| - I generally like zipps, but I had this one terrible experience with a waitress at this location, which pretty much defines my experience. I hope she reads this.
I was here after work getting drinks with three friends. (four of us total). I was going to cover the bill for myself and one of my friends, and the two other friends were going to pay their own.
When it was time to go, the waitress came to bring our check. I gave her three cards and said, "I'm paying his and my bill. Can you put 50% on this card, 25% on this card, and 25% on this card?"
She gives me a puzzled look, looks at the cards for a moment, nods like she has it figured out and says, "okay". Then runs off somewhere.
After a couple minutes she comes back to me totally steaming. I can't remember her exact words but they were something like "You can't give me such a complicated order. You need to write down the total for each of you, I can't do this." In her shaky, trying-to-keep-it-under-control voice.
"Sure, no problem," I say. I was annoyed that she didn't just say so up front, but I really wasn't angry at this point.
I did get angry, however, when she came over a second time to give me another lecture about how you're supposed to split the bill. This time, more angry, she says "It's not funny to try and confuse us, we're not rocket scientists like you guys (we were dressed in button up shirts and ties), we sling burgers and fries, its not part of our job to do these kinds of math problems. Next time you ask someone to split a check, you need to write down the amounts, because no waitress is going to do this for you."
My response again, "alright, I understand. It's no big deal, I wrote the amounts for you." She leaves.
COMES BACK A 3RD TIME. "Listen, I'm sorry if I got angry, but you really need to know this is not okay. You can't give a waitress this kind of complicated problem. We sling burgers and fries all day, we're not good at math (she thought the burger and fry thing was clever enough to repeat.)"
I'm not one for conflict, but I finally had to interrupt her with something like "ALRIGHT. I GET IT. YOU DON'T LIKE MATH. PLEASE STOP TELLING ME ABOUT THIS AND MOVE ON"
TL:DR; Dumb waitress can't do math and got really angry at me when I asked her to split the check in a way I thought was clear and simple.
My friends who are smarter than me suggested I left an equation on the tip line.. I really wish I would have.
