I won't call this "a common service flaw" (and for that matter only marginally service related) but twice in the past year I have (after being seated) gotten up and completely removed myself from a servers section based solely on the appearance of the server. While I will acknowledge an individuals freedom of expression, I too have the freedom to express myself. If you're a server and you show up at my table looking like some Amazon Delta pigmy/tribesman don't get your panties in a wad when I get up and move to another section. Simply put I don't find a combination of "dual sleeve" tatts, "life saver" earrings and eyebrow/tongue studs even remotely conducive to my dining experience.
Hear Hear, I freely admit that I am "gaugist" a word I made up!! I HATE gauges, particularly when they aren't wearing any and the hole in their ears varies from the size of a walnut to a peach. I, too would move seats if I were confronted with that.
