The other side of the coin!!

[mcgarry]

I'd Just like to say, well said to discodown,

we've had far too many arrogant people come in and think that they are better than any other person who lives on this great planet (soley for the reason that they've been fed with a silver spoon found in their ass at birth, all their lives)

Why they feel the need to talk down to people is beyond me.

 

As far the comments from the person before about "I don't believe it !! How dare your customers have the cheek to order something of their own choosing" ,

 

when their own choosing is something out of mere habbit and not out of taste then it is up to us as experienced chefs to try and guide these poor people in the direction of good food, as i think the starter of this thread meant.

 

It's not about telling people what they can have it's about getting them out of the five year old mentality of eerrrrrrrrrrrrr i don't like blood!!! i can't possibly eat something with blood,

why else would you want a well done steak?

 

surely you can't be telling me it tastes better or tastes of anything

 

really who are you trying to fool

 

On another subject, something that really grinds my gears is when you do a check back and everything is fine with customers meals, then when it comes to bill paying time their are lots of problems (even though the food is some where in the customers tummy happily digesting away).

 

Could some one please tell me why this is?

do these people just go out to get something for free?

 

I feel better now i've said my peace

My flat mate would say that a good vet would have it on its feet in 5 minutes :

 

 

this has got to be the quote of the week

[bartender]

Stolen from Blackadder..

[Cavellsuk]

Bad food is made without pride, by cooks who have no pride, and no love. Bad food is made by chefs who are indifferent, or who are trying to be everything to everybody, who are trying to please everyone ... Bad food is fake food ... food that shows fear and lack of confidence in people’s ability to discern or to make decisions about their lives. Food that’s too safe, too pasteurised, too healthy – it’s bad! There should be some risk, like unpasteurised cheese. Food is about rot, and decay, and fermentation….as much as it is also about freshness.

'Have a nice day' Y'all.

'Do you want help with your packing' . . of that packet of ciggie papers!

'How's the meal'

 

'Come back sooon' . . .

. . . . not if you keep pestering me with these banal questions that you don't mean, that you don't care about and that an answer is neither expected or wanted.

 

AND another thing McGarry - Do you realise that 'fine' is the most efficient response to get you to go away pronto

 

I need a badge that says (good mood)

" I am not the mystery customer. You will not get a tick in a box for bothering me "

 

(Bad mood) " Do not bother me , a smack in the mouth with a crunchy well done steak often offends."

im also intolerant of wheat intolerant people. hands up if you have a '21st century-weiner-letter from mum excusing you from games-paranoid-jus cos everyone has got one i best have one too' allergy.

[super7]

I don't like :-

 

olives - foriegn

squash - never heard of it

green stuff - too mushey

white stuff - aspergers

nuts - medical

fish - too fishy

red meat - I need big arterys. I'm thinking about a marathon in 2010

pasta - see white stuff above.

egg's - always too hard or too soft

 

Apart from these. I'll eat anything. I'm a real omivour me!

[mcgarry]

(super7)I think that maybe, someone should invent some new kind of totally non offensive food for you to eat because then that way you might be happy?

 

what exactly do you eat to survive?

 

and what do your comments mean before? , i'd love to know

[lizzmobile]

I am totally intrigued by super7's reasons for not eating certain foods.

 

Olives - foreign. Just like most of the rest of the food we eat in the UK

Green stuff - too mushy. Don't overcook it.

White stuff - apergers. What IS that?

 

The best one has to be the nuts though. Just HOW do you get nuts to be medical??????? I'd love to hear the explanation

 

True about the red meat though... and good luck with the marathon.

 

And I totally agree with Cavellsuk that there is no excuse for bad food. All food starts off in the same condition, it's how people wreck it that makes the difference.

Actually, I have no grips about people who wants their food a certain way. Maybe cos I've been brought up to give that bit of extra service. However, there are extremes... just don't try doing this when there's like a full house. You seriously would not be able to get that bit of TLC you so care for.

 

Grips. There can be some cheeky customers...

 

"Sorry, you gave me the wrong change. I gave you a 20."

ME: "Oh, the money you gave me is still here on the counter. I've not put it back into the til yet."

 

*Brrring, brrring*

"Hi, I just want to make a complaint about the take-out. The food tastes horrible. The curries are too runny, and then there's peas in the fried rice."

ME: "Ok. Well, do you have any left, our drivers can come back and collect it for a replacement."

"Oh, well, it's eaten. I just want to make a complaint."

ME: "Pffff....!"

"Oh well, do tell us next time what you prefer, and we'll try and match that. It's standards to have peas in the fried rice. :rolleyes:"

(What do you expect us to do ? Do you want blood from us ? Sheesh...)

 

AND then there's a few con artists out there who does the usual fraud cheque thing. Which are usually caught out. Cos you end up knowing who these people are.
