Thu, May. 26th, 2005 11:47 pmOMFG I wanted to stab just about every dine-in customer tonight. Just... OMG the PICKINESS! Just pure nitpicking the whole night.
"The champagne's flat." No it bloody isn't. You saw very bloody well that the head took up THREE QUARTERS OF THE GLASS before it died again. Flat my arse.
"There's not enough chicken in my pad thai." Don't dis the pad thai. I like my pad thai. There's nothing wrong with the pad thai; you had plenty of chicken.
"My coffee's too strong." That's why I put an extra jug of milk on the table for you.
"You said this had brocoli in it." I said it had seasonal veggies, which usually does include brocoli. I got it wrong that time, sorry, I don't know the ingredients of every item on the menu, especially stuff that people barely ever order.
And my favourite:
bloke: My lemon lime bitters has no bitters in it. Or lemon.
'narti: ...Yes it does.
bloke: No, it doesn't.
'narti: I made it, I know it has bitters and lemon in it.
bloke: Nah, this is just water with lime added.
'narti: I made that lemon lime bitters myself, and I can assure you, I used lemonade and several drops of bitters.
bloke: You're sure?
'narti: Yep.
bloke: There was no brown tinge from bitters in that glass.
'narti: Yes, there was. I used bitters.
bloke: *holds up (empty) glass* Look at that! It's completely clear!
'narti: ...That's melted ice.
bloke: Yeah, well... there was no bitters in that. Or lemon.
'narti: I opened a new bottle of lemonade!
bloke: Really? What did you use?
'narti: Erm... Sprite, I think it was.
bloke's wife: Schweppes is better.
'narti: (Internally: You're joking) I'll make a note of it.
bloke: You used lemonade?
'narti: Yep.
bloke: With lime juice and bitters.
'narti: Yep.
bloke: Still tasted like water with lime juice.
'narti: I'm going to have to disagree with you on that one, sorry. *takes glass and buggers off before he asks for a free glass*
Same bloke who was trying to get a free bottle of champagne earlier in the evening. If your lemonade's flat (which it WASN'T, just like the champagne wasn't), you don't drink the whole glass, then tell the waitress. I was already pissy by this point, so prolly ticked me off more than it would've if it'd been the first complaint of the evening, but there you go. As it was I wanted to rip everyone's head off by the time I went home.
Okay, I know people can tell the difference between Pepsi and Coke, but different brands of lemonade?
Just... Guh ><######### I swear every bitchy person in the Hills just converged on our restaurant tonight. Shoot me now >< Or at least the shitty customers >
