Why the hell were they
there?
That's such a bullsh!t case. I once was at a Cracker Barrel in Valdosta Ga. After ORDERING, we waited an hour and a half - and they never brought us water. They apologized and gave us a free meal. That was the BEST I got.
Here, in Southern Maryland, I've had similar experiences. Once we were having a little birthday thing for Fuzzy, and we waited over an hour - and no one had any food at all. Then a few did - but most sat and waited. FINALLY, when our food arrived, and we sent it back when it was cold - they offered a 15% discount. How sweet!
The BEST one, of course was when I ordered sushi at Asahi one night, while everyone else got the little show at the table. He brought out the food - cooked it - did his show - everyone ate - cleaned up - and after EVERYONE WAS GONE - they still didn't have my food. The reason given was that they only had one sushi chef working that night, and apparently he only did food for tables when there was a break in the action at the bar - which means, just about NEVER. I was the only one left, and they finally brought me my meal, which I refused. I guess I thought after this travesty, they'd offer to comp me something. Their generous compensation was, I didn't have to PAY FOR THE MEAL THAT WAS 90 minutes late which I didn't eat.
But I digress ....
I wish I had a nickel for every time I needed service, and the floor rep was busy chatting with his buds - was on the cell with her girlfriend - or in the case of a sporting goods store, looked at me and pretended I wasn't there - and laughed to his friends when I left about that stupid white guy. Most of time, these were *kids* being jerks, of the sort I'd FIRE if I were the boss. But I don't sue the company for discrimination (although mainly because there isn't a chance in hell it would EVER see a day in court no matter how egregious the offense was).
Call me a snob - but I PITY someone who's in retail and ignores customers. It means you're in a low-paying job --- and you suck at it.
Was that a good racist comeback?
