Tonight was a complete and utter nightmare...
I had just arrived back in the big smoke after a nice few days away with my good friend peter.
I felt a bit peckish so I headed to one of the most famous sois in the capital and sat at one of the most well known restaurants...
Waitress right from the off had a face on her, she looked absolutely furious.
then I ordered a pint of lager and she asked "how drunk are you?"
I said what the hell are you on about (this was my first pint of the day)
she said we have a policy that we don't serve drunk customers.....
bear in mind this was in the busiest soi in one of the busiest restaurants in the busiest part of town - everyone there was drunk to some extent, but this was my first pint...
I was also starving, so I ordered a nice hearty meal as well.
when the pint came over she literally threw it at me and gave me a snarling look - at which point i said stick yer pint and food up yer arse, im going to the american joint round the corner, which I did and it was delightful. No fuss, no drama, just chili dogs and chili fries galore with bud on tap....
what the hell is going on here at all?
if a waitress behaved that way in the west she would at the very least get a firm dose of the verbals, or even worse get spat on..
They really need to up their game - I can't wait till low season when they are all skint and desperate again.
regards,
bob.
