So there I was in town waiting for my gf to finish up with an audition, and we decided stuff maccies lets get some semi real food at wetherspoons.

So I ordered a burger just to be a cheap beggar and get my free beer, so it arrives and I kid you not, there was about 15 chips on my plate, and most were bottom of the fryer crisp chip wannabes.

So i take it back to the bar and ask the chick who served us (also the manager) "Don't want to be a "Richard Head", but don't you think this is a bit snide? The lil girl over there has a mountain of chips with her burger" to which I get the reply, "wha' dya expect for a £4.99 cheapo burger? a bag of McCains?" So evil looks aside, I thought frakk it, gf paid for it better not kick fuss/ cause a scene.

Got back to the table, explained the scene to the gf which she informs me, that burger cost over £6, DAMMIT! Classic situation of when you have more fuel for the arguement but too late to use it.

I wouldn't have been that annoyed if everyone else had pants portions, but c'mon maccies would have gave me more than that and extra crispy chip wannabes.

So at nearly 30 am I getting old etc or was I in the right? I know what it's like after being in the trade through high school and uni but at times like that the customer is right. Those few extra chips would have made my day :(

Rant over :p
 
Aye I usually kick off, just spent a week in Glasgow over half term, was only one time we went out to eat when I didn't complain or pull someone up about service. Thought since she had paid (for once :p ) I wouldn't make it awkward for her. Usually get guilt tripped about it when we get back home or what not.

Felt well posh with all these Liverpool FC and Rugby League fans about, and me complaining about some chips. Will send them an email with the situation explained clearly etc.
 
Where did you go? I usually get great service here...

Nothing against Glasgow, from there myself, just to some chain places for an easy breakfast or what not, one place that was boggin was the spoons on George Sq. not at Queen street, the old bank I think.

But yeah I'm just like that in general, lipstick marks on glasses, sticky tables when the place is dead and not busy at all, sh!t all over the toilets. I'm the guy to whine about it. Just because folk did it to me when I waited/served I'm passing that on ;)

I never do it confrontational though, lure them in then KA POW! Just peeved me today when I knew I was right but gf made me stand down over it.

Im so under the thumb lol
