Not that it would excuse their behavior, but: Did they have a reservation?

Fred Casely on December 8, 2015 at 5:58 PM

ha ha ah hhha. Nice. And I would call this fake like the idea of the idealistic dinner shared by savages and godly folk never happened.

ghaazz on December 8, 2015 at 9:06 PM

You went to go cry, PUH-LEEZ!

Do you do this for every supposed rude customer.?

If this was true, and they didn't like the meal, then they don't have to tip. Even if they liked the meal, they don't have to tip. Get over yourself, that you get a tip no matter what.

Name the place too.

I see fucktards in public like this more and more these days. Acting out in public because they drive a Lexus, Beemer or Audi and really dont have a pot to piss in. I say to the service industry that has to serve asswipes like this - spit on their food. They deserve it in spades and should never leave the confines of their homes in the first place. It doesnt matter what time of year it is!

Hope they got some boogers and cum.

It's called a Yelper Special.

smitty on December 9, 2015 at 4:44 AM

@3 Yes, you have to tip, you dick.

estabien on December 9, 2015 at 6:16 AM

I for one find it SHOCKING! that these two had no where else to be on Turkey Day. Absolutely floored.

Totally sucks. But . . . maybe the first mistake was re-seating the couple. That only fed into their sense of entitlement. If they to sit complain while sitting at the bar/counter, the response is to politely but firmly remind them that they're at a restaurant at a peak time on a very busy day (and without a reservation, if that applies) and then ask them to leave. Beggars can't choose. Well, actually, they can: 1) Take the seat that's available and like it; 2) Wait for a better table; 3) Go elsewhere.
You know that once they start demanding (whether aggressively or passively), they're going to be trouble - for you and the rest of the staff and customers. It's better for everyone if they just go.

@6, No We Don't. Do you tip minimum wage workers in businesses other than a restaurant/bar? Say like the minimum wage worker at you grocery store?, gas station, fast food joint?, department store? If not, then STFU

Thrill Killer on December 9, 2015 at 10:49 AM

Minimum wage employees at those other jobs are actually paid minimum wage not the minimum wage for tipped employees.

squirrely girl on December 9, 2015 at 11:46 AM

@11: In Washington state, there is no lower minimum wage for tipped workers.

ratfink on December 9, 2015 at 4:09 PM

@12 not that that's an excuse not to tip

ratfink on December 9, 2015 at 4:10 PM

I'm sure they're dining in a restaurant on Thanksgiving 'cause no family or friends want them at there dinner.

MC Tatonka on December 9, 2015 at 5:16 PM

Why are the I, Anons so lame the last few months? Not enough COCAIN and MALT LIQUOR?

Arthur Zifferelli on December 10, 2015 at 9:00 AM

@10 You tip for service, not the food quality. Whatever you need to tell yourself to save a couple bucks I guess. I guess being an asshole and being cheap go hand in hand. I tip in industries where it is expected, because that's part of someone's expected income. If someone carries my bags at the grocery store (like when I broke my leg) I absolutely tip, even if I don't like the groceries they carried for me. You make a good point though - if you don't tip everyone you come into contact with you don't have tip anyone. Sound reasoning.

estabien on December 10, 2015 at 10:32 AM

maybe his mom has mental issues. because sitting at the bar is fun!

Max Solomon on December 11, 2015 at 2:23 PM

My sympathies to the letter writer. From my experiences in the service sector I know how sometimes a customer's rudeness cuts like a knife, that insults or complaints that you can typically brush off somehow go straight to the heart.

I hope you feel some relief being able to vent your frustrations online. Best wishes

unknown_entity on December 11, 2015 at 2:37 PM

The fact that every time a customer is unpleasant and doesn't tip, we read about it on "I, Anonymous" is proof of just how rare this shocking phenomenon is.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn on December 11, 2015 at 3:04 PM

Who doesn't like sitting at the bar? For a party of 2, the bar rules. Some people shouldn't leave the house.

Also, can we just ignore the Mr. Pinks of these sorts of threads? If someone pouted "I don't HAVE to wear pants when I drive my car if I don't want to!" would you be arguing with them?

Dougsf on December 11, 2015 at 3:59 PM

We have to tip in Seattle? I had no idea . . . :rolleyes:

dean.fuller on December 11, 2015 at 4:07 PM

Unless it's some elegant-ass fancy dinner, I prefer sitting at the bar.

And tipping is really stupid, but I do it in 98% of cases, where the service is at least acceptable.

Karlheinz Arschbomber on December 11, 2015 at 4:09 PM

If you all are feeling a little bummed out I'd like you all to imagine for one second the shear amount of spit, piss, and feces Thrill Killer has unknowingly consumed at every restaurant and bar he has ever taken the time to (dis)grace.

Yeah. Imagine that. Feel better now, don't you?

tkc on December 11, 2015 at 4:09 PM

@25. Thank you for that. I feel better.

dereksays on December 11, 2015 at 4:23 PM

@25 That was a real service. Thank you :)

Beetlecat on December 11, 2015 at 6:00 PM

@25 - Wow, thanks tkc. Everything is now in much better perspective, andI'm suddenly feeling AWESOME! Thanks again. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

sperifera on December 11, 2015 at 6:07 PM

Take it up with the manager. Complainers like that rarely will tip, or be "converted" by the good service. They should have been asked to leave.

Some Old Nobodaddy Logged In on December 11, 2015 at 9:37 PM

I agree with @29; bounce their asses.

Sandiai on December 11, 2015 at 11:16 PM

If they actually did "reek of privilege and entitlement" they would have had a reservation at someplace like Canlis. These people just sound like garden variety bores.

Catalina Vel-DuRay on December 12, 2015 at 8:56 AM

I waited tables for 10+ years. If you got so stressed you had to cry over a comment not even directed towards you ("Well this sucks!"), you should look for work another field.

Preppy6917 on December 12, 2015 at 7:29 PM

@20, Uhm, No

Thrill Killer on December 13, 2015 at 9:02 AM

@34 Enjoy your next batch of freshly plucked pubes

estabien on December 13, 2015 at 1:52 PM

@35, As long as they'er from you.

Thrill Killer on December 13, 2015 at 4:22 PM

@16 is the only one here making sense.
