I can think of a few reasons the waiter did this and all of them point to him being a shitty little rodent of a person.
1.He never gets good tips; ie. You Suck! Get out of the service industry and apply at IDOT. Have you ever seen anyone holding a SLOW sign that you would want serving you food?
2.He’s a thief. He is adding 18% and hoping the customer doesn’t look, and tips on top of it. Cavat Emptor does not apply here. This is P Town and this resturant has been around for decades, no amount of chain-store thinking would justify this on a party under 8.
3.He’s a product of chain resturant training. If that’s the case he should pack up his apron and all of his “flair” and head back to whatever whole-fried-onion serving coperate shithole he came from.
Whatever the reason, this POS would have had a much more eventfull night if I were in on that dinner. Good thing for him, I was five states away.
I’m a big fan of this place and an even bigger fan of their bartender, who in my humble opinon is one of the three best in town. But I’m going to find out who this person is and give my tips to anyone but him. Nothing tells an owner that a waiter needs to go like a request of “anyone but him” when you’re being seated.
OK, that’s a little too much like one of my rants so I’ll stop now. I’d just like to take this chance to thank everyone who voted for me in the RCT Best of ‘06 readers poll. I’d also like to break the news to those who don’t know; F. Scotts will be closing its doors for good next month. I don’t know if I’m at liberty to discuss the details of that closing but I will when I can. I can say that everyone at F. Scotts from the owners to the dishwashers fought to keep the place open. This has nothing to do with the business or anything food related. We are loosing the best steakhouse in town and one of the single most sucessfull family-owned places in Peoria. As far as I know, this is because of ONE and only one person. I do know that I can say, Thank You from everyone at F. Scotts. It has been our pleasure bringing you the best food, the best way we know how.
Thank you, have a good evening and watch you step leaving the dining room.

I’m really sad to hear the news of F.Scotts. I suppose we may have met without knowing it at some point. I certainly will be visiting one last time before it’s gone for good.
Terrible news about F.Scotts. It’s by far my favorite steak house in Peoria. Best food, best staff, best ambiance, best everything. I can only hope that it will re-open at a new location.
Hi, great day! Fine book.
Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? Why has bush turned our country from a country of hope and prosperity to a country of belligerence and fear.
What happened to us, people? When did we become such lemmings?
We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!
Great site. Provillus best regards
