Do you complain?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Do you complain?
Do you really not see a difference between
1) respecting servers and sommeliers as having valid opinions about the food that they serve night after night, especially, in nicer restaurants, having been educated on that food by the chefs,
and
2) believing that the only opinion of value is the one that dictates that most food must be served with ranch dressing, and anyone who questions that belief is outside their place, even if their place is to recommend what is best with regard to food and wine?
Even if you reject the opinion of the server and request something different, it is petty to completely dismiss the fact that his or her opinion may be of value.
I would GLADLY, in the most dire straights of brokenness, and in the most polite way possible, tell this lady to take her HARD EARNED MONEY to another fine, ranch soaked establishment. Not every customer is right, not every customer is desirable, or beneficial to a business.
Ok, I'm going to edit my post with the link just in case it violated TOS. I don't think it did, because there was no identifying information, but still.
I'll post this instead:
This is what servers are like when Sparks1 walks in to their restaurant:

But I guess that's ok--we can switch to Plan B and bring our own bottle, I guess?
MOAR RANCH!

(This thread is fantastical.)
(Great minds)
I cook it myself. And then I tip myself a full 25%. And then I pour out five servings of ranch dressing for husband because he loves sauce, too.
Edit: maybe I should open a restaurant??!?!?!!
Anyway, my point is, I don't have ONE picture of myself and NEVER will post one, no matter if I did this hobby or not, I still would not have facebook or instagram. I could just see someone saying you gained 4 pounds or some shit like that. I can't take that. It HURTS when people say things about your weight, because weight is hard to lose. It would be easy if you wouldn't get hungry, you could just say you wouldn't eat, but it's not like that. It's really hard.

Just, wow.
You're a troll. This is a pregnancy board. You don't ever want children. Go away now.

Second of all, most restaurants give that stuff for *FREE* so WHO would be NUTS to *PAY* for ranch when it's freaking FREE?
Thirdly, why go through the trouble and embarrassment of bringing your own when you don't have to?
SO NO, the problem is not solved. Also, you can't get restaurant ranches at the store in most cases. I don't know any store that sells Chili's ranch or Red Lobster's tartar sauce or Red Lobster's ranch, do you?
Also, you can be skinny & still have a damned heart attack after eating out way too often. You might want to look into your BP & cholesterol @springs1. Might explain why you are so angry.
Food for thought. :-?
Yes, I absolutely meant that pun. You can dip me in ranch & call me Shirley.

I also have control issues with my weight due to most likely getting made fun of in school even though I was never fat, still got made fun of. People picked on me about anything like calling me a nerd, a goodie goodie - I made perfect attendance some years and made good grades in general as well as didn't get detentions, etc.
So I off and on since a teenager watched my weight. I never let myself get fat. I always try to eat less when I see I gain a pound or two or three. I weight myself everyday and have been doing that since I was around 15yrs old or so.
It's not about self esteem, because I feel I look good(not beautiful, but at least pretty or even sexy at times), it's about NOT GETTING FAT and BEING MADE FUN OF! At my high school reunion in a couple of years, I don't want them to say "Springs1 got fat", because I want them to say "Springs1 looks just about the same and looks good." THAT is what I want them to say. I also would not like the way I would look if I were to be fat. It's embarrassing as well. I don't EVER want to get fat.

Also, @springs1 re: bring your own ranch dressing bottle: if you bring your own then a) the taste is uniform all the time as you like it b) nothing is ever free at a restaurant. You always pay for it somewhere. C) you can always dump as much of that shit on there as you want.

It all has to do with how many calories you eat in a day to lose weight. Didn't anyone ever teach you that?
Back in some of my college time(18yrs old to 21yrs old), used to go 4 days with a huge dieting eating nothing but around 300-400 calories a day for each day 4 days a week to splurge the other 3 days. I did that from 1995-1997. It worked. I got to binge eat, not throw up(only twice I overate so much I got sick, but as I said, this was when I was really YOUNGER(I am 36yrs old now). I have NEVER did the make yourself throw up thing. I'd rather be fat than throw up. Throwing up is one of the worse feelings in this world.
As I said, I got out of it around 1998 the fall going back to college after sitting out for the spring and summer, then beginning of 1999 I was 106lbs. Didn't do so well with the major I chose, so I had to withdraw, sat out for a year and half, went to another school, got an associates degree. During the time I sat out, got back to 93lbs because I was on my feet all day at the donut shop/diner and I cut down my portions like when I was 106lbs, I was eating 3 poptarts for breakfast, then I slowly cut down to 2, then to one. Things like that I cut my portion sizes down. Then when I went back to school again, I ate just breakfast and lunch, but a normal sized breakfast like I said ONE poptart or waffle. Then a normal sized lunch. No dinner. That's why I was less weight. After I got married, I started back up again with the dieting, but did it some days here or there during the week. At times, I have had my blood sugar go too low to where I saw black. I had to eat sugar to get back to feeling right. In 2009, I had some constipation issues from switching bc pills(due to insurance) since that's the only thing that changed so that to me, was the cause, that's how I got to 98lbs. I try to stick with that number. Sure sometimes I have gotten to 101lbs once in a while, but I always get back. Every week it's knowing I have to get back to my weight so I won't be fat and so I can fit my clothes. I also don't want to be said I got fat either. I want to look good.
Saturday splurge day. One or two days a week, eat less than 1,000
calories. I do this so I can get off the weight I gained over the
weekend. It works. You catch the weight at 2-3 pounds before you gain
anymore. Once you get off the diet track and skip, you may not get
back. The biggest I have ever gotten was 106lbs for a brief time in 1999
due to I was not dieting at all and I was at the dorm studying sitting a
lot(in class and studying). I am ONLY 5 feet ZERO inches tall, so that
is a HUGE reason why I am the weight I am too. I am short.

Please no one actually take this dieting advice. Yo yo dieting never works. Weight comes back, you have to lose it again, repeat process. Hence the name. Eating deep fries food and unhealthy stuff then starving yourself is NOT healthy. There's too much in this post to even touch on it at all. I just hope nobody reads this and actually thinks it's good advice. Horrible.
This subject is not about pregnancy just because the board is about it.
