Mexican restaurant running out of beans is indeed funny! lol!<br />I have never been to France so no idea about the service. I will keep this in mind if/when I visit France. That was a good idea of leaving 1 cent as tip. Sometimes I don't like the service and still pay tip just because they will think that we lack manners.<br />lol@the Indian waiter.

During my early days, people would not serve me at restaraunts there because they felt it was strange that a young woman should sit alone at a table. They probably thought I would be joined by someone. I finally gave up on restaurants and started order room service, making sure that I was near the door when the waiter came in with the food.

Compared to where?<br />We have more variety and taste than any other country in the world. No one else comes close.<br /><br />Portions are too much compared to what? Compared to where?<br />Look you don’t have to eat the whole portion that is served to you in one shot. If it’s too much then take it home for later.<br />We’re just trying to give you your money’s worth. We don’t want you to go home hungry right after going to a restaurant.<br />What’s the point of paying for an undersized meal?<br /><br />“it suits them as they really eat a lot there”<br />WTH kind of comment is that?<br />Who died and made you the expert on how much people eat in the USA?<br />A laughable comment.<br />I guess I can now make an opposite comment that people don’t eat enough in India…and that many people are malnourished…yet somehow hypertension and diabetes still runs rampant over there.The Cagey Beenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-50602479628727219112014-04-28T21:24:50.964-07:002014-04-28T21:24:50.964-07:00Your post was about restaurants, but what I learnt...Your post was about restaurants, but what I learnt from it is that I need to travel and widen my horizons.

I don't have any bad experiences, only a few good ones.I had ordered coffee in a cafe, which served to me warm, that is it was as hot as it should be. Just as I was about to complain, the waiter came and said all by himself that the coffee is not hot, and that he would make a fresh one again and serve it to me.<br />It was so thoughtful of him to do so without my opening my mouth. <br />Somehow the food in the US is not all that great,and the portions are too much, but it suits them as they really eat a lot there. I always like to stick to pizzas and I never get tired of them, and they seem to me much safer and more filling than other food. SO whether in europe or the US I always love to taste different types of pizzas.Rama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-43172003070828223562014-04-28T16:17:34.022-07:002014-04-28T16:17:34.022-07:00Thanks for your comments Rajesh.
