You eat every single meal at a restaurant?
That's insane.

Please, slide me a few examples. And what do you do when a mistake is made?

You know what would be awesome? If Springs went to eat at that restaurant in Phx? with the nutbar owners from Chef Ramseys show? I would pay to see that...

Judging by the way he's conducting himself in this thread I would say just looking at him the wrong way would be considered a mistake and an apology would be required.

Springs I never realized how big of a nutcase internet celebrity you were. Typing your name in Google brings up "identity" "ranch" "ranch dressing" and "tipping" as suggested searches.

yeah, the Springs1 thing is pretty boring now. Pretty sure we have her opinion documented at this point.
I didn't even really bother to carefully read that egregious wall of text threatening to rape my eyes a few posts up. I did notice some blither blather about a car wash at the end though which suggests to me the act is getting desperate.

30. Servers that don't give you the amount of condiments you asked for. In that picture below, the ranch should be FILLED THE VERY TOP as ORDERED! A side is a side, not 1/4 of a side. The container is a side is what the customer is ordering.

ETA: Every other post that Springs wrote fits quite neatly into her craziness.

It was about how all restaurant food is better than home cooked meal. I don't know how Springs1 grew up but I can guarantee anything made by my mom is more delicious than anything from Chili's.
Must be all the LAAAARRDDDD.>>!!

Listening to Springs1 talk about her service at restaurants reminds me of when I used to have a residential pool route. I would occasionally get a new customer that had absolutely unreasonable expectations of what the pool service should include. I remember get chewed out by a customer for over a half hour because when I finished servicing the pool she came out and found a leaf that I had missed. She actually said a few things very similar to Springs1 during her rant. "You work for my money, so you're not done until I say you're done!" Needless to say that was her last day as my customer.
The point is, like others have suggested, I think that servers can get a good read on you within the first couple of minutes of conversation. By that time they already know that you're going to be unreasonable, demanding, and probably aren't going to tip very well. Your subsequent service reflects that. When I had my own business I had the option of just cutting customers loose when they were unreasonable, but servers don't. I suspect if they did you wouldn't be able to eat at any restaurant within a 100 miles of your house.

I can't help but wonder if springs1 is not a person but a movment. There have to be at least a few people who have signed up in various places under that user name to troll, and continue the legend.

Rather go to a place that has good service, could careless about the looks of the server, as long as they don't stink bad they are cool in my books.

Has anyone ever told Springs1 that she is in error? She obviously eats out enough to realize that nobody is perfect, that not everybody is going to do a perfect job all of the time. So her expecting perfection each time makes her in error. Nobody else.

You know the servers you request hate that you request them. In my time as a waiter, there were definitely regulars that were pains in the ass, but you give them good service because it's your job and than you regret it because they request you all the time.

There's been a few times when I've asked guests not to return. But fussy customers is something I'll always have to deal with in this industry, to be removed or to have me ask you to not return means thst person was doing something extra ######y.
Springs1,have you ever been banned from a restaurant?
