so PAYING customers need to change.

Not the establishments who depend on OUR money to survive.

 

with this kind of attitude its no bloody wonder that pubs and restaurants are going out of business like theres no tomrrow.

 

How the hell can you better yourself if you dont get told where you are going wrong??

Thailand is NOT going to adjust to you..............or anyone else. They were slightly runny eggs, get a grip ffs. You're not on daddys yacht now. ^_^

  • jesus.   im lost for words.   get a grip man!!

  • You implied that you didn’t like the cooking.   She doesn’t like rude customers bad mouthing about the the food.   Next time just roll with it and not be so bothered by your pick

  • Up to you, but you may not get the result you expect.    If you and Will B frequent the same establishment can't you synchronize your visit and annoy each other and not other people. 🤔

Thais are perfect and never do anything wrong, so of course she was upset at your not accepting Thainess.

 

I remember having lunch with my wife and her brother. He and I both ordered the same thing. One meal came and I let him start. Mine came only after he had finished. We asked the waitress why they could not have been delivered together and she burst into tears.

 

You have to accept that many Thais act like petulant children, something they picked up at three years old and will never grow out of. That is also Thainess.

Let me guess..... Fitzgerald's on BKK soi 4?

Haha there is one waitress in there who quite literally despises everyone who walks through the door. She literally snarls at customers. It's hilarious. 

Most Thais would never complain, it’s not inbred in them, they would just leave the food pay the bill and leave.

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..

Nothing compared to what the chef did on your egg...

I often find here that Thai people can be very intuitive and very responsive to the attitude that you're projecting. If I walk in with a smile on my face and a pleasant demeanor and treat them nicely, that's usually what I get back. I don't find very many Thai waitresses rude at all, I get that in the states a lot but not in Thailand. I often find them to be very pleasant. 

 

So, perhaps it is a mere reflection?

Who is having a altitude you or the waitress...just wonder 🤔

The waitress was correct in what she said. Eggs in an english breakfast are SUPPOSED to be runny/soft cooked YOU should have been more specific with your order.

Now known in that establishment as "Mr. Complain"🤔

Maybe going into competition with that new place that that bolshy cretni Gordon Ramsey's opening there. I learned early on that in this country, the customer isn't always right.

what is it with these moody waitresses in Thailand

The ladies get the miserable, negative attitude from the foreigners.

 

Cheap Charlie's restaurants here in Pattaya is a great example.

 

The Thai woman working in hospitality get fed up with the never ending, whinging, whining, complaining and aggressive foreigners, this bitter attitude brushes of on the staff.

 

It's people like you bob smith, I see your regular moaning postings, it's people like you that the weak follower, then the weak become miserable and bitter like you.

 

How about posting a positive, respectful article now and then.

 

Most of your posts are negative, lots of Thai bashing 😔

I always ask for scrambled eggs, fried eggs either not done or all burnt around the edges, 

But for me scrambled eggs nearly always come overcooked and rubbery. So I go with the fried whether not done enough or burnt round the edges

Try imagining what it's like to have to put up with moaning farangs like you that don't bother specifying how they like their eggs and then demanding they get cooked again.

If I was that waitress I'd have poured the tea over you and rubbed the eggs in your hair.

I guess you never had a English Breakfast in Thailand or if you did it must have been at a really lousy joint. You don't tell them how you like your fried eggs done units unless your want something other than the standard which is two eggs, sunny side up as our cousin's across the pond call it.

Our Bob said the eggs were 'very runny' ie. not cooked to the standard you described. I've had loads of English breakfasts here in Thailand and have never had to specify exactly how the fried eggs should be cooked, they were cooked spot-on for the most part.

 

Presumably that's because the gaffer has trained his cooks properly and hangs around to ensure consistent quality. 

 

You'd also expect that the wait staff would be trained on how to deal with issues like this as no cook is perfect and everyone can have a bad day. 

 

Too bad that defamation laws prevent the OP from naming the establishment so that we can see for ourselves how the place is run. We could go en masse and really wind this waitress up! 😂

Maybe she was waiting for you to give her your phone number Bob and got upset when you didn't. Perhaps she wanted a small tip for the breakfast service and a big tip later (according to you) from the hansum falang with the shiny Lolex.

you should tell that to the waitress who served me yesterday!

 

I didn't call her a sourpuss for nothing.

 

She could give a ghost a fright!

You should have showed her your rolex Bob

I agree.

 

It's beyond pathetic. 

 

How they even manage to get through life is beyond me.

I'd love to see you deal with life if you started in the same place average Thais do with the same life options. Hell you had a huge leg up over them for options and look at the mess you've become

Adapt with politeness? 

 

how long have you been here? You sound like you’ve just got off the boat or are on a 2 week holiday..


Your logic is baffling to me.

your wife’s not a waitress is she? 😂

 

All the years I’ve been here, I’ve never experienced a rude vender or service employee. Though I’ve seen many raspy foreigners here get an appropriate reciprocal response by the locals. I’m sure the response you got was a well deserved reciprocation of your general demeanor😃

Wasteland ghetto of a thread about a disgruntled customer over a couple of eggs, I mean really…grow a pair already.

The attitude is nothing unusual.  Most service staff in the LOS are not very customer friendly

If part of their salary relied on tips like in the States they might be more attentive.

in the U.K. most hospitality staff go on training courses when working in hospitality and have a vocational qualification.

This guy gets it why do none of you sad acts?

A good tip at the end of the meal would've healed all the wounds.

up 2 you.

 

its your right to not complain, just as it is my right TO complain.

 

get it?

You don't get that I never had a REASON to complain. Never experienced such as you are talking about, but I treated them with respect.

Agree with that 100%. Gosh, this is getting to be a habit, LOL.

 

They have a tough job putting up with arrogant farangs that treat them like <deleted> and working for a pittance.

It's a wonder to me that they are not all spitting at farangs.

I actually like the crispy edges, different to what we grew up with. Each to their own. But then, they have no idea on how to cook a decent rasher of bacon 55
