But its very good. I have only ever complained once and that was in TGI Fridays when I found a frenzied grub in my salad. The Manager almost called me a liar as he said that all their salads came in per sealed bags that had been zapped with so many chemicals that the grub would not have survived!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-63429990106380571132010-11-29T05:27:56.235-08:002010-11-29T05:27:56.235-08:00I was in our local Indian restaurant and a couple ...I was in our local Indian restaurant and a couple started complaining about the service and the food.<br /><br />Sure, it was a bit slow - but the guy was doing his best (the other waited had phoned in sick) and I had genial company, so there was no hassle.<br /><br />Then when the food arrived, this woman berated the waiter to such and extent that I actually TUTTED her - out loud, to her face.<br /><br />That can get you STABBED these days.<br /><br />Her husband, who sat silently during the whole 'floor show' is a chef. Poor bastard. She is deffo the sort of woman you would not go home with a burst pay packet to, yanno?<br /><br />Word Verification: lacting - what a pint of milk does on a theatre stageAlison Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565962059926865121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-2682095133153718012010-11-28T09:09:38.386-08:002010-11-28T09:09:38.386-08:00Yeah you are probably right, people will try to ma...Yeah you are probably right, people will try to make themselves feel better in odd ways... idiots :DPDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285211840621002331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-42109312873171064292010-11-26T12:57:20.038-08:002010-11-26T12:57:20.038-08:00Another brilliant post.

If I don't like the meal, I don't go back. No repeat custom. As for your complainers, you have the patience of a saint. Send Chef out more though, it would make for more amusing stories!TheAmateurChefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-74321950159952352602010-11-25T16:07:21.319-08:002010-11-25T16:07:21.319-08:00To some folks , it is a hobby, and they seem to be...To some folks , it is a hobby, and they seem to be proud of it. The fact that anyone in this business has stories to tell indicates just how popular these sort of shenanigans really are.

We put up with them for a while as the business was new and they were local. They'd always find fault with something or other but the straw that broke the camels back was when they complained about a slow cooked half shoulder of lamb. The idiot had the gall to say it was dry and tough, I was working front of house and being the good host I went to have a chat with chef. It was a lunch service and quite quiet so it was clear you could here him swearing in the bar. He straightened his neckerchief, took a couple of pans of the heat and picked up a spoon then walked into the bar and used it to cut up the remain of the lamb. It just fell to pieces on the plate. Chef words were short and two the point basically along the lines of "Do you think I'm stupid" At this point in the interests of safety I interjected and politely asked to pay or fuck off out never to return. Luckily they did both!PDHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285211840621002331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5643498138460820479.post-2082584399259918682010-11-25T05:26:58.319-08:002010-11-25T05:26:58.319-08:00These people seriously have some guts to pull thes...These people seriously have some guts to pull these kinds of stunts off.
