I was actually at a restaurant with a few friends and one of them sent an order back because it was cold. We got it back and it was completely obvious that it had been "tampered" with...we'll just leave it at that. My buddy went back to the kitchen, threw the plate at the chef, and hit him in the face.

Not kidding. It was a surreal experience.

Brother, BON, I had just about the opposite happen a year or so ago.
Was having lunch with a group of my GF's family. And one of her cousins was being overly picky with what he ordered and was served. Sent it back three times. First time it made some sense. After that, it truly did not. At least not for the reasons he was giving.
The rest of us felt like throwing him into the kitchen.....

Yeah, nothing worse than ultra picky eaters that do that. It's embarrassing just sitting at the table with them. Now.....if something is really wrong with food quality, like the dish being cold...I don't have a problem politely sending it back.

So true, so true.

This makes me think of what happened to my sister (biological) and her friends last week. There were 8 of them and they walked into an ice cream shop at 9:15 p.m. and the place closes at 10:00 p.m. The guy behind the counter (described by my sister as "a nerdy kid with braces") looked at them as said, "Do you guys have to eat ice cream? I am trying to finish my dinner."

They just stare at him dumbfounded and eventually lose their taste for ice cream. They all go a few doors down to Starbucks instead. Before they left, my sister told him off. Haha. That is my sister. On their way out of the ice cream place, my sister catches a glimpse of another employee standing in the back eating!!! To make matters worse, when they left Starbucks, they saw some customers eating ice cream. So the kid did not mind serving a smaller group. He just did not want it to disturb his dinner. One of my sister's friends supposedly called the manager this week. I am not sure about what happened with that. I would be so ticked if that happened to me.

Tell your sister to call the Public Health Department and say that there was a Listeria monocytogenes infection in 90% of ice cream and the workers failed to wear gloves. An inspection might be due...

And the point of that would be? So you shut down a whole business over one person's lousy attitude?


Smiley, was the ice cream place by any chance, Coldstone?

WOW that is b.s...i really hope she did called the manager and complain because that is bad business to keep an employee like that.

I'm a slow eater, so I won't go into a sit-down place to eat if they close at 11 and it's 10:30.
