What Do You Mean The Staff Expect To Get Paid?!
I am serving in a steak/seafood restaurant in a tourist beach town in the summer. A man, his wife, and several kids sit down, he’s eyeing the entrees at other tables, looking pretty excited. They get the menus.
Suddenly, his demeanor changes. He gets an irate look on his face, stands up, and tells his family they’re leaving, and they start walking to the door.
Me: “Is everything alright?”
Customer: “Why would I pay $28 for a ribeye when I can go to the grocery store and buy one for $12 and cook it myself! Hmm? Now tell me why I would do that?”
He then looked at me like I was an idiot for not realizing this and stormed off before I could ask him if this was the first time he had ever been inside a restaurant.
