Here’s the thing. I still have friends who wait tables, and more than one of them has been fired for generating a single bad Yelp review (for transgressions like hesitating to split a check nine ways -- talk about annoying). Now, Jack and I have had our fair share of where’s-the-hidden-c​amera-level bad dinners, but for some reason, neither one of us likes to complain. Maybe it’s because of all the hours we toiled in service industries ourselves -- or maybe it’s because many of our friends still do. Regardless, it’s strange how complaint adverse we both are when you consider how assertive we are in other areas.

So many of my best friends are the opposite. They figure, if they’re spending money to go out to eat, they deserve to leave the restaurant feeling happy.

What about you: Are you part of a complainer couple or a let-it-go couple?
