Your generalizations amuse me. You haven't the slightest idea of who I
am, yet you make a profile out of me out of pure conjectures.

Can you post where I stated that I condone, or that I laughed? Just
because others did, doesn't mean I condoned it or found it funny.

The details that you don't know, is that the owner was well aware of
this pompous and belicose person, yet he did nothing significant to
punish him. Perhaps because he was a damn good waiter for the rest of
the crowd.

It amazes me how some people harass waiters and waitresses and order
them around. I always tell people whom I am dining with...right after
they scream and shout orders at the waiter...guess what he is doing to
your food back in the kitchen?

The real idiot is the person who makes an ass of himself in his
dealings with a waiter/waitress who is going to be personally handling
food that he is soon going to be putting in his body!

If I get extremely poor service...I do not even touch the plate in
front of me...I get up and tell anybody who tries to get in my way
that their service is bad and I am leaving their food on the table!
Under no circumstances would I accept anything else to eat in that
restaurant.

If you are *THAT* paranoid, you should crawl back into your hole and
pull its shadow in with you.

I am curious how often you've pulled this stunt, though, since you
seem so at ease with it.

Oh, probably four or five times in the last twenty years. One occasion
that comes to mind...I had ordered Swordfish for dinner...they sat the
plate down in front of me...within two seconds my nose alerted me to
the fact that these people were serving me "rotted fish" for dinner.
More precisely, hot rotted fish! There was no way I was going to
sample anything else in this "Tomain Tavern"...ever!

That's OK if you're not afraid to eat something after you have in
effect told them to do their work over again...if you don't think they
are going to spit in your plate you are a very trusting soul indeed!

It's just that I have been around the block a couple of times and I
understand human nature when it comes to handling customer complaints.
What is your reaction when you work for an hour to produce what you
think is good product and the customer says take it back...it's too
done...or take it back it's not done enough. If you're that picky
about how your food is cooked you would be wise to only prepare the
food yourself.

Obviously the world you live in is hellish.

The same thing that's done in your backwoods world; they take it back,
fix it the way the customer wished, and then the server will bribe
them with desserts. If it's not done at first, the server alerts the
manager/owner so that they can check in on the troubled table.
