I am SO disappointed

[bullet08]

Just take a dead fly back to the restaurant, and drop it in a glass of fine white sparkling wine a beautiful woman's drinking on a near by table.

Eat the beans and then let rip! Announce very loudly to all and sundry that in your country that is a sign of how much you enjoyed the food!

In some cultures it is considered polite to burp loudly as a sign of appreciation of the food.
I suppose a fart is an even a bigger compliment

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 “,” .

I think it's legitimate to complain to the management of the restaurant (not the waiter who has no real clout). If they really take their craft seriously, they should offer to reimburse you or, at least, provide another meal gratis. The prices at restaurants have gone up considerably since the pandemic. The mediocre restaurants—the vast majority—charge as much as the good ones. I can't think of any that charge or deserve $90 for an appetizer, unless it's caviar!

When I eat my Jr Whopper at Burger King I rember when I farted at the dinner table and my Mom was pissed!

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.

Well apparently that kind of place just isn't for you or is extra for you. I am having trouble getting a read on if you hated it or got a masochistic thrill out of the experience.

 

[anotherbob]

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

sometimes fancy places shot for acting crappy to the customers. Seriously gives some people a real sense of exclusivity. Why because people are complex and weird.

Neither.

It's option "C"...

A joke.

In this case, attempted humor via absurd exaggeration.

What about if you stick a match to it after eating but before expressing your enjoyment?

Haven’t done that since boarding school

Haven’t done that since high school

Fun. But you have to watch out for blow back!

A few weeks ago I went to our local Rod & Gun for dinner. Honestly, Its probably one step up from prison food. My wife and I were invited by her dad.
Before that, the last time I went to a restaurant was November 2021. I remember because my family went to the Olive Garden the day after my moms funeral.
We don't go out much......but a LOT of people treat our house like a restaurant. I swear people have shown up to dinner without being invited!!

I don't know seemed more on the side of drama. Dripping with pathos and all that.

Mistaken identity. I thought he said “Chef “,,” “, when he really said “Chef “,” “. All in all, a very unfortunate joke.

 

[ophiuchus]

Shame. Some folk pay good money for the privilege of experiencing the feeling of being ripped off served to them by an apathetic ___ (NOS). I hope you at least tipped them appropriately.

I’m certain that a jury of your peers would understand that.
