I once got a burger and there was a washer on the plate. It was obvious that it must have just fallen onto it from a pocket or something. I just noted to the waiter to make sure it wasn't actually a part of something. My ex-wife got angry at me that I didn't make a bigger deal out of it and should have gotten my meal for free.

How does a washer fall on a plate in the first place? Isn't that the part under the screw and bolt? What happened to the screw and bolt?

The thing I wonder is why all the rock radio stations around me play Cumbersome by Seven Mary Three so much. Like where is the demand for that song even coming from?

therattle posted:I am a strong believer in the waiter test: if someone is rude to waiters they are a bad person, even if they are nice to you. I occasionally complain about something, but always very politely. I don't se what's so hard about treating other people like humans. The other day I offered the street sweeper outside our house a drink because it was hot; he said it was the second time in four years that anyone had done that. My wife and I went out to dinner with a friend of hers last night, and that friend ripped the waitress to loving shreds because she brought the wrong salad dressing out for her side salad. Full-blown three-minute rant about how she must be incompetent, did she even go to school, yadda yadda. When we got home I told my wife that if she ever suggests that we go out with that person again, I'm moving out. That was actually the friend who introduced us to each other thirteen years ago.

Magic Hate Ball posted:I once had a guest's husband basically shout her down for trying to hand me her own credit card. "NO! I HAVE THIS!" It's even better when they just talk right loving past them and tell you explicitly, "Don't take her money." Like, I'm just supposed to follow your orders? I'm just supposed to know instinctively that what your girlfriend wants is out of the question? What makes me feel even more pathetic about it is that I usually do end up taking the guy's payment method, either because it's more expedient to get them out the door and move onto other customers, or because the girlfriend finally gives up either out of exasperated indignity or because they're still young and naive enough to find that sort of possessive bullshit cute. Just last week was the first time I'd been in that situation and just straight out told the guy in the calmest way possible, "It's not a big deal." He wasn't upset or anything, he actually seemed rather pleased that I had actually sided with her, and me and her had a nice little exchange about the importance of feminism and the need for more allies. Gave me the feels.

My guests at least have the excuse of usually being elderly, though we do have an insufferable mid-30s nerd staying with us with his hassled Asian wife and he's constantly sniping at her. I think he's literally revolted by the idea of women having agency.

We all know it's because a customer made a comment to a friend about Star Wars which triggered a five-minute rant from you about different philosophies regarding determinism and free will in the Empire compared to the rebels. It included the following words: Diegesis Ontologically Agency Parse Comparatively Syncretic Pinguid Actually Opposite Interpretation True Relatively Moiety

He may not have. Sometimes voices kinda blend into each other. I'll try and do a New Zealand accent, and somehow it ends up into Borat territory.  Voice stuff is weird.

1) Don't do funny voices in front of customers 2) Don't talk poo poo in front of customers in a foreign language. Especially if that language is Spanish and you're in California, no matter how white you think they are.

Having now caught up with all of Twin Peaks, I feel pretty confident in saying that Fire Walk with Me is the high-water mark of the entire franchise so far and second only to Eraserhead in Lynch's filmography. (IMHO)

At the time it all seemed so innocent. I was never rude to customers, I was just going out of my mind with boredom. The vast majority of people didn't even respond to it at all, they didn't care or notice - and the ones who did tended either to play along or seemed to actually be convinced that I really was that character and, like, asked me questions about where I was from and what my family was like. It was awesome. The funny thing is that I didn't even do it particularly often. I was Ringo from Liverpool for the two hour tail end of my shift once, and I was Lester from Tennessee for, like, two days because it was easier. I was Llewyn for maybe an hour once, but I gave it up within two weeks 'cause the novelty wore off and, you know what, surprise surprise, acting is exhausting in itself. But I guess even once is enough to provoke a misunderstanding. Lesson learned. Good news: my big brother is visiting this weekend and so I'm finally gonna be getting some weed again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cfs-VKszS8

Timby posted:Why the hell would you do this? Because I like voice acting? And as for the Delivery thing, what did he grab the wrong order? Or was the pizza wrong? If the pizza was wrong, that isn't his fault. I've had people gently caress up orders I had to take and only found out later. I'd look at the pizza, and it looked right, but then I'd find out they used the wrong meat or sauce. Something not so easy to see when you have piles of cheese and such on it. Plus, you gotta jet, because people get pissed if the order takes a while.

Also never have fun with customers unless they do something first. Like in an ideal world, people wouldn't care but some people are awful and relish the idea of complaining because it makes them feel powerful and they hope for free stuff.

I once forgot a drink, was too far away to go back, stopped at a store and got a drink with my own money, got there and realized I had bought the wrong size and profusely apologized and returned their tip.
