You have every right to explain to waitstaff what's beneficial to their financial position (with regards to the potential $20 tip) and doing so ALWAYS results in a good experience for the customer . Perhaps you were thinking she was going to help you get a position at Charles Schwab? Also, I'd guess 98% of waitstaff could care less about the $75 you're bringing in for the restaurant. I can't believe this 5th class waitstaff citizen (in a private establishment) had the nerve to not yield to you.

Seriously, the absolute second any waitstaff ever told me that everyone out of 9 had to order I'd be on my way to the door as I would have known this waitstaffer would rather me get hit by a bus than wait on me, I guess some people need to have a picture drawn but whatever. That and the Waffle house is less than a mile form the shiny diner nullifying these shenanigans...

where is this place?

i feel like i have been there before

2/6/2010 12:29:36 AM

Off of Buck Jones road near Cary Crossroads. It is beside Borders and Ice House (ice skating) and across the street from Northern Tools.

2/6/2010 12:49:12 AM

It's up near Crossroads.

I really wish someone would open a good diner in Raleigh. Enough Yankees around here to do it you would think.

2/6/2010 12:49:25 AM

oh yeah, definitely have been there several times.....usually late night

2/6/2010 1:12:23 AM

I boycott Gypsy's because it's overpriced garbage food, not because you don't know how to put a bitch in her place.

2/6/2010 1:57:45 AM

farmer's market > gypsy's

2/6/2010 2:12:56 AM

I don't eat there anyway, since their food is shitty, but this sounds like a classic case of being a group of cheap and rambunctious college kids.

2/6/2010 2:14:24 AM

pathetic of gypsy's, but I do remember going to rockola in like 2000 when I was a junior and having a bunch of girls who ordered water and demanded more bread. I didn't even know full dining protocol at that point but I was still unnerved

Let's see where will I start

7 waters, 1st sign of a cheap ass group

well that and the fact you are having trouble typing coherent sentences points to the fact that you were more than likely

props for leaving. i thought this was a typical rant where you caved to the demands of a 65 year old waitress .

2/6/2010 11:14:45 AM

^^well he posted it at 9:50...which means he was probably there at least a couple hours before. (assuming that after they left, he and his friends went somewhere else).

so i hope he wasnt drunk

If diners didn't serve to drunk loud college students, they would be out of business. I highly doubt they were thrown out for being loud.

2/6/2010 11:19:40 AM

Have never been, havnt heard anything on it till now so I guess Ill stay away.

While I understand the meeting and no ordering bit, you cant judge on someone ordering water. Unless I order a real drink, I normally get water as I hate soda when I eat out. I do however understand this as when I was in HS we used to go to this place where I lived. I always made sure I ordered something, then again if it was small groups, at least someones ordering (I def agree if it was 2 or 3 out of 10), and normally this place didnt have a lot of ppl in it, and I know a lot of resturants like some people in it and not dead empty.

I don't like this place either. Waitress was a smartass to me over something on the menu that I thought included fries.

2/6/2010 12:28:44 PM

Gypsy's is like an overpriced Waffle House that caters to the low self-esteem market.

2/6/2010 12:51:27 PM

nvm.

[Edited on February 6, 2010 at 2:54 PM. Reason : ...]

2/6/2010 2:44:31 PM

I'd leave if they demanded everyone in the group order even if I was ordering. I have food allergies and if I want to spend time with friends I'm not paying for some shit I can't even eat.

2/6/2010 4:20:45 PM

i love gypsy's


why couldn't the last person order a coffee or just say he/she was sharing with someone? Seems like a very easy problem to get around

2/6/2010 7:24:26 PM

^ Or the waitress could have just not been a cunt.

2/6/2010 7:33:10 PM

I would have walked out too. I could understand if the place was packed and half of the group was not ordering, but just one or two people not ordering? that's just bad form.

Because when I go out, I want to be bullied by my waitress

2/6/2010 7:50:36 PM

I love to get Reuben's sandwich there, but the last time I've been there was over 2 years ago.

2/6/2010 8:44:41 PM

I've really never understood waitresses getting their panties in a bunch over people ordering water. Sure, the restaurant has every incentive to convince customers to fork over $2.49 for a product that costs them about a nickel. But the waitress stands to make, what, maybe an extra half dollar?

2/6/2010 11:26:46 PM

4 extra half dollars is 2 whole dollars

2 WHOLE DOLLARS

2/6/2010 11:29:13 PM

Yes, but what if those two whole dollars are in the form of one two dollar bill ???

2/6/2010 11:40:58 PM

then its queer

dude that is way to early to be up in there eating......should be after the bars close

2/6/2010 11:43:17 PM

^we had been ice skating next door for the previous two hours.

2/6/2010 11:44:42 PM

Went there several years ago with some friends for Milkshakes.

Waitress said they didn't make them because the ice cream was in the freezer.

2/6/2010 11:46:09 PM

^as opposed to...?

2/6/2010 11:47:00 PM

^^ hahaha wtf

2/6/2010 11:48:50 PM

Why would a sober person go to Gypsy's? Especially when lots of other restaurants are open?

2/7/2010 12:44:11 AM

I will look upon your treasures gypsy. this is understood?

"That restaurant sucks anyway. Raleigh needs a real Greek diner."

Amen.

Need to start importing them from NY.

2/7/2010 2:07:40 AM

When Raleigh becomes a real city, then we will get a real Greek diner.

Or will a real Greek diner make us a real city? The causation is confusing me.

2/7/2010 2:23:23 AM

First we need to import some Greeks.

2/7/2010 3:14:20 AM

How about Raleigh's a real city without Greek diners?

2/7/2010 3:45:45 AM

set em up
