Amen. We’ve had one guy walk in to our place order pizzas and gelati. The girl asked him if he would like to pick his flavours of gelati now, to which he replies, “No, I’ll just do that when I come to pick up the pizzas.” When he came back he went off that he would have to wait another 5 minutes while we dished up his gelati. He got a discount and the chef out of the kitchen dishing up his gelati.
Had some idiots order some fucked up custom meals (carbonara with prawns anyone?) when there were meals very similar to them on the menu already (that would actually taste nice). One of them even wanted a “non-alcoholic” lemon lime and bitters. :rolleyes: When they got up to the register… “We didn’t like our meals, we are not paying full price.” Now this I could understand if it was the chef’s recipe. You made up your own meals fuckwits, not our fault the chef can’t mix together bacon and prawns when he has 10 other orders after yours and make it taste good. They got a discount.
Had one guy go off at me because I served him a pasta seafood meal, which apparently didn’t have enough seafood in it. “I’ve searched through both of these and all I can find is 1 prawn, and some calamari…” He got up before I could point out to him that the garnish was intact, and the meal was exactly as presented and that he must have some pretty damn good presentation skills to get it back like that after “searching through it”. They got the two meals free and another 2 of the same to take home.
They’ve all come back. I am no match for human stupidity, but it is easy to part a fool with his money.
I know a movie you should all see about this topic…
Do the Right Thing
I think I saw it. A real asshole “customer” starts a bunch of trouble, someone gets hurt, and then the whole city riots and burns, all because one shit head customer wanted to be a real dick.
Yeah, that’s the movie, but Spike made it more nuanced than that. The reason the black nationalist agitators wanted to get into the pizzeria after closing time was to petition for redress of grievances over racial inequality. Spike had also expositioned that Brooklyn was experiencing a severe heat wave, making people more inclined to violence. In the movie, Danny Aiello as the pizzeria owner was feeling mellow and decided to be a nice guy and unlock the door. He was startled and dismayed to see his place invaded by a noisy, unruly mob and then he lost his temper and started some mean shit. The movie does not cast blame on any segment of society but takes an objective look at the causes of race riots.
