I am SO disappointed

[georged]

I went to one of those really---I mean REALLY---nice restaurants last night. You know, the sort where the waitpersons look and act like ice carvings who sneer at everyone, your table is a rough cement slab, and the walls are recycled industrial boiler plate? Yeah, THAT fancy, right? And " , " our chef (he doesn't believe in labels, so a verbal pause is what he used as his name), said that we would feel the fourth year of his childhood in the second bite (not the first) of the appetizer---you know, when his dog ran away and he was sad all summer?---but I'm afraid I didn't. I just didn't. Maybe a little on the third bite, but by then who cares, right?

So, anyway, I mentioned how disappointed I was to our waithuman, and xer (xim?) simply IGNORED me! I know xer (xim?) heard what I said, though, because I overheard xim (xer?) talking to another waithuman about how some customers lack taste and awareness to such a degree that they can't detect " , "'s childhood in their quartered fava bean.

What arrogance!

Normally I'd let such a thing go, but that quartered fava bean wasn't cheap! It's a $90 app!

What do you think I should do now? I'm feeling ripped off. (And, to be totally honest, a bit afraid. I mean, it's possible that I failed " , " instead of the other way around... )

I know you PM guys truly appreciate and understand fine dining, so I promise to do whatever you say.

If you can afford to go to one of those restaurants it means you're not getting taxed enough, so I'm going to withhold any sympathy and advice I might otherwise have given (also I don't care for the privileged attitude you exhibit toward service workers).

I hope you didn't tip more than 30%. That'll reach that waitbot not to mess with you!

This is why I eat at McDonald's. I can EXPECT subpar service. And when it arrives, I'm not disappointed!

 

[lraisch]

Go back and order the same dish and ask for ketchup.

 

[OzPiper]

Go back and order the same dish and ask for ketchup.

That will be another $50. Sir


Have a wad of $100 bills ($50 if you’re feeling skint) and hand them out to everyone coming up to you as you step in the door.
Never fails to ensure subservient service

 

[bluegrassbrian]

Did " " serve a nice Chianti with the (hanged, drawn, and) Quartered Fava?

 

[Streeper541]

I was unaware there was such a thing as a ninety dollar bean.

 

[doug535]

I told you you're welcome to come over here anytime for dinner, where you'll be treated as bad if not worse. I promise to wear shorts and smoke a pipe as I prepare your subpar vittles.

$90 is pretty cheap to learn a good lesson.
You could try writing them, but I doubt that would work. Best to leave a sophisticated yet devastating review online.
It's kinda like how wine industry economists have shown that the more you pay for the same bottle of wine, the more you enjoy it, IF you're that type of consumer, which I doubt you are...
I believe you've seen the emperors new clothes for what they are!

I was under the impression George lives in the KC area. I was not aware that there is “one of those really---I mean REALLY---nice restaurants” in KC? I love my town and there is some great food here and some pretty expensive restaurants. Still looking for a really nice / good restaurant

 

[dog_park_piper]

Just give me a Costco hotdog. I’ll use the $90 bucks to buy real food while I’m there.

God I love Costco s!!!! ️

 

[Simmerdown☕️]

And we are a service driven economy too! ️

Sydney has lots of good eating.
It‘s very cosmopolitan, so choice abounds. You just have to know where to find it. Or have a friend who is a foodie to show you around.

BUT if starched white tablecloths and soft music in the background is what you crave, check your credit card balance before stepping through the doorway.
At the top end, expect to pay at least $300 for your meal.
And that is without wine. Or embellishments like truffles or caviar.

 

[woodsroad]

How are you feeling, Mr. Creosote?

 

[rmpeeps]

Go back and just order an appetizer and drinks. While waiting, excuse yourself to the men’s room where you will tape a clean .380 behind the toilet tank. Shoot me a link and I’ll quietly (not) take care of old “,” .
