Why do hipster waiters/waitresses suck?

[CapsuleF]

The hipster service I have received has been split right down the middle of good/bad. Whaddaya know just like all service.

What a radical notion!

Do you work for North 3rd?

Maybe this?

[thoth]

Maybe this?

Is anyone actually using that moniker?

The place wasn't busy until the bocce players got there. (By the way, when did the hipsters take over a game that's been predominantly the turf of old, Italian, guys who drink wine?)

I've been seeing bocce league t-shirts all over the place the last few days, and I was trying to figure that out myself. Having grown up surrounded by old wine-drinking Italians, I've been playing bocce since before I can remember...why is it suddenly hip?

[Zep]

Dear God please don't take bocce away from us.

Hipsters have been playing bocce in trendy bars in Brooklyn for at least 7 or 8 years now. Got into an altercation with a particularly douchey group just last year at Union Hall. The worst part, and this is coming from a lifelong South Philly Italian steeped in dago red and bocce, is the drunk girls who neither know nor care about the rules. Grrr

El Camino has the worst service i've experienced by far. I wouldn't go back, but the food is so good.

So weird... I've heard other people say this, but I've always had great service at el camino! hahahahaha I usually go on weekdays after 10pm-maybe that's why? I don't know. I never drink, just eat.

I've had great service there as well.

I've always had great service there too. But I go there quite a bit and tip real well.

‘Deserve to Die’ posters pop up in some U.S. cities | The Lookout - Yahoo! News

Saw the above article today on Yahoo and it immediately reminded me of this thread...hilarious. FYI, I really have nothing against hipsters...except their waiting habits of course.

I think it's unfair that El Camino gets mentioned before El Rey, in the old Midtown Diner on Chestnut. The servers there aren't really rude or snooty; it's one of those places where they just genuinely seem to forget that they're servers.

Ditto the Baja Room at 15th and South, also sometimes confusingly known as El Rey and like three other names. I swear to God, the waiter asked to take our order twice, and another came to take it a third time, the last time we were there. Again: likeable kids, just not too "on it."

I have lunch there at least once a week and have always had great service.

Sorry-just because there's a designated area, it doesn't mean the entire populous is of a certain failed makeup. I'm sure you north easterners are used to clumping all blacks, latinos, and portugese into the same mold-but it doesn't work like that in NoLibs.

And the hypocrite stumbles over his own argument.

[caL]

They only did that because black people frequent it.

Don't hate me for saying that if it offends any of you. Hate the game, not the player.

Never been to PYT but I believe it. At least one restaurant in Franklin Mills does the same. Otherwise, good luck keeping a motivated staff.

Yes +1000

And the dumb ass doesn't understand an obvious exaggeration.

And how exactly did that joke make me a hypocrite? I'm thinking that you enjoy using big words without comprehension.

I suppose all half million of us up in the Northeast are of a 'failed make up' that lumps blacks, latinos and portuguese together.

Where did you get that 'failed make up' quote? You must have quoted yourself. I'm so sorry that you have such a low self-image of you and your neighborhood.

And you still haven't explained how that makes me a hypocrite.
