On redundancies:

1. On American Airlines, I was asked if I wanted a Ranch dressing or a vinaegrette dressing

2. Tekka maki roll

Other peeves:

1. Servers wanting to be my friend
2. Frozen butter
3. Cold bread (as in came out of the cooler)
4. 18% gratuity on parties larger than 6 and service stinks
5. Ridiculous price increases -- a fettucine alfredo at over $20 is rather ridiculous when it is an additional $6-$10 to add a protein to it
6.Pretentious servers who mis-pronounce items like pinot grissssss, foy gras, pinot blanck, pansetta, etc
7. Charging for re-fills when it is clear the restaurant is not serving from glass bottles or cans
8. Mid priced restaurants charging extra for extra sauce -- 1 tartar sauce is not enough for 2 piece fish and chips. Ask for extra tartar sauce and without the server informing you there is extra charge you see $0.50 on the bill
