Restaraunt Pet Hates

From the Guardian the list that defines them all  HERE - these are not in the order you might experience them here in Australia - or even applicable, but certainly contains my pet restaurant hates - specially websites and booked tables,  its the reason its so easy to take your custom elsewhere - a good restaurant you were looking forward to can so easily turn to a nightmare if it includes any of the following:

Tipping and double tipping

No reservations

Waiters who act like your best pal

Wineglass-filling fascism

Restaurant websites

A nice chat with the chef

'High concept'

Tasting menus of more than 12 courses

'That table is booked'

77%* of restaurants outside major cities

'The table is yours for a two-hour timeslot' Aka table-turning. No, ta. Ta-ta.
