Popular Post bob smith Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 (edited) what is it with these moody waitresses in Thailand I just ordered an english breakfast and the eggs were very runny I asked if the chef could put them back on the fry for a minute and she looked at me like i'd just farted. then she said 'next time you say well done OK' well I never the bloody cheek eggs well done?? whatever next.. then when she came back she literally threw the plate at me and almost spilt my tea all over me she then started the obligatory bad mouthing me to her buddies in Thai.. what is wrong with these people at all i've never known a population so sensitive to a bit of criticism and the service really is shocking at times this is not an isolated incident, many similar situations have happened to me over the years. if you don't like your job then quit! with an attitude like that its a miracle that anyone would want to hire you in the first place!!!

Popular Post Countryman Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 I would never complain about how the food is cooked and send it back to be cooked more , there's a good chance the cook could at the least spit on it , next time say "over easy" ......... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smile. If she's having a bad day doesn't have to worry you. Don't let the minutae in life get you down. But as I haven't experienced this, in fact most waitresses are super kind and friendly, it could have been your attitude. Maybe not. One thing I've noticed is when I do regular hard exercise things don't worry me but otherwise little things get me down. Something to consider. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether she is having a bad day or not is none of my business. A waitress is there to serve customers, supposedly with a smile, not with aggression and hostility. 2 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not last time, then maybe every time going forward now 🙂 Many advantages in a Thai wife/GF - one is she can ask politely for anything I order to be 'well done please'. Once anything is delivered here - you cannot send it back - that is an insult - but leaving it mainly uneaten is OK. This aint Kansas Toto - you need to change - not 'them'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time just roll with it and not be so bothered by your pickyness and move on It isn't rude if you'd like your eggs cooked the right way. That's called service, which is what a restaurant that serves customers for money is supposed to do. Complaining about anything is how things are corrected, from bad wifi, to bad electric company maintenance, to food served, to corruption in police forces. If you don't complain, they will think what they are doing is okay, and mai pen rai doesn't work in the real world. 2 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
