I would have reacted the same way. The Server is not an invited part of your party! I've never been to Outback and this gives me a goof reason for not going!

Oh I must have misunderstood. It seems like in all of the posts about Outback this is a normal occurance. Maybe I will try them after all. But if the server decides to make themselves comfy how do you let them know politely that you don't appreciate them joining you?

My attitude on that would be that when we go to a restaurant, we are "renting" that space for a certain period of time. We are occupying that space, and no one has a right to enter that space, without our permission, during the time of our occupancy. How would you handle it if someone who you did not know walked into your house without your permission? How about if someone who you did not know started touching you? At the very least, we would say "Excuse me!?!?!" At the most we would say "You are trespassing and you must GTFON before I call the police!" How you handle it between those two extremes depends on your personality and how badly you feel invaded I suppose. Does that seem fair? |

I won't be complaining if she was a looker :D
I recall some of the waitresses at Hooters does that all the time... it seems so.... personable :cool: I'd like to help them take a break from all that walkin' in those tight outfits :p |
I'm not an Outback fan. I think a server has to have a certain personality to sit at your table and avoid awkwardness. When a server sits at my table, my initial reaction is surprise. But if they have the right attitude, I think it can be a really charming way to break down the traditional roles of client and waitron. I almost always like it.

If it is someplace we frequent on a regular basis we don’t mind and sometimes encourage our server if they are not busy. I would not expect this to happen at Bones (http://www.bonesrestaurant.com/) nor The Williamsburg Inn® Regency Room (http://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/...ncyDiningRoom/).

Yes, well, HOOTERS is an entirely different deal altogether......but then did anyone here see "9 to 5" with DOLLY PARTON, JANE FONDA, LILY TOMLIN and DABNEY COLEMAN? One of the best lines in the movie was when JANE FONDA described her boss, DABNEY COLEMAN as a "Sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot" There is such a thing as sexual harrassment, even at HOOTERS! (Just make sure your wives or girlfriends aren't around!)
Beer is cold though !!!! |

I was on a bussiness trip, and was eating at the outback for the very first time. The waiter sat on my coat that was on the chair. (I was in a booth):td:
I went into a small frenzy asking what was he doing. He just looked stuned as I told him to get up, and get the manager. I then in a calm manner told the manager how I didn't want the help sitting at my table or on my coat.

There's one thing about powerlifter's story that makes me feel he was rather justified.
If you can't figure it out from my bolding... My grandpa had his first heart attack when he was 56. The fourth one killed him. |
