Funny. Hits several of my pet peeves. Could also serve as primer for new floor staff.

Server takes drink, appetizer, salad, and entrée orders from party of seven but writes nothing on order pad, despite complexity of order and multiple substitutions. Customer is forced to make halfhearted joke about server’s apparently prodigious memory. Server takes joke as a compliment rather than a caution. Server gets all orders wrong.
To date, this is the only valid argument I've heard for the legitimacy of a concealed handgun law.

Party of seven all wearing flip-flops in plain sight.
Well, this is deserving of the bastinado!

You missed the second one, also listed in that article:
Server rapidly rattles off long list of beers on tap. One member of dining party asks server to repeat list. Server repeats list just as rapidly. Same member of dining party asks server to repeat list one more time. Everyone else in party wants to murder both server and customer, who ends up ordering a bottle of Stella.
