Ask The Salty Waitress: Shouldn’t I get a discount if I order a dish without meat?
　　Hey Salty, If I order an entree that features meat as a significant portion of the meal, such as pasta with a chicken breast, or a salad with salmon, is it reasonable to ask that they reduce the price of that dish for me? Often the kitchen doesn’t even add...

Ask The Salty Waitress: What’s the deal with my bill’s “employee benefit” surcharge?
　　Dear Salty Waitress, I was recently dining out at a restaurant in the Mall of America. When the check came the total was $95. This included eight bucks and change of tax and a $2.50 employee benefits surcharge. I kind of scratched my head. Certainly I believe servers need employee...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Can I get a refund on this terrible festival food?

Ask The Salty Waitress: How do I get parents to turn down their kids’ iPads?
　　Dear Salty, I have zero issues with parents popping a tablet or phone in front of their kid to keep them occupied in a restaurant, but here’s my beef: While dining in (non-kid-centric) restaurants, I have encountered, on many occasions, children at a nearby tables watching videos or playing games...

Ask The Salty Waitress: The bartender refused to accept my ID

Ask The Salty Waitress: How annoying is it to ask for a table 15 minutes before closing time?
　　Hi Salty! Some nights I get off work late and feel like eating out. The problem is most restaurants around me close at or near when I get off. Say I get off at 10:30, and a restaurant closes at 11; would I be okay to eat there even though...

Ask The Salty Waitress: Should I let my teenage daughter wait tables?
　　Dear Salty: I’m a parent to a teenage girl, and she’s expressed an interest about waitressing at a restaurant to earn some extra money. I’ve read that Anthony Bourdain book about the terrible things that happen at a restaurant, but I also believe that’s an extreme example. Can you tell...

Ask The Salty Waitress: How do I discourage laptop squatters at my restaurant?
　　Hi Salty: I’m the owner of a sandwich shop that does good lunch business. Lately, I’ve noticed people camping out for a few hours with their laptops and external hard drives, using up our outlets, and just ordering a drink, no sandwich. We’re not a coffee shop, our business requires...
