The Controversial Good Boy Gone Bad

If you always have that kind of concept in your head, “Customer is always right”, then bear in mind that not everyone will agree with you on this, specifically those not so high class restaurants (kopitiam). If the chefs and waiters think that you’re some motherfuckers who need to be taught a lesson, then you better watch out for your FOOD! I’m not kidding. There are a few instances which made me learn that I cannot fuck with waiters or the chef.

• A customer walked up to the chef in the kitchen and yelled, “HEY, rumor has it that you guys are extremely slow, and it’s true!”. After the fella walked off, the chef poured the food in the wok on the floor, spat on it then put them back in the wok, re-fried the food then serve it to the fella. Do you even know what’s going on in the kitchen?

• Speaking about the waiters, usually the waiters get the scolding when the food is not delicious, the food is served late. Because it is their policy to put a smile on their face, it’s not their policy to verify if your food have some phlegm in it. And yes, some waiters are very vengeful, will you know if your coke has some spit in it?

• A friend of a friend of mine works in a restaurant before and she disclosed that the owner of the chicken rice stall wasn’t as hygienic as what everyone was expecting, they have to roast the chicken in the kitchen and then bring them out to hang on the stall, during the process, the chicken could have dropped onto the floor but they still pick it up (without cleaning) and serve to the customers. Speaking of ethics?

• Don’t we all love ICE? Iced lemon tea, Iced Coffee, in some restaurants, they had to smash the big ice cubes themselves and WORSE! Some do it near the toilet because they can use the water to wet the ice cubes so that it’s easier for them to crack it. So if your Iced Lemon Tea tastes sourish, it’s not necessarily from the lemon ok?

Then you ask, “HOW CAN THEY DO THIS?“, get real people, it’s either you be nice to them or you don’t go to that restaurant at all. But of course, NOT EVERY restaurant practices this, but to be on the safe side, why mess with them? Unless they have totally forgotten your order, otherwise just be nice and ask if your order is gonna be served soon or what.

Seriously though, if I have a customer who yells at me and I happened to be the chef, that’s it man. He’s gonna have a taste of cockroaches and lizards, why yell when you can talk nicely? You would have done that too right?
