To think this restaurant is slightly out of order?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Afternoon all.

Each week I eat the same meal at the same restaurant, same time, same day (same table if the winds blowing in the right direction ). This has been a routine for just over a year . I've become friendly with the staff - first name terms with a couple of the regulars.

Each week I leave one element of the meal. The last 3 ish times that I've visited I've been served this meal without this element. Hmm.

No one has ever mentioned it to me, or offered a reduction in cost or a replacement item.

AIBU to think that it isn't the restaurant's place to make this decision on my behalf?

That's utterly bonkers.

I wonder how much revenue he's lost?

Now where are the eggs on the plate? On the side or do they share the toast? Because if they are on the side they are taking up bean space and technically you could have more beans in that area so are the cafe are making cutbacks all over with your meal.

'Reciting the rosary'

That's a good one

There is a fab cafe in Grindleford. Everywhere - and I mean Everywhere are signs basically saying "Don't fuck with the menu!" "No fucking Swaps!" "Fuck off with your no tomato extra beans Shite!" "Our Menu is fucking huge - pick something from there. If not, fuck off."

Not quite that language but not far from it. And not passive aggressive. Just aggressive.

I luffs it.

Clearly they know your order. Just say, can I’ve extra beans instead of the second piece of toast please.?

A completely bonkers thread and, of course, it's Chaos

I do miss the repetition, though, could you not post a few more identical posts to prove it's you?

YABVU with your beans [bleurgh]. You need to move restaurants and have smoked salmon with your poached eggs.

FFS. I am going to have to make myself a fry up for dinner now.

This is one weird thread.

I think you’re ridiculous

A Chaos thread!

This makes me happy.

I don't like beans though.

And Maryz!

My cup runneth over

I normally always change or add something on my order. I will ask for extras mushrooms instead of beans for example.

How the hell can anyone (assuming you're not some squillionaire) afford to eat out every single night in a restaurant for all of eternity?!
misses point of thread
So you don't like the food that you leave, well you can't do otherwise you'd eat it.
So they've presumably been throwing the same thing in the bin every single night for weeks/months/years. Of course they'll not put it on your plate, as it just gets wasted otherwise!

Erm, I think it's weekly? And she takes her elderly dad.

I have coffee with my mum once a week, usually at the same place, usually with the same order. I don't eat the butter with my scone, but I'd be a bit miffed if they removed it and gave me a smaller scone.

I've been there curly. The chips and pints of tea are so fabulous it's worth the lack of customer service.

It's always busy and like think it's their way of dealing with people quickly and discouraging convaluted menu swaps.

Ask for the toast on the side, eat the beans, take the toast home and give it to an unfortunate duck.

No no no you can't ask for double beans as the price will go up!! The answer is to order two poached eggs and beans with a side order of one slice of toast.

But the restaurant don't have the right to make an executive decision on what’s she’s ordered.

If you’ve paid for it you should be able to receive it and do what you want with it.

Eat all of it

Eat some of it

Shove it down your pants

Have a meaningful conversation with it.

It’s your fucking food.

Six quid's worth of beans sounds like I'd rather be fat :-/

Have they got a microwave there for baby food? Take one of those pots of microwaveable Heinz beans, and heat it up in front of them next time they skank you on your haricots.

Erm, I think it's weekly? And she takes her elderly dad.

Oh, OK, I read it as every day or at least several times a week. Every week leaving the same food though for over a year or so - total waste of good food! Just say you want extra beans and one less slice of toast. It's not rocket science.

It was quite the talking point in our (very quiet) market town.

I imagine he lost a fair bit of income - they might be SW but they're not averse to the very regular odd slice of cake and a frothy coffee

Blimey, Chaos, Maryz and Honey all on one thread! All we need is Scottishmummy and all will be right with the world

trust nae fucker
