Did not get exactly what you asked for (or say you asked for) or exactly the way you think it ought to be? Did it arrive late? early? Was the service not polite enough? too patronizing? Was the lighting too bright for you to enjoy yourself? too dim to see what you were doing? Then, by damn, complain! It's unacceptable and you should be compensated. You are a paying customer (or would be if they did their jobs right) and it's their job to keep you happy. <BR/><BR/>And they get away with it because most businesses don't want the reputation of having bad customer service. The trouble is that these people assume it doesn't cost anyone but the company and that the company won't be hurt in any way. <BR/><BR/>News flash, savvy shoppers/selfish cheapskates! Somebody ALWAYS pays for your freebies and it's not always somebody who can afford it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1131985960952952652005-11-14T10:32:00.000-06:002005-11-14T10:32:00.000-06:00Now that table need to be crop dusted!Now that table need to be crop dusted!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1131951963944151342005-11-14T01:06:00.000-06:002005-11-14T01:06:00.000-06:00Just leave them in the lurch, with a giant lurch o...Just leave them in the lurch, with a giant lurch of a sneeze or dandruff shake that will satsify your moral standards.

Usually when I eat at restaurants, the food isn't good...not worth the price at least, I almost never complaint and even if I say something to the waiter-waitress, they never give me anything free. NEVER.<BR/>SO when I read your blog or waiter rant, I feel kinda sad;)<BR/><BR/> it is a very good thing that you are so patient, that s really nice for the patrons I guess:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1131909784213105552005-11-13T13:23:00.000-06:002005-11-13T13:23:00.000-06:00at least she didn't make a din! some of my custome...at least she didn't make a din! some of my customers can tear down the restaurant over this.nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307903209936207788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15210421.post-1131896316361206252005-11-13T09:38:00.000-06:002005-11-13T09:38:00.000-06:00I hate people like that.

It's become a cute little scam and it needs to be put to bed. With extreme prejudice...<BR/><BR/>One of these days I'd like to organize all the waiters to go into the bank early one day. We'd all deposit a few bucks, keep our bank statements, and drink coffee. You know the coffee you get for free while you wait to deposit your hard-earned money into a checking account the financial institution insists on taking their 'cut' based on account balances? I'd like to go in and drink, drink, and drink their fucking coffee! <BR/><BR/>Why? Because they are the rotten bastards that come in after their scheduled day and expect US to stay open for their mudslide, water with lemon, and chicken sandwich (no oil, please, it gives me gas).<BR/><BR/>We'll insist on sitting after hours and say, "but we're paying customers!" And we'll produce our deposit slips, displaying our deposit record, proving we are customers, calling corporate...and changing policies to where they have to wait on OUR ass!<BR/><BR/>I forgot what I was going on about, but people please stop trying to fuck over your neighboring corporate restaurant waiter.<BR/><BR/>That's me,<BR/><BR/>Big Tasty<BR/>http://therealbigtasty.comBig Tastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269288452233988404noreply@blogger.com
