Is it normal for a waiter to be so impudent?!
Answers: I was dining at the Ritz recently, and ordered oeuf de quail with truffles, haricots blancs with a tomato coulis, fine layers of grilled pork belly, and julienned crispy potatoes. The waiter placed the plate before me and said "enjoy your egg, bacon, mushrooms and baked beans with chips, Madam". Where did he think we were, the Hilton?!
What else would you expect at the Ritz these days?
Frankly you would be better off at the Little Chef ...or whatever it is that Anthony Worral Thomson calls himself these days.
i hope you stiffed him.
He should be flayed for serving that meal with mushrooms.
I hate when that happens, as it often does to moi. Paupers I say.
take him home and give him a good seeing to-that'll learn 'im
I had the same sort of experience in an establishment called 'The Greasy Spoon' Cuthbertson soon gave him a lesson in manners with a deft chop to the throat six whacks with his knuckle dusters and a tickle or two with his personally monogrammed flick knife. The waiter had the temerity to say that this sort of behaviour was not the done sort of thing at the Ritz.
Sadly I think I may have had the same waiter ( so to speak )
I ordered a whisky the other day....... he asked if I wanted ice.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it ?
I understand the Ritz is now under foreign ownership..............
The agony................... and is frequently taken over by the so called celebrities.
One a thin rake of a girl, spoke with probably the worst accent I ever heard was in the salon. Kept blithering on about her children "brooklyn" (and some other horror no doubt,) and "her David" Swanned around as if she owned the place, gauded out in "bling" ( whatever that is ) and wore something made by Couchee. Truly a ghastly woman......
Helped her to trip down the stairs........ so thin though I thought she'd snap in two.
She asked what i do......... I said "try to ignore the idiots in here", she found that rather amusing ( not realising it was aimed at her )
She replied " have you seen my paps ", to which I responded " theyre so small you could be forgiven for losing them , besides I prefer a bigger cup".
This is just a suggestion but pehabs you shouldn't be so pompous!
