Hope it was something the waitress had direct control over - I've had a lousy meal and tipped the waitress well even though the "chef" couldn't do anything right.
Oh, yes. I am a patient and forgiving man and a generous tipper. This epic fail involved everyone. Waitresses, including mine, spent more time hanging around the bar and chatting than taking care of customers. Mine was slow to get to the table the first time. Slow to bring drinks. Slow to return for the order. It wasn’t a busy day. The wrong food —not even close to what we ordered —was served twice. We had to wait while the correct orders were prepared. There was no real acknowledgment of the problem by the waitresss, much less an apology. She acted as if we should have just eaten what we were served. On top of that, some of the food wasn’t very good, coniedring what I paid for it. We wound up getting manager involved. She shaved about a third off the bill.
