So, we went out for dinner last night and low and behold the kids were well behaved!!! Gasp!!! But that isn't what this post is about. This post is about people who are always trying to get something for free...no, something is the wrong word because free things are good sometimes...the right word would be everything. This post is about people who are always trying to get everything for free.
The people we were sitting in front of at the restaurant were these kind of people. And I think I've seen them around town pulling their scam before. First there was one small thing wrong with one of the kids orders. Then it took too long to get the replacement out (not long at all, I was there watching). Then there was something else wrong and so on and so forth. They complained so much, and so rudely that the manager comped their meal. Okay, shit happens and meals get comped in restaurants but dang, do you have to be such a rude bi^%$ about it?
So things had seemed to calm down and they were eating away and complaining and bitching about everything (not just dinner, but life in general) Okay, by this point they were really getting on The Hubs' nerves. He worked in restaurants for many years and knew this scam inside out. Even my kids were getting annoyed at their loud bitching! And oh my did I feel sorry for the kids that were with them (two adult women). Those poor kids must have been mortified, but I can see them pulling the same thing in a few years unfortunately.
So as soon as the manager got busy again and the waitress came to check on them, they had another complaint (or twenty, who's counting). They asked for the manager again. By this time, The Hubs was about to jump out of his seat and beat the woman down! Okay not beat her, but give her a tongue lashing she wouldn't soon forget. These people ended up getting coupons for five free meals!!! (there were five total in the party).
Okay, it's one thing if you truly have bad service, bad food, bad experience to expect to have it made right, but come on they had absolutely nothing wrong with their food, or the service and they were so flippin rude about everything! One day at the same restaurant they had a cook go home in the middle of an order so ours took extra long to come out. We mentioned it POLITELY to a member of management and they gave us 20 percent off. Perfect! Everyone was satisfied and nobody made a scene.
How much do you want to bet when that 'family' goes out to eat there again, if there is a different management team on duty they will pull the same trick even with their free meal coupons? Yep, I can see it happening. I kinda hope I'm not there though because if I am, I might just have to say something. And at this point in my life I could care less what people think of me and boy oh boy would I have fun.
Until Next Time...free things are good, but scamming to get them is just wrong. If you have a legitimate complaint then by all means say something, but do it politely and if you still aren't satisfied be firm but not rude and then if you still aren't satisfied, take it higher or leave the situation and don't go back!
