I once ate in a seafood restaurant in Seattle and ended up with the salad, the entree AND the dessert on the table at the same time before I finished the salad. Later after I calmed down I asked for the manager, he apologized and comped the meal. Honestly I did not go there for a comped meal only a nice stressless seafood meal. Oh yes and there was no tip for the stupid waitress regardless what the guilt-ridden FTers say, what waiter.com describes, or tip.com recommends.
