Landmark Diner

We were visiting from Charlotte over the Thanksgiving weekend, I love diners and when I saw this one, I insisted on going there. What a mistake, the food was horrible, the waitress was SLOW, the rolls were hard and cold, the salad was wilted, the 3 dishes that we ordered were all substandard and the pasta with seafood was goopy and gross. To top it off, I was going to get some dessert hoping it wasn't made there, as I was walking up to the front, I saw one of the workers (an older gentleman in a suit), rearranging pastries, licking his finger with every move and touching the others, yuck. I walked back to the table and after requesting our bill, it took the waitress another 15 minutes to bring it, she was talking and laughing with another wait staff.

I have been to Landmark on Luckie street many times at various hours. On 2 occasions, a waitperson decided to add a 15% tip to our bill. On both occasions I was in a party of 2 people.
I complained to management on both occasions and was met by rudeness with the implication that I must not have been intending to leave a tip if I took issue with the server automatically adding a tip to my bill.
Of course that was not the issue. My sister put herself through law school as a waitress and I know that servers make less than $3 an hour. They need tips to survive. I always leave 20% or more.
The point is, it is wrong to automatically add tips to certain customers bills (based on the waiter's perception about that customer).
It's discriminatory and it's wrong. I won't eat at this restaurant again and I will tell everyone I know to do the same.

this place is right in the middle of georgia state's campus. it doesn't feel very cozy at all. i could almost hear my echo when talking to somebody. the prices are way too expensive too. diners are not supposed to charge that much. they're supposed to be for the common folks that just want to have a casual meal. too much to ask?

This is a fequent choice of me and my girlfriends for a late night snack after we go out on the weekends. Dont expect the top of the line food, but get ready for the late night greasy foods that fulfill the after the club cravings that you may get.
