Texas Diners Warned About These Restaurant Red Flags

(KNUE-FM) It seems like most people going out to eat in the state of Texas have been complaining about a variety of things such as poor customer service, food quality, or the fact that everyone is being asked for a tip.

Common Red Flags Texas Diners Notice First

While we can all agree those things can be annoying, I will say that working in food service is not easy. I worked in a restaurant for a short time, and it can be very difficult work but there are restaurant red flags you can look out for to avoid having a bad experience.

Reader’s Digest came up with an article about red flags at restaurants and I found it interesting, but I think they missed the mark on a few things.

One of the things they mentioned specifically was about dealing with restaurant employees that didn’t seem interested in being at work, but you will never know that until you are already at the restaurant. Sure, you can avoid that restaurant in the future but it’s still tough dealing with that first bad experience.
