food timing in local restaurants

I don't like it when my food comes too soon after the salad/appetizer is served. What works for me is I don't order my main course at the same time as my salad/appetizer. This way, I don't leave it up to the waitstaff or kitchen to decide when to serve my meal.

As for tipping, I don't like to see the waitstaff pay for kitchen mistakes. I would never lessen my tip on something the kitchen does. For example, if I order my steak medium and it comes out rare, it's not the waiter's fault.
