Well, I'd had a couple drinks, and I'm a wicked lightweight these days, so possibly she wasn't the worst waitress ever, but get this:
I ask for barbeque ribs with no cornbread, fries instead. She hems and haws "Well, if you want to substitute fries it's not going to be very many..." leaving it up to me to figure out what to do. A good waitress would have said, "Would you like a side of fries?" not leave me hanging in limbo. Then, after I ordered no cornbread and Eor ordered no bun for his hamburger, she turns to go and says, "I'll bring you some bread." "NO bread," I said. Eor's hamburger, when it arrived, was on a bun. But also, as she's putting our dinner down, I'm like "Oh, weren't there some mussels?" We had ordered an appetizer and she's completely forgotten it. Later we got the mussels, sort of as desert, and there's a slice of bread across the top. Of course she didn't really notice that until I pulled it off and threw it at her put it on one of the plates she was taking away. THEN she noticed that there was a hamburger bun sitting on Eor's plate.
She was mainly not very good at her job, though I had the distinct impression that she was not too bright as well.
Brought a rib dish without a bone plate or a spare napkin
When she finally did bring the bowl of mussels out, she set it between us and didn't give us plates to serve ourselves onto or anything for the shells. So we were both kind of hunched over the serving plate, eating over it, tossing the empty shells into a plastic serving lid.
This place was not high end, but certainly not a curry house take-away. So staff are supposed to be paying attention, or at least reasonably conscious.
