers? The floodgates opened. ("It seems like everyone is an expert on how to run a restaurant.")

Can't we all just get along?
