would be rather gutted if they knew that us being polite and nice resulted in a £24 discount!!!
So we made a last minute booking for pizza express this evening - got there and i could sense the staff were a little flustered, maybe short staffed? Anyway, we sat down for our meals, no problems. We ordered and there were a few mistakes - our starters weren't brought before our meal, so they brought them during, they were very apologetic and said they wouldnt charge us. A bit confusing as we were using an offer, but anyway we decided we wouldnt use the code because it would work out about the same price with the free starters so we ordered desserts not on the offer menu - they brought the wrong one for DP, he was fine with it, but they brought him the one he ordered for free - he was pretty happy about that - we joked with the waitress and when it came to pay, she asked for the code, i said, "oh it all went a bit pete tong, we'll just take the free starters instead" but they let us use the code anyway and "fiddled with the bill" resulting in a saving of £24 - very happy bunnies 
Whilst we were sat down, a group of three women sat down and were generally dismissive and up themselves. Asked the guy for a taxi number - he said, ok, i'll get it for you - i was about to tell them a number as i know it by heart (on account of it being two numbers off my home number so i get a few late night calls) but i hushed myself shen she said to the guy "no, can you call the number for me" i made a 
face at DP and kept my mouth shut. Then their drinks were a bit late in coming - honestly the woman made the weirdest face when she announced to the waitress "we have not had our drinks, can you bring them now!" no please, no thank you - and generally a snidey tone of voice. Then at the end of the meal she asked for a box to put the two peices of pizza in that they had left over and the waitress brought the box over or her - said to just put in what they wanted. I swear the woman looked at this poor girl as if she had commited some sort of heinous crime - and told her to put it in the box for her - and made sarcastic comments about the size of the box compared to the size of the pizza. I did turn to DP and say "well, she wasn't going to get her hands dirty was she" I am pretty sure the sour faced cow heard. REally love, you are just not that special, you are not in a michelin starred resturant, you are in pizza fucking express. Even if you were in the bloody Ivy you should still be bloody polite to the people who are waiting on you.
So ha! Little Miss up yer own arse - i got £24 off my bill because i was nice - you got the full price, and the bums rush, beause you were a rude cunt! Yeah the service was a bit pants, but the staff were apologetic and rectified mistakes, so you really should have got over yourself shouldnt you - and yeah, i am feeling smugity smug smug!
AIBU?
To think that the rude and nasty cows sat next to us in pizza express this evening

You can always tell the real personality of someone by how they treat their waiter or waitress - this tip helped me rule out some potential dick heads in my dating past.
People like this are just small and pathetic and feel better about themselves by treating some poor underpaid restaurant staff like shit.
Don't worry - they probably spat in her food.

The only thing that went wrong with their meal though was that their drinks came out a bit late, other than that, it was fine. To be fair, ours was a catalogue of errors but as i explained the staff were apologetic and rectified things quickly so i didn't actually think the service was that bad tbh. I have eaten in some really expensive resturants in my time, although since DD its been weatherspoons mostly so anything seems like the ritz compareed to that
You sound a bit obsessed 
You don't know anything about these women or why they are acting that way.
