They're called Trash. They complain about every aspect of their meals, from the drinks, to the perfect service, to the desserts that have been made perfectly, to all the food that they try ordering that isnt even offered. Every time my own "Mr. Whim" comes in, he orders Spaghetti and Meatballs. We don't even have meatballs, nor will we roll up the pre patted burgers to make them for him, but he still tries it every week like it makes them real.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23451718.post-29428017952216075852007-09-25T12:39:00.000-07:002007-09-25T12:39:00.000-07:00Brat -Checking daily, and am really hoping for a n...Brat -<BR/>Checking daily, and am really hoping for a new story soon.

I always get stuck behind the yuppy looking businessman who thinks he's high and mighty because he's got a blue tooth and can rattle off his order for a full five minutes and then complains about it. <BR/><BR/>I'd flat out refuse service to him anymore, I mean most places say you have the right to refuse anyone service.
