Dave,
You have a point there but your hair conceals it.;)
You're right. Just be direct as you mention and then hope she doesn't spit in your meal the next time you visit.
Low paid waitresses need tips to pay the rent. The one point someone pointed out in this thread is that she lied. I'd speak to the manager come to think of it.
Blaming the chef was a quick to judgement post. I stand corrected.
Making Garlic PasteAndy I have a garlic press with a "spiky" side that cleans the little holes in the press. Though i like my zyless better, i seem to get better leverage...
When I wore my chef's hat I hated waitstaff complaints when I knew I was doing my best and it was mostly their fault. Slow night, bad day with the kids and husband, whatever. But I never lowered my quality of cheffing, in any case. The whole point in the biz is to keep existing and new customers happy after their meal.
If some greedy waitress came in and told me the food tasted metallic I'd ask what they ordered. A chef's worst nightmare. Stop serving the dish. Inspect the dish (time-delay). Yep. Bad form to blame the chef for the waitresses issues and lies.
'Nuf said.
All the best,
Andy
