- Calling me to take their orders but no one has decided what they want or worse, have not even looked at the menu. (Don't waste my time, do you see 5 other tables hollaring for me?)
- Calling me over to the table then ignore me
- Saying you know the boss. (I reaaaaaaaalllyy don't care.)
- Asking for recommendation on beef, then order a fish after I had finished listing the popular beef dishes enthusiastically
- Complaining about long waiting time when you ordered 5 minutes ago (IF your food arrived straight after you ordered it, you might want to think twice about eating it)
- Asking for 6 glasses of iced water and leave 4 glasses UNTOUCHED. (Hi, water is precious, so is our time)
- Using a $1000 bill to pay for... a cup of coffee. Sorry madam/sir, but we usually don't have enough cash float to give you the change. So no matter how much you scream and shout, we have no means of accepting that humongous $1000 bill. That is, unless you order 100 more cups of coffee? (Assuming the coffee cost $10.00, RIP OFF!!!)
- Ignoring our warm greetings and pretend we don't exist (where are your manners? We have feelings too... and we are very sensitive people... what if we start tearing up?)
- Taking your own sweet time to decide while we stand beside your table looking like an idiot. (Linked to point 1 & 2)
- Saying "Customers are always right". No, that saying had long expired. (If you were ALWAYS right, all of us will be out of jobs.)
- Cancelling your order after 15 minutes simply because you changed your mind. (How am I suppose to explain to the chef who are already preparing your food without getting scolded?)
- Going to a bar and ask for coffee/going to a cafe and ask for whiskey. (You get the drift)
- Assuming we came from your country and speak to us in your mother language we don't understand
- Throwing a fit when we say we don't accept foreign currency (it really means we CAN'T). Doesn't matter even if it's US Dollars (Unless you are willing to go with our exchange rate of US$1 = S$1. But a US$100 tip? Oh yes please!)
- Make a reservation then decide that another restaurant seems more promising. Don't not turn up and did not cancel.
- Calling us rude when we were really just being firm
- Asking for extra condiments when you had barely touched those on your table
- Bringing food from other places and asking for utensils to eat them. (It's against the rules. I'm not saying no just because I'm angry you're not spending money, then I have to clear your mess...)
- Clearing up a huge mess. (People eating like barbarians, food all over the table. Aren't you even embarrassed?)
- Asking for lots of customized dishes/special orders. (If you're not going to order off the menu, why did you come?)
- Don't fucking Dine and Dash. Pay up. That "Oh sorry we forgot" is not going to earn you any sympathy looks.
- Don't whistle/clap your hands/make kissy noises to get my attention. (Unless you're really clinically retarded, then it's fine)
- Grabbing things off my tray. Or worse, grabbing my tray. If I drop anything on you, I'm not paying for dry cleaning. (the cups and dishes on my tray are strategically placed for my own sense of balance.)
Bottom line, if you don't want people doing it to you, have some common sense not to do it to others. We wait staff are very united against customers who are assholes.
This guy is my hero.
