to complain about a noisy waitress?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Picture the scene:

Lovely lunch, great(ish) company, dome serious catching up to do. Hours of free time - the pire unadulterated pleasure of being with a friend and setting the world to rights in a quality environs. And the anticipationof lovely pudding. Should be utter bliss, right?

Bloody waitress used any exuse to clatter, throw chairs under tables, rattle cutlery and generally clomp around.

It quite spoiled the meal and the minor perving of a z list sleb.

WIHBU to complain? I didn't, as I'm a wuss - but it spoiles what should have been a grand couple if hours. Customer service is paramount in this day and age, innit, when f urns are struggling?

Sounds like she was just doing her job?

Complain to whom? Why didn't you ask her to keep it down when you were there? I don't really understand why, if it irked you so much, that you didn't just ask her for a little peace to catch up. It seems cowardly to complain after the event.

I would have done things to wind her up, like leave your chairs out or leave a mess on the table.

You were there too long and she was trying to get rid of you.

WHat JOules said, and emphatically not what Marmalade said.

Or maybe it wasn't very busy and she was trying to keep busy and occupied instead of stood round doing nothing?

Pressure from managers etc?

Am I the only one who is going to ask the important question here?

Which z list sleb?

Who was the sleb?

X post!

Get a grip.

Sounds a bit precious to me!

Marms, what a fine idea, why didn't I think of that?

To all you others - really? Don't you think somefinesses should be displayed?

Do you mean finesse? If so, well how many Michelin stars did this restaurant have?

Was it at the end of lunch service? If so she wanted you to leave. Having worked in the hospitality industry for yonks I know it is not impossible to perform all the tasks you have described with out disturbing guests, in fact a key part of the job is to perform these tasks with out guests actually noticing.

I actually think she was a frustrated shot putter. The way she flung the chairs back in was NOT a joy to behind.

Sorry so many tipos in you op and other post I think you are a bit merry!!!! Probably why the waitress thought you were a pita and wanted to go home.

Z list celebrity? Oh dear my dear!

How many other diners were present? What price range are we talking?

ignore [moribund] I feckling meant [doldrums]

sorry, everl

chaos - please pm me the name of the sleb - dying of curiosity here!

If you were unhappy why didn't you complain at the time?

Was it Callum Best? I always think of him for some reason when people mention z-listers.

Callum Best wishes he were as high as z-list!
