If you want a good tip, be a good server.

If you hate kids, don't work a family friendly restaurant.

Now STFU and try noticing when my glass is empty.

but aiden and brayden love to dip their fingers in the chocolate wonderfall.

Who goes out to eat on Valentine's Day? Do you enjoy being overcharged for being annoyed and crowded?

I agree with Subby. I was a waiter for years, V-Day was a pretty good tip night, but it's nothing compared to Mother's Day.

see? You really do get what you give, subby.

This was my wife's argument. She bought steak; "I also got potatoes. I'll make those."

As I said yesterday, I am making a pulled pork. Nothing says love like pork.

I tip for take out.

The fact that there's a chocolate fountain at Golden Corral is the most horrifying thing I've ever seen on television.

If you weren't already TF'd up, that comment right there would have gotten ya quite the TF sponsorship.

Where would you take me?

WOOOOOHOOOOO, time to use the Red Lobster coupons!

WRONG

Sausage taco says love me. Love me here. Love me now.

I'd love to leave a camera on that thing at our local Golden Corral just to see who dips what into that thing.

Am I the only one that totally skeezed out thinking of all the germs free flowing throughout all that chocolate. I mean, it's Golden Corral, how many of the customers wash their hands, or even their bodies, on a regular basis? I'd be afraid of walking out of their with God knows what kind of sicknesses.

/I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to eat from a farking glorified trough!

Let's do this.

This is a holiday for guys trying to impress women that they are still too insecure with to fart around them. I'd imagine the tipping has to be somewhat decent if the facades are to hold up.

Me? I'll be at home, farting on my GF. Because that's what this day means to me. Romance.

I got out of the restaurant business for good this last fall (YAY IT!!!). This is the first time I am not working (at night) on VD in 5 years. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

For those of you in the trenches tonight - Push that wine, push that surf and turf, push that $85pp prix fixe menu!!! Make some paper tonight BOIIIIIII!!!!!

Go Fast Turn Left: I'd love to leave a camera on that thing at our local Golden Corral just to see who dips what into that thing.

I'd love to run the temperature on that thing up to about 230 so you could check for scalded fingered children as their parents ask why they're crying.

As a parent with two toddlers at home, I have to agree. If I'm paying or arranging for a sitter so I can go out and enjoy a relaxing meal, why the hell do I want to hear YOUR screaming kids? Screw that. Now, I take my kids out to restaurants quite often and ensure that they are well behaved, but you'd have to be a special kind of retarded to figure you can get pre-school aged kids through the restaurant experience on a night as busy as Valentine's Day.

As for tipping- I'll just say that I usually have patience on extremely busy days. And if you're a server, make sure your tables can see you frequently. You can't help it if the kitchen is slammed. But you can still take care of your customers. Most people are understanding of delays as long as you don't piss them off.

As a waiter, I would flirt with the woman at the table I was waiting if the guy wasn't giving her enough attention. It made her happy, and he'd have to tip big to impress her some more. yes, it backfired sometimes, but, if the dude's a douche, she'll find out quick enough. Somedays I miss waiting tables, then I think of the children and laugh hysterically in my office and ask my secretary to get me a Soda from the machine down the hall.

Besides, just because a man's sitting at a nice restaurant on Valentine's Day with an 11 year old doesn't mean he brought his daughter to dinner.

A Steaming Chocolate Wonderfall. If that's not the name for something horrible yet, it should be.

I am curious as to how much "chocolate" there actually is, by comparsion to the amount of paraffin wax.

I just got at it with a silly straw.

nopokerface: I don't hate kids, I just hate your kids.

If I owned a restaurant, I'd make VDay night a Kids Free Zone for my place. No one under the age of 18 allowed in, and I will be carding everyone. Being my establishment, I reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. Tonight, it's just those under 18.

nopokerface: It's a stupid day to go out. Bunch of poseurs will be out, and I hate crowds.

That's why you get one of those expensive suites at a fancy hotel. The ones with a kitchen and a 2 person jacuzzi.

So you can cook a nice dinner and then relax when your done. And you won't have to wear pants the whole time.

AbbeySomeone: We had a meal ruined by 4 little bastards under the age of 5 crawling under our table and behaving badly while their Subaru driving mothers sipped their naughty little cocktails. Yes, we made a loud and hasty exit and made sure they knew why we were leaving.
Oh well, some people just don't like children. You can't expect them to just sit still.
FFFfarkkkk You!

Acting up in public is unacceptable.
/ my brother and i were always close to perfectly behaved, to the point where my mother was routinely complimented
// Seriously, put the brats on a leash and muzzle them
/// if my dogs acted like the way people let their kids behave, i would leave immediately in shame.

i'm fairly certain the gloden corral people got the idea from german porn.

fairly certain.

I've stayed in an EconoLodge that had a 2 person jacuzzi.

There are a surprising number of Golden Corral chocolate fountain videos on YouTube.

I noticed the sign to not put your hands in it. I wonder how many rugrats pulled their finger from their nose and stuck it in the chocolate just to get a quick Salty Sweet.

Makes sense. That's how they came up with the idea of a pile of...oh I can't go there.
