Via Flickr Another day, another server in hot water for writing mean things on a restaurant customer's receipt. This is probably the first time we can remember with one of these stories where the customer seemed just as douchey, though. Via the Washington Post,
I mean in the first place, Americanized Chinese food isn't "the way it's done in China." Complaining about the authenticity of the bowl size when the entire meal is probably largely unrecognizable to the vast majority of native Chinese people is just asinine in the first place. For fuck's sake, the rice itself was probably the most authentic part. And what did they get to drink? Authentic Chinese coke or pepsi?
No - he died a while ago. Sam Wo's actually closed their original shithole (but authentic!) location and recently opened in a new spot. Not sure where, and I could probably google it, but I'm just too goddammed lazy.
It's not about them. They were wrong, and that's something for the staff to roll their eyes over and submit to blogs like the one formerly hosted here. But the staff screwed up, the managers screwed up, and the owner did the right thing.
Dealing with the public means dealing with morons and smiling about it. These hipsters ordered food, ate it, and paid. That they were snotty jerks means nothing in the end.
It was the owner of the chain that did the firing, and it came after previous instances of using the POS system to make cracks like this.
I support these firings. The managers were doing a terrible job of enforcing standards set by ownership. I learned leadership in the Army. When people you supervise screw up, it is your fault for not providing the leadership and oversight required. Even if you weren't present for the screw-up.
Heh. A friend took me to an authentic Mexican place in Manhattan. The server didn't understand a word of Spanish and couldn't pronounce the names of the dishes correctly.
Same thing for the pyramid complex at Giza. All the photos show the Sphinx and the pyramids in stark isolation. In reality Giza is a pretty big suburb of Cairo, and there's housing and shops just across a road. You also don't see the car parks, the cafes, and the souvenir stands that little the place.
Nope. There were multiple incidents involving waitstaff acting inappropriately and management letting it slide. Chang is laying down the law for his other managers. Do it right, or get out.
Cheers!
It's kind of racist when you put it that way isn't it? Like "those backward exotic foreigners! They're so strict on the weirdest shit ain't they?'
"pomade parade" I like that one! Going to have to save that one for later use.
Not that I recall, but then I have no idea what he looks like. I wish had, though, because he could've helped me with the menus.
你他妈的gwailo

And the Post wrote about this? I wouldn't have used this story when I was editing the country correspondence for the Raleigh Times in 1966. Sheesh
They might take away the stupid hat, though.

"I was totally into Chinese until they sold out and used simplified characters."

And people get fired all the time in the restaurant business. Turnover is expected, they can probably get another job easier than in some industries.
