There are more important things to get bunched up about, but I just had to share this:

I've worked in the restaurant industry as a waiter at a handful or restaurants in my youth. A few of them were more upscale.

A big pet peeve of mine when dining out is the waitron that apparently wants to appear impressive by not writing down the order!! If they bring all components of the meal as ordered after not writing the order down, IMO, big deal. However, it seems almost more often that not, they forget something (a drink, screw up the order, etc). It happened again today during lunch. The waiter brought me something similar to what I ordered, but with the wrong main ingredient.

Anyone else bugged by that type of thing?
