/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I have a friend who, for some reason, always orders the "exception" food at a restaurant--you know, the dishes that aren't part of their specialty but they keep on the menu children and picky eaters--and then complains that the restaurant wasn't very good. For example:

>go to seafood restaurant, on the coast. you can see the fishing boats from the dining room window. all sorts of great fish on the menu, all caught that day.
>he orders a hamburger

>go to gourmet hamburger restaurant where you select your meat from the display case, then they grind it and make your patty to-order
>he orders chicken salad

>go to Mexican restaurant
>orders pizza

Only ever worked at a McDonalds (Airport McDonalds, one of the busiest in the country, dealing with customers with food vouchers who are angry at their flight being delayed)

Burning my hands on fries brought back for being too cold

People who get angry that we'll only heat up their babyfood (for free) and not give them a cup of boiling water for them to do it (so they can spill it or overheat the food then sue the company).

Grown men shouting at 17 year old girls until they're visibly shaking (pretty rare for customers to get that angry, police walking around with rifles tends to prevent them getting that angry).

Tell a customer that apple pies take 15 minutes to cook. They say that's ok. 5 minutes later they come back, demand to talk to the manager to ask why it isn't ready yet.

>>4299080
>complaining customers
Just about every black person I've ever served.

>>4299162
>Grown men shouting at 17 year old girls until they're visibly shaking

Scum

>>4299226
Incompetent 17 year old detected.

>>4299230
You can do better than that.

>>4299162
>and not give them a cup of boiling water for them to do it

What the fuck am I reading? So they want a drink cup filled with boiling water so they can stick the baby food jars in it? WTF?

I've had a few bad experiences with waiters over the years, but nothing, NOTHING as bad as when I've gone out to eat with rude or demanding people, or people who treat restaurant staff like their own personal slaves. That is so fucking embarrassing. I've known three people who do this, and I refuse to go out to eat with them. I don't want to be publicly associated with people who don't know how to treat people with dignity and respect. That's just something that should apply to life in general.

>>4299273

Exactly.

>>4299293
I had a friend like this. I walked out after apologizing to the waitress and giving her a great big tip. Never spoke to that fucker again.

>>4299273

Pretty much, it's been ingrained here in Britain that every food place must heat your baby food purchased elsewhere for you.

They don't want to leave the food with you, so they ask for a cup of hot water to heat it up.

Coffee cups aren't big enough for most jars and the wax on drinking cups melts.

They got really grumpy when eventually we forced them to leave their food with use to heat.

>>4299297
>>4299293

People who snap their fingers at waiters...

Fuck that rude shit.

>>4299297
Ugh. I know. I shouldn't have to apologize for someone's behavior that I'm dining with. I also shouldn't have my own dinner ruined by their shit behavior. It's fucking embarrassing. Anyone who does that around me is automatically off my list.

>>4299304
I was at a fancy restaurant and some rich dude grabbed a server's elbow and yanked him over to demand more booze as the server was walking over to another table with a pitcher of water to refill their glass.

The server did a good job of masking his rage but I could see it as he was heading back behind the bar.

I would have been tempted to accidentally dump the pitcher on that douchebag's lap.

>>4299303

I've never heard or seen anyone in america ever try that crap. Seems like a weird britishism.

>>4299136
I never understood why those items were on the menu.

Now I know who exactly orders a pizza at a Mexican joint.

My mom can't eat shellfish or a lot of seafood (severe allergies), so when she goes out with everyone to seafood restaurants she gets a burger or chicken. I never have understood why she doesn't at least get tilapia, which she likes and can eat.

When I still saw my grandmother occasionally, she'd go into a Mexican place and ask for them to remove all peppers from everything. Sort of defeats the point.

when i was a barista a guy once ordered a latte, after i made it and rang him up he asked for a bag to put it in. he was holding it so i gave him a paper bag and then got to watch as he tried to put his drink in the bag SIDEWAYS while screaming at me and telling me i was an idiot because i couldn't make coffee that would stay in his cup (and the cup lids were defective for having holes in them)

the whole tantrum lasted for about 15 minutes (during which i offered to put the latte in the bag for him) and i called a manager in cuz there was nothing i could do to make the guy go away.

>>4299374

Same here. I figure that if you don't want mexican, or seafood, or steaks then you wouldn't go to a mexican, seafood, or steakhouse restaurant. If you don't like the style of food that they serve, of if you can't eat it for reasons of allergies or similar then why would you go there in the first place?

If you get dragged to such a restaurant as part of a business group or something then maybe you have little choice but to order something like that...but in that case is it really surprising that the food isn't that great? I mean, why would someone expect a Mexican place to serve good pizza or that a seafood restaurant would have good hamburgers?

>>4299671
I used to be a manager at a coffee place at a shittypart of town.
When this type of bahaviour happened 9/10 it's a type of shakedown scam.
When you talk to them about what they really want it always comes back to money.
We had a gang of rowdy niggers that would come in every single day and would pool all their money together to buy one coffee and claim to find pubes or band aids or even putting a whole Kleenex in there, then disrupting customers and demanding money as compensation.
In the end the only solution was to call the police and tell them they were openly dealing drugs in the store

>>4300000
thats hardly a solution seeing as filing a false police report is a "serious" crime

>>4300000
>In the end the only solution was to call the police and tell them they were openly dealing drugs in the store
Perfect solution. Also nice get.

>>4299162

Fucking O'Hare man. I hate people who have the angriest look on their face for the breakfast.

Working as a server at the Louisville Ruth's Chris a few years ago over the summer I had a "Raw Foodist" make a scene with one of my co-workers that they only had salad and raw green beans available for them. Everyone knew from the moment she walked in that she was gonna be an issue. Tie-dyed.... mumu or whatever it was and a shaved head with big flapper style pearlstrings. Loudest person in the whole place and was shaming a guy out on the balcony for smoking before she was seated.

ANYWAY, when she gets brought out a plate of raw veggies (Lettuce, onion, tomatos, radishes, green beans, etc) screams at Steven (the waiter) "NO YOU FUCKING DIDN'T". You could've heard a mouse fart in there. The other person dining with her is telling her to calm down, shhhh, and all that shit while she's just flaming at anyone nearby. People are looking out of the kitchen and everything. Manager comes trotting in from the balcony and the franchisee's rep all crowd around the table trying to calm her down until they just tell her to get out. She's screaming jibberish by the time they get to the elevator to go back down when LPD greet them at the bottom. The lobby security guard said the police told her she was on PCP but that doesn't jive with my own experience and frankly you don't see hippys "gettin wet" very often.

>>4300126
Oh ya and John Schnatter was there that night with some family in the private dining room and even they came out to see the commotion. Funny shit

Back when I was a server in a small german restaurant, we had a woman who flipped out over a small chip in her plate (the chip was underneath the rim), and started screaming that she wanted her meal for free because of it. The manager told her there was no way she was going to get the meal free, first of all, because she ate it all before complaining, and secondly just NO. The woman threatened to walk out, and the manager told her that if she walked out, she'd chase her down the sidewalk while we called the cops. Every table in the place was fixated on that situation, and then I had customers complain that the woman's tantrum ruined their lunch, so I gave them free dessert just so I wouldn't have to deal with anymore drama. That lunch shift was just great fun :(
People are fucking assholes.

>>4300081
>implying they don't all have warrants anyways

i would expect as much from the board that is nothing but "WHO'S DRINKING ALONE INFRONT OF A COMPUTERSCREEN TONIGHT!??"

>>4300237

You heard it here first folks, well done steak is best steak.

>>4300238

I took my girlfriend out to eat at a burger joint that we used to go to every month or so. We both order burgers, well-done. After the food arrives, we start eating. The girlfriend stops after a bit and says that hers tastes weird. She shows me, and there's red ooze coming out of the burger. I call over the waitress, but the girlfriend gets embarrassed that I'm going to ask about it. I tell the waitress what's going on and we show her the burger, and even she said that she wouldn't eat it and offered to get a replacement. The girlfriend refuses. Shortly after, the manager comes over and asks about it, and again, I tell her what's wrong. The manager said she'll refund the burger if we don't want to get a replacement. The girlfriend refuses and continues to munch on the oozing mess before asking for a box to keep the rest for later. mfw.

Needless to say, we don't date anymore.

>>4300287
So, you won't date people that like raw beef? THAT'S what's weird here.

>>4300292
>Is okay with eating raw burgers
>Is okay with not getting what he orders
>Calls other people weird

>>4300297
Dude, just because she liked her rare burger better than the well-done she ordered isn't fucking weird. It means she found something else she liked better. What the fuck is wrong with you? Do you only eat the same foods you've like for the past decade? Or do you try new foods to see if you like them? Or are you just dead inside?

>>4300297
If it tastes good, who gives a shit? Some people don't like to cause a raucous everywhere they go.
If she didn't want to say anything about the burger, don't say anything about the burger. You sound like a total prick.
>>4300287
>embarrasses gf then breaks up with her
classy as fuck.

I really don't have any specific stories, but impatient customers piss me the fuck off. Most of the product we serve at my shitty concessions window is fastfood-style, but it's at least re-heated to order.

We'll have people order, and then promptly shuffle fifteen feet over to postup on the pickup counter and berstare at the pass-through. Chicken wings take 7 minutes to fry on a good day; a whole pizza takes at least 12. They'll just stand there glowering until they get their fix.

>>4300287
>>4300297
Sounds like you don't know how to cook a good burger. Medium at the most.

>>4300323
>I dont know how to grind my own meat
>FTFY

>>4300338
I have no idea what you're trying to say. Please come back to /ck/ when you learn that overcooked meat is bad.

>>4300345
>I have no idea what you're trying to say. Please come back to /ck/ when you learn that overcooked meat is bad.
I am saying that if you grind your own meat you do not have to cook it past med rare you illiterate.

>>4300346
Oh my bad. By "medium at the most" I meant that anything above it e.g., medium rare, rare, blue rare was better, and that medium was on the edge of taking it too far. I never cook a burger past medium rare.

>>4300287
>>4300292
>>4300308
>>4300311
>>4300323
Holy shit, I have never seen a bigger bunch of retards in one thread before. Honest.

She wasn't enjoying it. She clearly said that it tasted weird. What the guy is trying to say is that she got an incorrect order, was embarrassed to say anything about it, and was being too modest to accept another order or refund. She wouldn't stand up for herself or even accept correction for being wronged.

I would have dumped her, too. Weird as fuck.

>>4300356
I would bet you cash money that if you went and checked on that chick nowadays, she eats rare beef all the time. Bitch was enjoying it.

>>4300356
This, how fucking stupid are your guys?

Everyone knows that timid overly accommodating person who will insist that nothing's wrong when they really do have a problem.


>>4300368
>Bitch was enjoying it

That must be why she said it was weird and couldn't force herself to finish it then, right?

>>4300381
She said it was weird after the first bite, and then started to enjoy it. Clear proof is that she took the leftovers home. If she hated it, she would have left the rest on her plate.
>Bitch was enjoying it
Yep.

>>4300396
You are seriously stupid. If she enjoyed it, she would've finished it.

She was too timid to complain, and after all that fuss, she couldn't possibly leave it on the table or throw it away in front of the waitress/manager.


For being on 4chan you sure suck at spaghetti spotting.

>>4299136
>go to seafood restaurant, on the coast. you can see the fishing boats from the dining room window. all sorts of great fish on the menu, all caught that day.
>he orders a hamburger

I did this as a kid, I look back and want to punch myself.

Customer says he's trying to decide, asks about the garden burger. We have a discussion about various types of burger substitutes and the fact that ours has no tofu in it. Says I'll have the burger. I order it for him, bring it over and go check other tables. Come back and dude is halfway through the sandwich, in response to my asking how everything is he says "Is this the hamburger? It doesn't quite taste right," :facepalm: I'm sorry sir, I must have misunderstood when we were having the conversation about the garden burger and you said you'd have the burger I assumed that's what you meant.

That's honestly the worst complain I've had in the past six months unless you count the guy who said I made the worst martini he's ever had. Turns out his idea of a martini was chilled gin with olives.

>this food has no taste

Not really a complaint, but a stupid customer I had while working at a fish and chips shop.
>Lady: "I'm very allergic to dairy, can you accommodate that?"
>Me "We'll do our best, but we can't make any guarantees as we do handle dairy in the kitchen"
>Lady: "That's fine. Can I get grilled salmon and salad?"
>Me: "Sure, how would you like it grilled? And what kind of dressing would you like?"
>Lady: "Hmm..can I get my salmon grilled in garlic butter, and get bleu cheese dressing?"
>Me: "...Ma'am, do you know that both of those are dairy?"
>Lady: "Do you question all of your customers like this? I know what I fucking ordered, just give it to me you bitch!"
>Me: "Erm...that'll be $10.95..."

She spoke to the manager after, and he just told her not to come back. It was pretty awesome.

>>4300368
>>4300396

You dumb

>>4300427
SHE didn't make a fuss. Her fucknut boyfriend made the fuss. He caused a scene, no wonder she was embarrassed.

>>4300465
Obviously the core concept of the situation that occurred has evaded you, just stop.

>>4300000
nice quints, man

>>4300473
No, the core concept is that some dickshit thinks he knows what everyone wants, when he should step back and let people make their own decisions.

> Grown men shouting at 17 year old girls until they're visibly shaking

I've seen this before. What fucking cunt of a man actually does this?

I'm sorry your marriage is failing and your children hate you, but pick on someone your own size. And while you're at it, pick on someone who can defend themselves without risking losing their job.

>>4300495
What about when 17 year old girls scream at middle-aged men who are in service positions until they cry? Because that shit happens too.

>>4300499
Shouting at ANYONE in public is beyond reprehensible. Any civilized person wouldn't do that.

>>4300508

Shouting at anyone is reprehensible, period. Public or not.

>>4300525
No. It's halfway acceptable shout at people where there is a pressing and immediate need for them to do something and you can't waste time explaining things to them. Examples are any military in the world, those god-awful kitchens Gordon Ramsey manages to find, and you and your 4 year old when she tries to poke a coat-hanger into a power point.

>>4300533
You forgot to mention that authority figures may need to shout sometimes to assert their authority. Actual kitchens are so loud that you have to shout to be heard. Front of house though, you NEVER raise your voice, even if a customer is shouting.

>>4300533
are you trying to say that shouting at someone makes them understand things quicker?

>>4300308
>>4300292
I think it had less to do with her eating a rare burger, and more to do with her fear of asking for a replacement or refund. If you weren't being shitty about it, and just asking nicely there's no reason not to request the burger be cooked better or refunded.

I've never had that problem because I eat damn near anything that is considered food, but I wouldn't understand someone refusing all this.

>>4300751
should also mention that I wouldn't dump a girl for something like this, but I would definitely ask her about it in private at some point.

>>4300751
You'll never get through to this board full of dense fucks who are more concerned with their le manly le rare le burgers le pleblebebb le bullshittery, so don't even try. It's not worth your sanity.

I'm an IHoP line cook and some bitch once sent her over well eggs back three times, first time for being undercooked, second time and third times for being overcooked. Finally ordered them scrambled. Manager bitched at me about it but the server told me the woman is a regular who does that every time she comes in

>>4299162
>>4299162
You can't even give it to them in a coffee cup with the lid warning that says "this is fucking hot"?

pic unrelated

I took my dad to Red Lobster on his birthday, and he ordered something, and as the waitress was walking away he said "Hey bitch, I need another glass of lemonade." It was so embarrassing, everyone in the god damn restaurant stared at us. He just smiled at me and said, "See how assertive I am? You should try to be assertive, like me."
I wish I had died right then.

I want to agree with you, but I once went to a Mediterranean place and ordered a burger and onion rings. They were the best I've ever had. I wanted to cry when I bit the first onion ring. And the burger was a beef/lamb mix. Both were amazing, but I only ordered them to be "that guy".

>>4301133

Lamb and beef/lamb burgers are actually a staple food here in the Mediterranean region.

>>4301179
so make it.
one part beef ground
one part lamb ground
shallot, parsley, pepper, salt
optionally glaze with saffroned egg yolk
pan-fry or grill. hot plate works too

be yesterday at the Deli I work at

Guy orders a roast beef sandwhich with extra horseradish, his wife gets a grilled chicken sandwich with 4 cups of ranch. (fucking southerners and drowning everything in ranch)

Guy sends his RB sandwich back because the horseradish wasn't spread evenly, at was too hot.
Bitch complains that sandwich had less meat than normal (impossible, chicken steaks are preformed and exactly the same)
They complain the ranch isn't the same as it normally is (also impossible)

If you can't stand the heat, dont order extra horseradish

>>4301197
Looks easy enough to try. Thank you.

>>4301213
you're welcome. Just don't put MUCH shallot - the water might make your burger taste a bit like boiled instead of, you know... lardy goodness
and remember, the more you knead it, the springier it gets. you want a compromise between elasticity and softness - not so soft that it falls off the fork, not so springy that it bounces around when you try to stick a fork in it sideways

>>4300930
i hope your dad gets cancer

>>4301197

>pan-fry or grill. hot plate works too

Don't you dare. A lamb burger needs to be grilled in order to be fully appreciated. Preparing it any other way is a waste of perfectly good lamb.

Also, 50/50 burgers are middle-of-the-road compromises for people who can't handle a strong taste of lamb. Man up and make that fucker from 100% lamb.

>>4300930
what an asshole
people get kicked out of my restaurant permanently for talking to our waitresses like that

hopefully ya'll left a huge tip to make up for it

>>4301231
> 50/50 burgers are middle-of-the-road compromises
yep. exactly why I recommended it to a first-timer
also, glazing on the grill is impossible, hence my recommendation of pan-fry
as I set it up, it won't necessarily be perfect, especially if, as you say, anon doesn't use a grill, but it WILL be decent food every time - or so I hope

Working in Chinese food place taking orders
My brother was taking the call

This one lady asked for a lunch special but she specifically told my brother if we can mix the white rice with sweet and sour sauce and no extra charge, we were both disgusted at the thought of it but oh well customers are always right so we put it through and had to tell our dad to specifically mix it and even he was telling me what the fuck is wrong with some white people. After he delivered the vile mess to the lady she called right back and complained about how there's some disgusting sweet and sour rice she had in her order. We told he she ordered it herself and she just cursed us out.
Man I wish we had a phone recorder so we can just slam that bitch's argument on the floor.

>>4300149
>customers complain that the woman's tantrum ruined their lunch

Wow. Just wow. How the fuck is that your fault?

I've got a friend who I won't go out to eat with any more because he's embarrassing to be around at a restaurant.

He's not rude to the wait staff or anything, but he's the cheapest motherfucker I've ever met, and without fail, every single time I've ever been out to eat with him, he finds (or makes up) something to complain about to try to get his meal for free.

I've seen him order a well-done steak, then when it gets there, he tells the waiter he ordered it medium rare, but he doesn't have time for them to take it back because he has somewhere to be so can they take it off the check.

I've seen him pretend to have an allergic reaction to something in the food so the restaurant is afraid he'll sue and give him his food free.

I've seen him try to swat a fly so he can put it in his (3/4 eaten) food and get it free.

I've talked to him about it several times, and even offered to pay when we go out, and his response is generally something like "Why should you pay when we can get it free".

So I just don't go anywhere to eat with him now.

>>4301240
I hate it when a customer makes such a big fuss that other people start complaining and demanding free shit.
My boss honestly just bans the original customer for life for disturbing the peace.

That seems all fine and good till they walk back in a week later, and we demand that they leave as they've been permanently banned from the restaurant. In the last year we've had two assaults on our boss from these customers. both people went to jail.
Mfw my boss has been a local and a recognized community leader for like 60 years.

>>4301248
Sounds like you have the kind of boss everyone should have.

>I came to 4chan directly via the blue boards to experience the vibrant culture of anonymous risk-tolerant online discourse

Yeah and I bet you only drink alcoholic beverages for the taste, too.

>>4301280
>>t was so hot it melted and fused the flesh in her groin.

That's impossible. Remember chemistry and/or physics class? Water boils at 100C. Coffee is 99% water. Therefore coffee cannot be any hotter than that or it would boil and become steam. 100C can certainly scald someone, but it sure as hell cannot "melt" or "fuse" flesh. What you describe simply cannot happen.

>>4301210

I hate that shit, when I worked at Long John Silvers as a cook I would always get these sorts of complaints.

>This doesn't taste the way it usually does, did they change the slaw recipe.

No that's just how it fucking tastes. And the fish never taste different either, you just ordered chicken.

>>4301326
> What you describe simply cannot happen.
I will take "what is water superheated in a microwave oven" for 4 million dollars please Alex.

>>4301332
Super heating requires either high pressure or a very clean vessel with no bumps or scratches for steam to form on, if the coffee had been superheated it would have explosively boiled when poured into the cup.

Even if the woman did suffer horrible injuries, it was not from water above 100C

(not the guy you were replying to btw)

>>4301336
> if the coffee had been superheated it would have explosively boiled when poured into the cup.
if the coffee is boiled, filtered, poured into a cup, left to sit on the counter and THEN microwaved, it can happen
having read reports from the time, I think some asshole did just that, but never came clean, for obvious reasons.

>>4301345

just stop

>>4301401

I've reproduced it to my satisfaction, using just a plastic cup, some coffee.a microwave oven and a thermometer

>>4301414
I can understand superheating water for fun, but why coffee? (unless you were working on the lawsuit or something)

>>4301426
I read about the lawsuit and it sounded odd, the amount of damage, just as you say
so this idea came and I tested it. I had one of those horrible percolator filter things at work, in the staff mess.

>>4301426

>I can understand superheating water for fun, but why coffee?

there is supposedly a counterpart to the mainselard reaction from searing meat flesh. the idea is, the coffee cells burst only if super heated, and you get more and different taste.

I'd have thought that the liquid would explosively boil when disturbed - like taking it out of the microwave. At least that's what I've been told would happen - not having a spare microwave I haven't tried myself.

I apologize for green text, but I kept getting too "wordy" otherwise. I figured you'd rather this than a wall of text.

>Girlfriend is from the south, head down there once a year to visit her family
>We ended up in some small town in NC, visiting her cousins
>One of them refused to go out "so late" (about 7PM) to another town, so we ended up eating at the only sit-down place in town
>Chilis
>On a friday
>It was crammed, mostly with the 20-30 age bracket
>We got seated by the bar
>Loud as shit
>We start joking, there's a few light swears being passed around
>I end up saying "fuck" in conversation
>Less than 30 seconds later, a landwhale from about four booths back, approaches our table
>Southern as shit, dressed in a light blue dress with a white sash
>Looked like a large part of the sky had escaped and gone out to eat dinner
>"Now, I know y'all just swore! You can't do that, my BABY is here!"
>Going on and on, leaning against our table, loud enough that everyone can hear
>She finally leaves
>Our waitress, who was about 17 and apparently was untrained for whale attacks, comes over
>Apologizes profusely, tells us our drinks are free
>Conversation resumes, a few minutes later someone tells a mildly dirty joke, and one of her cousins whispers;
>"Don't say that, her precious Christian baby will hear."
>Despite the distance, her enormous beefmoon husband in a bulging wool suit comes by
>"My 'christian baby' can hear your ENTIRE conversation", so on
>Literally yelling
>Manager comes by, escorts him back to his booth
>Can still hear them yelling back there
>"WE WANT A FREE MEAL EVERYTHING HAS BEEN RUINED BY THEM"
>Manager is trying to get them to shut up, telling them that they're being the nuisance
>Eventually he needs to threaten to call the police to get them to leave because they will not stop screaming
>Apparently they didn't pay, left some sort of mess on the table
>Police were outside when we left
>We got a mostly free meal

I still don't understand that night.

>>4301501
>I'd have thought that the liquid would explosively boil when disturbed
if it's disturbed enough, yes
I'd advise against testing this at home though

>>4301310
It does if you buy that frozen crap from New Zealand. Shit tastes like a barn because it's meat from animals primarily bred for their wool, and the best wool comes from lambs with lots of lanolin, and the more lanolin the more it'll taste like licking the floor of a pig stall.

Lamb breeds that have more meat usually have less lanolin, so when you're breeding for food primarily (which is normal for most Australian and American lamb) you don't get that same flavour that a lot of people associate with lamb (and that turns a lot of people unfamiliar with it off).

Though you'll also get a stronger gamey taste (so a stronger taste of actual lamb, not barn) if they're grass fed rather than grain fed. A lot of American stuff is grain fed, though, and ends up tasting almost like beef. All told, if you want lamb that's distinctively gamey without tasting like a barn, get grass fed American (usually from a good butcher) or the vacuum sealed/wet-aged fresh stuff that comes from Australia. If you want expensive beef get supermarket American lamb, and if you like the whole barn taste get New Zealand. If you're from somewhere else and dealing with other sorts/sources, try to find out if it's from animals bred for their wool or not and if it's grass or grain to figure out what it'll taste like ahead of time.

So. Anyhow. Lamb. Though this may be the wrong thread to talk lamb in.

I'm the asshole who asks the mcdonalds counter-nigger for extra packs of syrup with my hotcakes.

I'm the asshole who declines to pay the $0.25 or whatever for an extra pack of syrup for my hotcakes.

I'm the asshole who politely walks away after receiving my hotcakes order, and stuffs about 500 napkins in my bag and leaves.

>>4301310

You can bet your ass that fresh lamb slaughtered the day before does.

>>4300349
you sicken me
do you even know why people eat steaks rare
and not typically ground beef

seriously what the fuck man

>>4301326
Pretty graphic shit still happened to the lady. Not uploading, because it's gross shit, but you can check out the image if you want:

http://harmfuldruginfocenter.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/mcdonalds.jpg

>>4301557

That's why you go to a trustworthy butcher and have them grind it for you.

>>4301569
Sure, if you can be completely certain of the source and all the rest, but if you're ordering undercooked ground beef in a restaurant you wouldn't get steak tartare from you're an idiot (or, just as likely on /ck/, a troll).

I worked in a movie theater what fells like a millions years ago. I guess it's closer to 15 years actually. But anyway, one day we had this guy come in, he went up to the concession stand and ordered a hotdog and a soda, then argued that the price was too high for 10 minutes, refusing to pay unless we gave him a discount. When we finally convinced him that a discount was impossible he started accusing one of the workers of rubbing the mustard packets on his balls (wtf?). He started screaming and yelling and demanding to see a manager. The manager came over, the guy accused the worker of trying to poison him, we then explained the entire thing to the manager. The manager told the guy to leave or he was going to call the cops. The guy finally left.

>>4301503
Yeah... maybe you should watch your language in public. There is nothing I hate more than people who think it's alright to curse in public. It's disgusting honestly in most situation and even worse when there are children around. I don't care what you believe or not, but some people don't want their young children exposed to foul language and you have absolutely no right to act like that.

>>4301589

If you're offended by words then maybe you should grow thicker skin.

>>4301594
Convenient of you to totally ignore my point about doing it around children.

>>4301589

I have to agree with this lady. Before we had our precious angel, I could never of understood why people say it takes a village to raise a child, but as a parent I can truly say from my heart: it does.

If you want to swear in your own home you have the right, but when your out in public you need to remember that you're actions effect others.

Pic related, it's our precious innocent angel enjoying the local gastropub with us last night. The neighborhood used to be truly aweful but in the past few years has gotten alot more family friendly. Our condo even got the manager of our favorite place to pass a "no swearing" rule on Friday night's and people who don't respect it are politely asked to leave. We're grateful for that because otherwise we were considering moving to a boring suburb which is no place for a child to experience the real world.

>>4301601
Make fun of me all you want, but we're not talking about a bar here, he was in a family restaurant. There are ton of situation where you can say whatever you want, but this doesn't at all sound like one of them.

>>4301598

You say this as if they won't grow up to speak like shit anyway.

>hey gurl last night was totes swag yolo

>>4301601
somewhere in the 415?

>>4301614
They wont if raised correctly, but parents today don't even try to raise their kids any more. They let everyone else do it for them, which is why the kids end up acting like that.

>>4301598
Your point was that children should grow up in a protective bubble isolated from dirt, grime, and naughty words and that the rest of the world is obligated to help you towards that goal. In which case you're an idiot and should move to the suburbs to raise your bubble boy.

>>4301617
It's amazing how focused on your own self you are that you can't even realize when your being offensive for absolutely no reason.

>>4301622
Thanks for your opinion munchausen mommy, now please leave the real world to the real people.

>>4301617
As a parent of a teenager, I agree with this. You can't protect your children from the rest of the world. You set rules and morals and ethics in YOUR OWN HOME, and hope that that will instill good values and behaviors in your children. But it is NOT the public's responsibility to uphold those for you around your kids. When you take your children out in public, and they see bad behaviors, if you have done your job as a parent, they will question whether those people are worth of paying attention to or not. Now, remember that your child is not a special snowflake. YOU think they are, but they are not special/gifted/genius necessarily, and they WILL imitate behaviors they see sometimes, and will do it more and more as they get older and hit their teenage years. Then, once they actually become adults, they will hopefully cast off those behaviors and return to at least some of the ideals you help instill in them. And that's if everything goes well.

>>4301615

Pretty sure the photo was taken in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

>>4301625
>real people

Like you have any idea what that is. You think you do, but you don't. That you can't have a conversation with me without hurling insult after insult only proves how immature you are. You know nothing about the real world, you're a child.

>>4301622
It's amazing that you're a grown adult whose English language competence is at a grade three level yet you're calling out others for setting a bad example when it comes to language.

>>4301647

At this point I'm not even sure if you're being serious. But your post reeks of the self-loathing that comes from being a control freak failure of a parent, and I don't know how anyone could fake that so well without first hand experience.

>>4301629
This is the right answer. You teach your kids what's right and wrong rather than not teaching your kids a damn thing while putting your fingers in your ears and demanding everybody else does the same.

>>4301647
You sound like a proponent of abstinence education. Which, given you've found your way to 4chan, means you're probably just a very bored Z-list troll.

>>4301655
I am being serious, and I'm also not a parent. I get it, you think its cool to be edgy and offensive.

>>4301663
>edgy and offensive

>>4301663
>thinks cussing is edgy

Why are you on 4chan.

>>4301661
>>4301655
At this point, all this comes down to is someone got butt-frustrated because I called them out for being the aggressor in a story they posted on 4chan in which they were trying to say they did nothing wrong.

>>4299136
My boyfriend does this, the only meals he eats are; chicken tikka masala, spaghetti bolognese, margherita pizza, chicken wings and chips (fries) and if there are none of these a plain hamburger/chicken burger with chip. (maybe some others at a push but can't think of any right now)

I don't think I've ever heard him complain though, the blander the food the better for him.

>>4301672
Have you ever asked him why he wont stray outside his comfort zone?

>>4299303
I used to work in a pub, usually I would go heat up baby food in a microwave but sometimes we would give them hot water in a hard plastic pint cup for them, whichever they preferred.

I loved being told to "only heat it for a bit it shouldn't be scalding hot!" Thanks for telling me I was going to nuke it on high for 3 minutes!!

>>4301601
>zero EXIF despite filename

lookslegit.png

>>4301680
I don't even understand why people take baby food that needs to be heated up with them places. When my son was a baby, we only took baby food that he could eat cold. WHY would you cause that much fuss and go to that trouble when it's just as easy to feed them foods that can be eaten unheated? God, people are so self-absorbed.

>>4301589
Except, we were being quiet, other people were likely swearing as well, and we were right by a bar.It also would have been one thing if they'd asked the waitress to tell us to stop, or if they'd politely asked us - I would have personally gone with it.

But throwing a huge temper tantrum in the restaurant? I don't care if I'd been swearing like a sailor, it's not really acceptable to lean your entire fat body on someone's table while screaming.

>>4301605
I was the last table on the line, against the divider between the bar and the eating area, just to say. It was also a Friday night, and this was literally the only kid in the place (I didn't even see him until they left; he was about 12, and wedged against the wall by his mother's fat).

It was less about me "getting in trouble" for swearing, and more about the way she handled it.

>>4301622
I respect your personal views, but, you do have to realize that yes, I did swear a few times (we were talking for probably 10-15 minutes, at a fairly quiet level, and swore maybe ten times between us; a group of four), but I wasn't the one who went to someone's table twice and yell at them, I didn't scream when I didn't get my way, and I didn't skip out on paying after leaving a mess.

We also did stop swearing after her first fit, and the "Christian baby" comment was literally whispered.

Also, none of the other posts were mine. Say what you want about me swearing in public, but do you really think it's acceptable to yell at someone twice, in a crowded establishment, while leaning your fat on their table (her tits were literally on our table), and then throwing a major fit when you don't get your meal free?

>>4301675
He's very fussy... doesn't like many textures (veggies/fruit etc...)
He's been like that since he was a kid and his mother lectures in nutrition... (his brother eats anything)
He has slowly expanded his horizons, I forgot to add thai green curry and teriyaki chicken to the list they are newish additions.

>>4301681
Perhaps he doesn't want you to stalk him, as you just tried to do.

>>4301681

Better?

>>4301702
I wasn't defending her actions. I'm just saying its far more polite to watch what's coming out of your mouth in public. I have one friend who will drop the f-bomb 10 times in a 5 minute conversation, regardless of where we are. He doesn't give a damn if it offends anyone, but it really does. He's had parents with young children give him dirty looks, old couples get up and leave, and on more than one occasion a manager come over and tell him to stop offending the other guests. Its at the point where I avoid him because it's 1) embarrassing to be with him and 2) I personally think its offensive also.

I've brought it up to him before and he always argues that it's 2012 or whatever and people need to get over words. I just don't agree, personal freedom's don't mean that you can offend anyone you want and there is nothing they can do about it.

>>4301670
Except if i'm correct, the op of that story only posted twice, everyone else arguing against you were different people

and yes I know I'm joining this conversation way too late

>>4301728
yeah yeah, they were trolls. I get that.

>>4301713
What is wrong with this guys face? He looks like a demented, Jewish Justin Timberlake.

>>4301722
So you took someone to task on /ck/ for doing something not even remotely like what your friend does because what your friend does pisses you off. That's oddly impressive for somebody who was calling us self-absorbed for thinking the occasional curse word in public wasn't the end of the world.

No, a troll is someone who doggedly defends a delusional version of reality where everyone should tiptoe around in public so you won't have to raise your kids properly.

Oh just go put your ketchup in the fridge already, bitch.

>>4301728
None of those other posts were me.

>>4301722
We were not swearing that much, and it was far from a child or senior-based place. Aside from this ONE family, they were all college-age kids, give or take a few years.

I won't swear in front of children or the elderly in conversation, and in public I usually won't say more than "shit" or "damn" (which were all of the swears), and personally I don't really care if those words offend someone, if they're listening into my conversation.

It isn't like I spam them though.

Granted, I probably was in the "wrong" for swearing. I'm not trying to hide that. I simply thought a few people thought the woman had done nothing wrong; she didn't talk to the manager or even the waitress, she didn't even come by and politely tell us to stop (I personally would have, although I wasn't even the main one swearing). She screamed, leaned on the table (so her tits were on it, and she was just above our food) and generally threw a fit. Her husband wasn't as bad (at least he didn't touch our damned table), but yelled as well.

>>4301746
>bitch

I get it, you think swearing is edgy and cool.

>>4301739
I was using my friend as an example to point out that I realize the OP of this story wasn't the only person in the world who is loose with their tongue in public, not because what my friend does "pisses me off".

I'm not calling you self absorbed for thinking an occasional curse isn't the end of the world, I called you that because you're so caught up in doing whatever you want to do that you couldn't even admit that some people can be offended by your actions.

>>4301755
Why exactly are you on 4Chan if swearing offends you so much?

>>4301755
>edgy and cool
You keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it means. Bitch.

Some real hyper-tolling going on in this thread right now.

>>4301775
If I had known this were to happen, I wouldn't have posted my story.

>>4301601
its one thing if its store policy not to swear
But seriously, getting offended over words that are arbitrarily deemed "bad" only shows that you're overly sensitive.

Teach your kids that no words are bad, but some make you sound stupid. My parents did this, and would point out how stupid other people sounded when I heard them cursing.
MUCH more affective than trying to shelter your children from it.

By the time all my friends were swearing profusely, I knew deed down inside that they weren't being rebellious, just stupid

>>4301503
Yeah, nah, you're a cunt.

I curse and swear all the time, but in situations with kids within earshot, I try to tone it back. Was at a restaurant yesterday with a friend of mine, and he kept saying 'fuckin' while he was telling a story. I just pointed a thumb over my shoulder at the two little girls with their mom sitting right behind us.

He's not a fucking faggot, so he said "Oh, my bad", and continued his story without dropping swears like nothing had happened.

>>4301788
>right behind us

Cunt was 4 booths away from the "victim". How do you function outside when you're worried about what people might be listening to 4 booths away at a restaurant?

>>4301780
>arbitrarily deemed "bad"

Most of the time its a little more than arbitrary, it's about the mean, not the word itself. I can think of a lot of words that are just mean and hateful.

>>4301780
THIS.
get you're kids to associate pointless swearing with stupidity. That associate will stick with them for life, and swearing will never seem cool.

If you just try to shelter them from it, they eventually will think its really cool when they hit that rebellious age

>>4301794
Original story seems bullshit. If they were literally 4 booths away, then he's even more of a cunt because he would have practically been yelling it all.

>>4301794
>How do you function
Most people get along just fine being that words like fuckin' don't actual aid in telling the story any way.

>>4301795
idunno, man, it seems pretty arbitrary

Swear:Ok language
shit:poop
fuck:make love
damn:darn
bitch:female doggy

Im not saying there isn't offensive language out there, but for the most part what we deem swear words are completely arbitrary

>>4301803
I was talking about words like faggot and nigger which I hear more and more in public settings these days.

>>4301799
restaurant worker here.
Seems totally real. I work in the south, and get fat white bitches every week who feel entitled to free stuff just cause they find ANYTHING to complain about.
combine that with feminine instinct over their children, and it gets ugly

>Go to some small Chinese restaurant with my family
>HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST CHINESE FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD
>HOLY FUCK ALL THIS GINGER BEEF MY DICK IS SO HARD IT'S TIPPING THE TABLE
>Entire time my mostly blind and deaf father is making racist jokes
>A table of another group just gets up and leaves in disgust
>When we're done manager comes up and asks us to leave
>My dad starts bitching more but my mom pulls him out because she's equally pissed off
>I apologize profusely and leave a hundred dollar tip.

I absolutely refuse to go anywhere with him again. Just an absolutely disgusting person.

Gotta order in from the Chinese restaurant now because I'm too embarrassed to go back.

>>4301803
I don't think you know what arbitrary means.

Curse words are considered offensive by most people due to their uses in conveying extreme distaste or insult.

Some book writer didn't just decide to tell everyone one day that "shit" is now offensive. It's a word that has been defined by its use in our society.

>>4301810
I've worked in a restaurant too, in Texas. Usually it's niggers, but yeah, bitches are bitches. The only thing I'm doubting is his portrayal of his own behavior, not that of the staff or the other customers.

>>4301815

I think they'd probably LOVE to have you back, maybe no your family though.

>>4301815
yfw the manager asked you to leave because of your ragging hardon.

>>4301820
This. If just you went back in (or when in with other people besides your family) they'll love it.
Don't take your family, though, or it's dumpster cat for dinner! (lol)

>>4301819
if people are getting offended by language that conveys extreme situations, they need to toughen up.

The only language that is worth being offended over is language that misuses and puts down other people.
Like nigger, jew, retarded, faggot... (when out of proper context. i.e Jew can be totally acceptable)

>>4301833
>they need to toughen up

I just don't agree. Regardless of your intentions, if you are offending others, you should take a moment to see if a simple change can correct it. It's easier for you to just not use those words in public that to get people to accept those words.

>>4301833

I had a classmate in elementary school who thought "Jewish" was an insult. We didn't have a lot of Jews around but even in our childish minds it was obvious there was something wrong with the kid. I started referring to him as "nazi boy" and it quickly caught on, he hated my guts and the name stuck with him all the way to high school.

i can't even go to a decent burger joint with my friend. every fucking time he asks if they use peanut oil. seriously? that's the best fucking shit you can put fries in. i can't go back to vegetable or canola oil after having tried that shit. so good.

but yeah, picky people are the worst

>>4301833
Can't tell if manchild or edgy child.

>>4301838
Exactly this.

Did someone say offended?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bwGsOBTlhE

>>4301846

Oh yeah, picky people are bad. I used to date this girl a long time a go who was so damn picky about her food. We went to subway once and after about 50 questions to the person making the sandwich she settled on plain white bread with turkey AND NOTHING ELSE. Come on, you could have made that at home.

>>4301838

You're offending me by being retarded on the internet. You should stop using the internet so I don't feel offended.

>>4301860
Right, but you're not actually offended, and that's the difference. I get your point, but it's unrealistic. We're not talking about catering to extreme minorities, we talking about exercising a little self control in public.

>>4301859
I work in a gourmet deli. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that order stuff like this.

>what kinds of bread to you have?
>what about cheeses?
>ok, thats a lot to choose from
>can I get ham on white bread with regular cheese?
or worse
grown people ordering PB&J without the crust. for gods sake, we sell 18 kinds of meat, 14 cheeses, and 12 awesome breads
why spend $6 on a PBJ without the crust?

>>4301874
using profanity at a regular indoor voice should be acceptable by everybody.
If there are young kids at the table, than it might be offensive
If you're yelling out profanity, its probably offensive.

But asking people to use a different vocabulary because of your feelings is asking too much

>>4301589
>being offended by swearing these days

>>4301879
its worse when its busy as fuck and they're asking about all your ingredients over the phone. Then finally settle in the the most basic thing ever, that they never needed to ask in the first place.

>regular cheese
I hear this like twice a day, even after listing off 10 cheeses by name

>>4301884
Okay, so in the story, the cunt was likely both:

a. Using profanity near young kids.
b. Yelling out profanity

I'm not arguing against using profanity, it's using with at least some semblance of civility that is important.

>>4301892
I think my argument revolves more around appropriate speaking levels, rather than vocab used.

If people more than 6 feet away can comprehend what you're saying, its too loud.
Being too loud is offensive.

>>4301884
>should be acceptable by everybody

But it isn't. You're telling me that asking people to watch the words they use is asking too much, but you want everyone to accept the same things as you. Now who's asking too much?

>>4301899
>If people more than 6 feet away can comprehend what you're saying, its too loud.
>Being too loud is offensive
Autistic people often find loud noises to be offensive.

>>4301899
>If people more than 6 feet away can comprehend what you're saying, its too loud.

>>4301903
They also tend to insult people for no reason.

>>4301900
I'm not asking anything of anybody.
By swearing I'm not asking you to not get offended.
Complaining about another persons diction is a dick move, and should be frowned upon.
The way I speak at an appropriate level is none of anybody elses business, no matter how sensitive they are.
The only reason to ask me to change my diction is if you don't understand what language I'm speaking, or the meaning of my words

>>4301903
Chinchillas often find loud noises to be detrimental to their health.

>>4301910
>The only reason to ask me to change my diction is if you don't understand what language I'm speaking, or the meaning of my words
No...

>>4301905
No, I can be loud when I want. Like if i'm outside, or speaking to a large group.

But if your target audience is sitting at the table with you, its inappropriate to be speaking at a level far above that

>>4301921
Yup, you sound quiet, meek, and afraid to be heard.

Deal with it bro: you are b-b-b-beta.

>>4301910
If that's what you think than so be it. However I feel that the idea of "I should be able to say whatever I want, wherever I am, and no one should find it offensive" to be a bit childish.

>>4301926
If speaking innapriately loud in intimate settings is an alpha male thing to do, I never want to have anything to do with it.

>>4301788
I didn't see the kid. I didn't see him until they left because he was literally wedged between his mom and the wall.

I also DID stop after she came and yelled at us the first time. I didn't say the second bit, that made the father of the kid throw a fit. I wasn't even the main one swearing. I was the one who "set it off", but besides that I'd sworn once before - "damn" if I remember.

>>4301794
>>4301799
They were a literal four booths away. I don't know how they heard us, if they even did hear us and not someone else (the rest of the place was full of people my age and younger).

>>4301802
I had said "damn" earlier, and "fuck" once. It was the only "fuck" anyone said, and the only one I said there. I distinctly remember my girlfriend's cousin had been telling a story about her lousy ex-boyfriend, and at the end, I'd said, "Well, fuck him". I wasn't doing it just to use the word.

>>4301808
I hadn't, and don't, say either of those words, just to say.

To explain more, I'd said, if I recall (and I'm really having to dig for this), "damn" in a story. My girlfriend's cousins swore maybe 10 times between them. At the end of a story, I said "fuck".

The woman came over, leaning on the table, yelling. My girlfriend's cousins were a bit rude back, but I simply didn't say anything to it, until the end when I told her, "Alright, I'm sorry, we'll stop - just let us eat" because it was clear it wasn't ending.

Later on, when her cousin said "their precious christian baby", I laughed at it but I didn't say it myself. I didn't say anything to the man when he came by, because he was escorted away.

I didn't say anything particularly mean directly to either of them.

>>4301927
Thats not really what I'm trying to say
I just think that if a person gets their feelings hurt because of a particular word you are saying, its inappropriate to get mad at them and try to make them stop using that word.

If its an offensive word like "nigger", than multiple people could get offended
If its a harmless word thats arbitrarily associated with swearing, like "shit", asking somebody to use a substitute word just makes you sound like a stuck up jackass.

The presence of young children changes things though, but only because people can't raise their kids to deal with situations like that

>>4301933
Which is probably why you don't take charge of situations and your lifestyle and employment reflect this deficiency in confidence and ambition.

>>4301943
I own and manage my own restaurant.
I guess you're right, this totally reflects my lack of confidence and ambition.

>>4301946
Is that supposed to impress people? I make $130k a year writing software technical papers. My house sits on a monolithic foundation and I don't even have a basement because I am not a basement-dwelling neckbeard like you.

Try me.

>>4301892
I wasn't yelling it. I don't even talk loudly. I was talking a tiny bit louder than I usually do, only because it was a crowded place, but I was far from yelling or even being loud. Again, I didn't know there was a kid there, and he was far from eight - he was about twelve, and four booths away.

I honestly don't know how they heard me at all. I certainly wasn't being loud at all (although her cousins were a little louder than me).

>>4301946
>>4301951
We can all be astronauts and presidents online, kids!

>>4301942
I get what you're saying now.

I don't believe we should be enforcing any type of rules or laws that limit our speech. What I'm saying is that the onus is on the speaker. There's nothing wrong with remaining conscious of what comes out of your mouth.

>>4301946
Yes, and I'm a professional underwater basketweaver who owns and manages my own island.

>>4301951
>Is that supposed to impress people
No, I don't give a fuck what you think or how much you make
But I think owning a business kind of shows some confidence and ambition.

Point is: speaking overly loud in public doesn't have any correlation with confidence, ambition, or alpha maleism
It has a negative correlation with situational awareness, though

>>4301961
>underwater basketweaver
I had a manager a long time ago that used to always use that as a joke. what is it from?

I made $57k after taxes last year with my webcam site. I do solo or gay4pay (softcore) stuff and have 700+ subscribers.

I do website stuff for about 4 hours a day, film 2 days a week, and do whatever I want the rest of the time. My life is full of leisure.

>>4301963
I actually took an underwater basketweaving class in college.
I think its just a joke because of the ridiculous sounding name of the profession.
In reality, its the easiest way to weave a wicker basket, the water loosens up the wicker and makes it flexible

>>4301966
not to mention confidence and ambition.

>>4301963
It's just a fictional college major/course that's been a joke for years and years to make fun of people who major in stupid shit or athletes who take the super light course loads, etc. It was a really popular joke in the 80's and 90's, but I think it's been around since the 50s or 60s.

>>4301970
>>4301973

Thanks, I've always wondered what the hell he was talking about.

>>4301979
>fictional
nope

several colleges teach it, its part of my schools cultural affairs department.
I believe the diving class also has a day of basked weaving

Just gan post this image in a thread that is 100% /ck/.

>>4301976
*facepalm*

>>4301978
I wasn't confident at first. I have always been athletic and fine with walking around with my shirt off, but the first time I was nude on camera was pretty weird.

Now I am basically as comfortable nude as I am with clothes on, but I do spend a lot of time at the gym or on tanning and hygiene so I do work for that confidence.

I am ambitious, but not as much as you'd think. I graduated from Reed 2 years ago and am basically taking advantage of being in the right place at the right time for "easy money". This is basically time for me to relax, enjoy life, and figure out the next step.

>>4301982
At my school it's Turkish underwater basket weaving cause we're elite like that.

My favorite underwater basket weaving course is the Turkish Underwater Basket Weaving Course.

>>4301983

Actually that last point isn't true. Certain forms of hate speech are not protected under freedom of expression laws in most countries. You can receive jail time or fines for advocating death or harm toward individuals/ethnicities/religious groups/etc.

>>4302047
you are serving hors d'oeuvres
you have Internet. educate yourself, there is no excuse
you have been rude to a customer, too, and that is never done
oh and the company you work for is shit. if someone who has seen a bratwurst before doesn't recognize a second one, there's something very wrong with that second bratwurst
also, fucking mango chutney? on a fucking bratwurst? the fuck.

>>4302047
haha ok nigger

>>4302040

Implementation of the law differs from what it should actually imply. Not my fault countries are like that.

>>4302065
>trying to tell someone's life story from an anecdote on 4chan.
You, sir, are a fucktard.
Although, I will at least give you the horrifying misspelling of hors d'oeuvres. If you can't spell it, either look it up or just say appetizers.

>>4302065
>also, fucking mango chutney? on a fucking bratwurst? the fuck.

Dipshit. Chutney tastes great with sausages and other variety meats. Sweet and spicy sauces are served regularly with sausages of all kinds. Fuck, even the Germans eat sausage with curry ketchup and other sweet sauces. Educate yourself.

>>4302101
someone's life story?
what life story?
I just explained to this anon what exactly is wrong about the story HE told
- he's serving shit food
- he doesn't care enough to even know the name of what he's doing
- he's rude and obnoxious because he thinks his clients are overprvileged snots, which they may well be
"bratwurst, a sausage"
"the bitch"
what the fuck kind of attitude is that?

>>4302107
I will cut off my ear Gauguin-style, pan-fry it and eat it with a mango chutney if you find ONE restaurant in Germany that puts fucking mangoes anywhere fucking NEAR fucking bratwurst you fucking fuck
a timestamped pic of a menu is all I need, I fucking guarantee you WILL get back a timestamped image of my fucking severed ear

>>4302121
Good god, you're not only an idiot, but you can't read either.
I didn't say Germans used mango chutney. I said they used sweet and spicy sauces, like curry ketchup. The point being that it's not uncommon to use those types of condiments with sausages. You're a true blue fucking retard.

>>4302131
condiments are not the fucking issue here, of course you can put sweet and spicy sauces on meat

but mango is not a condiment and has no place near a fucking bratwurst, okay?

>>4302140
Do you even fucking KNOW what mango chutney is? GODDAMN, how are those two brain cells working out for you?

>>4302151
working just fine thanks, so are the ol' tastebuds and they're all telling me that
MANGO CHUTNEY and BRATWURST do not fucking go together

>>4302166
If you've never tried it, you can't speak of it. You're just spouting your DUMBASS opinion, without any knowledge of it. Fucking idiot.

>>4302187
no-one has fucking had it, except the sad people of Pandora, because they don't work together
that's jut typical caterer behavior
big party tonight? fine. let's see what's spoiling in the fridge! oh we have a shit-tonne of mangoes and... oh, there's some sausage thing we bought for that wedding that got canceled, where the bride was Dutch or something like that

>>4302195
Good god, you're either a terrible troll or just dumb as a box of fucking rocks.
Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people have had mango chutney with sausages. It's not fucking uncommon. Pull your pinhead out of your smelly asshole and educate yourself. You're not making any headway here, other than verifying what a complete donkeyfucker you are.

>>4302217
do you have anything else than insults to offer?
show me some of those hundreds of thousands
show me ONE restaurant menu with such an abomination on it

>>4302223
how about the dude that was serving it as hors d'oeuvres to privileged young Pandora employees

>>4302254
that was not restaurant
that was a fucking caterer

>>4302223
this looks dope as shit

>>4302255

?!?!?!?!?!
oh...ok. Its a caterer thing. That validates your argument that people don't eat it.

Do you get joy out of acting so belligerent anonymously? cause you're really shitting up the place

>>4302223
Just a few, if you want to see their menus, google them yourself, bitch.

Rosamunde Sausage Grill

Ruffhaus Hot Dog Co.

World Dog

Haute Sausage

Grand Rapids Brewing Co.

PLUS, you fucktard, you can find recipes for sausages with mango chutney on any number of websites such as Epicurious, Food Network, and a million other food blogs.

>>4302259
wait till you've tasted it :)
also, that's a fucking hot-dog, not a bratwurst

>>4302223
Mmm, a bratwurst and mango skillet dinner

I'm gonna have to experiment with these

>>4302263
get it through your thick head, catering for parties is a hit-and-run gig, because parties are really about booze and other drugs, not food.

at the end of the day, if no-one got food poisoning and no-one vomited, the paying customer is happy and WILL give you a recommendation, no matter how odd the food really was

My aunt Always, ALWAYS sent back her food, no matter where the family went to eat.

>>4302265
...ok
A hotdog with a knot on one end
Sausages can come in a variety of proportions and sizes. no reason a bratwurst couldn't look like that

>>4302264
I see hot dog stands, a grill and two breweries in your list.
which one is a fucking restaurant, you loser?

and where in here
http://rosamundesausagegrill.com/haight-street/menu/
do you fucking see fucking mango chutney?

this is a place I picked FROM YOUR FUCKING LIST, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE

>>4302275
a bratwurst can't look like that.
because bratwurst mix is white, not brown
this is a fucking bratwurst, you fucking nigger

>>4302281
>oh I see you've provided a variety of examples proving me wrong
>SO WHICH ONE IS IT, HUH!!?

Get it through you're head. people eat tasty food. Mangoes and Bratwurst is sounding increasingly tasty, I'm about to go make it. Does that make me some freak anomaly to the human race? no

You're behavior on the internet right now is somewhere is shameful

>>4302281
Is your life really so empty that you must 'shout' at people on the internet about the value of mango chutney?

I can't think of anything more sad than that without bringing up terminally ill children or dying animals.

>>4302296
>now is somewhere is shameful

I was going to type somewhere between laughable and shameful, but I changed my mind.
It isn't laughable at all

>>4302296
yep. that should settle it
go make some, then talk
or shut up, as the case may be
although I deeply doubt you have any bratwurst

You really are just a dumb, dumb, DUMB motherfucker. Do you know your face from your ass? I don't think you do.

>>4302312
well I rang
it really is on the menu
still not a good idea to put it on bratwurst

>>4302324
how new are you? do you even know what samefagging is?

I had a customer today that ordered 4 slices of every meat we have at my deli (like 16 meats). It was immediately after we opened and it was just the worst start to a work day. She bitched the whole time about thickness, every meat was to be a different thickness.

I just pretended to move the knob around, they were all pretty much the same

I've always had shitty experience with people calling in orders while were really busy, then asking about tons of menu items and their ingredients, then ordering something stupid like turkey on white bread, "yellow cheese".

>>4302339
you're the SAME FAG

>>4302345
ok, you really are that new

That poster here. At the time I showed the manager the Facebook post, I didn't even know she was a single mom. Then again, I still would have done it if I had known, so disregard this.

Also, she lives with her parents anyway, so she can just siphon off money from their wallets in order to feed her crack babies.

Also, I'm pretty sure they are drug babies of some kind; in High School, she made constant posts about trying different drugs.

>>4301632
ok.. so.. i used google image search just now, just like you did, and apparently, even though the pic is from a story about babies in bars in brooklyn, the pic was taken in san francisco

read the caption: http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/03/02/brooklyn.babies.in.bars/index.html?hpt=C1

>>4302505
You did the right thing. Hopefully she learned something and won't act inappropriately at ther next job - if she ever gets another job. She may sponge off the tax payers for the next 18 years. Nevertheless, you did right.
