Tales of Douchebaggery #1

The first in a series of recountings of douchebag behavior. This one comes from the restaurant world...where many will come from.

My Russian manages a restaurant and is rich with these tales. We are both convinced people are socially devolving...becoming more rude, self-centered and stupid.

A tale of Two Douchebags.

Last week...two women came into Russian's restaurant...loaded down with shopping bags. And when the server came to their table...they demanded to know what they could get for free. They became so rude that the young, female server was reduced to tears and went to get Russian for help. They two ladies wound up getting bread and water. And demanded refills.

Yep...these two went into a business establishment...in the business of selling food...and demanded to be given something for free. And sat for 90 minutes...during the busy lunch rush taking up a booth that could have been filled with paying customers.

Oh yes, they also complained about the service on their way out. And didn't leave a tip.

==================

I can't even get into the mindset of a person who goes into a business and demands freebies. Aggressively demands freebies. And expects the staff to be happy about it and to cater to them.

I wonder why the restaurant complied with them? Bad word of mouth I guess??

They don't really have a choice. It's one of a chain and the rules are set by the corporate admin.
