I’d like to speak to the manager!!!

Server edition!!!
The following occurred tonight at work.

A four top was sat. Ordered. The food arrived. They ate.

The server seeing that the woman at the table was finished with her dinner, approached the table and tried to clear the her plate. 

At this point the women completely lost her shit. Why you ask? 

Because her plate was being cleared before everyone at the table was finished. She began to yell at the server because it was very rude of the server to take the plate when others at the table were still eating. At some point she, became completely indignant and demanded to see a manager.  

When he arrived, she began again.

By the time I heard all of this the server was crying in the wait station, because of course, the manager sided with the guest. 

Because the guest is always right.  

At some point I guess our new “English” manager explained that this was an English custom that some people were very strict about.

And my comment.

FUCK HER!!!

This is not fine dining. It’s not even close. You are eating a hamburger with French fries using a paper napkin. The mayonnaise you were given is in a plastic ramekin, and you are squirting ketchup directly from the bottle. When you ordered tea, it was Lipton, and the mug wasn’t even on a saucer. And if I were your server you wouldn’t have even get a spoon. You’d have a little cocktail straw.  

Hmmm. The server was being rude????

Once again.

Fuck you

You want to know what’s rude. Going to another country and then proceeding to demand that your customs be followed.  

Fuck you.  

Fuck you.  

Fuck you.  

Seriously.  

You don’t get to be indignant over a 16-dollar cheeseburger. You want fine dining go find fine dining. You want “proper” service, don’t go to high volume restaurant where the server’s job is to get you in and out in as little time as possible. Don’t go to a restaurant where the other 99% of the people want their plates cleared as soon as they finished. The next time you need “proper” service call up the fucking queen and see if she’s available for dinner. 

Oh.

You know what’s really rude?

To yell and berate someone in public.

In the big scheme of things on the rudeness scale.

Clearing your plate early. 1.

Yelling at a server. 100.
