The Horror Stories These Customers Experienced Include:

You can check out, but you can never leave

I was once locked in an Italian restaurant in Amsterdam after trying to leave, about 50 minutes after ordering a pizza. About 10 people came in after us, ordered, and were served, while we waited and waited and waited.
Eventually I decided that I'd had enough and made a move to leave. At that moment a crazy old Italian woman charged at me, blocking the path to the door, which she then locked. She began to scream at me, about two inches from my face. The other diners were horrified.
Three of her big ass sons then appeared from the kitchen. All very menacing. She threatened to call the police, which I insisted that she did. She didn't, instead choosing to berate me with a series of progressively aggressive, um, cultural statements.
I dug my heels in, refused to pay for the pizza that we'd never been given, and after about 15 minutes made a firm move back towards the door, which I managed to unlock. We were free.
Definitely the worst outcome to a bad case of the munchies that I've ever had…

This is creepier than any horror movie you've ever seen

I was eating with a female friend at a reasonably nice restaurant. Not posh, but expensive. Before we were seated we grabbed a drink at the bar, whilst there she signed up to some sort of newsletter at the bar. To be fair it was stuff like this that made me apprehensive to call the place “posh”.
Anyways, we sit down and the girl I'm with gets a text telling her how beautiful she looks. She ignores it and another one comes through asking her what she's doing later. She hasn't got a clue who it is and ignores it.
We're finishing up our meal and a 3rd text comes through saying she shouldn't be with a guy like me and asking if she wanted dessert with a “real man”
Now it's clear someone in the restaurant has her number and we clocked that she had put it down on the application form for the newsletter. Considering the newsletters went into a box behind the bar it was a member of staff. After getting the manager down and him calling the number and pegging what member of staff it was it turned out one of the waiters had taken her number and address off this form, written it in his phone and had spent the evening taking pictures of her from behind the bar. The police ended up involved.

Worst cockroach story of all time

I was eating at a bar/restaurant in Atlanta with a friend. At the same time, both of us notice a good size cockroach crawling along a wall. Several other diners notice this as well and notifies the staff. A manager comes out of the kitchen, smashes the roach with side of his fist, and says “ah that was just a baby roach”.
We left.

At least wait a little to steal their credit card!

A friend took me to drinks for my birthday. She paid with her credit card. Before we even left the lounge she was getting notifications from her credit card company about suspicious activity. Turns out the waitress was part of a team of scammers that would steal patrons cc info an immediately order things online. This one ordered an $1,800 television from Walmart. Crazy.

Was the waiter a 10-year-old?

My brother was once in a restaurant and the waiter kept shining a laser pointer at him. The waiter didn't give one fuck either. When my brother saw who it was and pointed at him he just laughed and gave him the finger. Needless to say he didn't get a tip.

Finished!
