RESTAURANT PATRONS' BIGGEST PET PEEVE: BAD MANNERS

YONKERS, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) -- Most restaurant servers need to be spanked, not tipped, if a new survey is any indication. According to a new poll by "Consumer Reports," rude waiters are the No. 1 pet peeve of restaurant patrons across America. The No. 2 pet peeve? Bad service. Other restaurant problems that ranked high in the survey include... -- Sloppy rest rooms. -- Salads served with soggy lettuce. -- Cramped dining rooms. -- Sticky chairs and tables. -- And, finally, other diners who make too much noise.
