1. The waiters were all staring at us
(different restaurant)
2. We were harassed by a large group of men who were taking our pictures and videotaping us till we were out the door and the staff did nothing to stop that.
(another different place)
3. They brought me the wrong order, and while I'm usually the one not to bother and just eat anyway, I had had a very long exhausting day at work and was really looking forward to my meal. When I politely pointed out that it's not what I asked for, the waiter lied to my face telling me that I don't know what it tastes like and I'm just trying to play him. Then he smirked. Like dude what do I get out of playing you? I got my hands on another employee and had them taste it. They repeated the same thing plus the weird smile and sniffs. I had the manager called. That's when they lost their shit. I had the manager taste it. I asked him "I just don't understand why everyone here has to lie? If you're truly the manager you'd know what basic ingredients taste like. Or should we have a trip to the kitchen? Let's take it to the chef shall we?"
I was living in a small town for work back then and a woman eating out late at night was like a woman asking for trouble. They just wanted to insult me for some amusement. I had understood this otherwise I'm never fussy about orders and just eat what's on my plate. Thankfully the manager realized what the employees had been up to. But I don't think they ever got fired because "if a woman's out so late at night, anything is her own fault".
