Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s Foodie File blog has put up a crisply written post titled “Scenes from a New Restaurant,” wherein customers get keyed up about a new eatery opening and act like complete douche bags. The shortest of the entry’s three items:
Host: I’m sorry, we’re not taking parties more than ten for the first week while we get our legs under us.
Phone Lady: Well, what if I book it for ten and two more people just happen to show up? Are you actually going to turn them away?
H: No, of course not. We’re just trying to ensure that the kitchen doesn’t get overwhelmed during the first week so that the food comes out in a timely manner. We just don’t want you to be disappointed.
PL: Well that’s your problem, not mine.
It’s always entertaining to watch the oppressed server-tariat blow off steam online, and the Foodie File post is worth reading based on the strength of its “Rock Star” car parking story alone.
hello,i think that is wrong, i am a chef my self and if the kitchen is overwelmed the food will not be up to estender.
if you want good service and good food you should know exactly howmany peopel are coming, or you take your own risk.
