Once upon a time...in a fine dining restaurant located inside a hotel by the beach...an Asian American server waited tables...One day, 3 fairly older gentlemen, and an older lady happened to be sitting in her section. The server took their order with the utmost care and concern, just as she does with all her guests.
When their delicious and tasty entrees had arrived, one of the gentlemen bellowed, "WAITRESS! This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I've lost my appetite. TAKE IT AWAY." The sympathetic server replied, "Sir, I'm very sorry the serrano ham panini is not to your liking. May I bring you the menu so that you might choose something else?" The gentleman grunted,"No. TAKE IT AWAY! AND GO AWAY...WAIT, BRING ME A FORK." (Even though he's lost his appetite.) He proceeded to savor his lunch companions' meals, and vacuumed up the bread bowl.
The server patiently waited until the entire table had finished eating and approached the table. She politely inquired, "May I offer you any desserts, compliments of the house?" The lady at the table answered for everyone, "No I think we're alright. We'll just take the check please." The check was presented, then paid without incident. As the guests exited the restaurant, they encountered the restaurant manager and proceeded to describe their experience. "Since our friend's sandwich was inedible, don't you think we deserve a discount?" The manager replied with, "No, but you have a good day! Thank you for coming."
The moral of this story? Stop trying to ruin waitstaff's lives because you're a miserable cheapskate. Stay home. Thanks.
