    In the restaurant business they say if you give a good experience a customer will tell 3 friends..but if you have a bad experience they will tell 10. You kicked that up a notch or two.

I designed a lot of great restaurants so I know about the significance of great service.

Some things are indeed out of their control. But they couldn't explain. They just said no when it appeared obvious the answer could have been yes had they wanted it to be. It's a middle finger to your customer, and I'm absolutely loving seeing the customer give the middle finger right back.

      I have a friend whose OWN PARENTS refuse to go out to a restaurant if he brings his 8 year old boy with them because of how disastrous previous restaurant outings were with him. My friend and his wife are terrible parents. The kid does whatever he wants, without repercussions. They'll tell him to stop doing something and the kid keeps doing it. They'll just keep telling him to stop. No punishment. No grabbing him by the arm and making him stop. Nothing.
      I keep warning him that it's going to end badly when the kid becomes a teen.
      Kids need the adults in their life to be _parents_ , not their best friends.

    Jordan Peterson put it like this: 'Generous sacrificial productivity. If you go out of your way for your friends, spouse, or child-you will have better relationships with them.'
    This principle applies to everything. The more effort you put in, the more successful the relationship will be.

His story made me feel sorry for his children, who will never know the value of hard work in building character. They will grow up feeling very entitled. It is very clear that he himself worked very hard to get where he is. But look at the third generation Walton family.

      Bad service is bad service no matter the price. If you’ve worked hard for your success and are willing to pay a substantial amount of money in a business it’s understandable to be upset. We don’t know what other positive life lessons PBD is teaching them. He could have taught them to alway respect those who are serving you. I don’t make enough for a dinner like that but if I call ahead and have my family with me and it’s terrible service, that’s unacceptable. Everyone doesn’t have to be middle class or lower class to learn humbleness and politeness. But that’s my take. Time will tell if he raised his kids good or bad.

      Typically, children aren’t an issue in high end restaurants-the sheer number is underwhelming because most people in those high end places are there for dates and business meetings. The fine dining restaurant I worked in rarely needed to pull the high chair out of the closet while it was a regular item out Outback. Booster seats were also rarely used-the majority of kids that ate there were probably 10 or older.
      In short, having a policy against such a low occurrence issue while advertising it to the masses is usually a bad policy.

If kids are not part of that, then they are not part of that.

    Finaly, a W take. 👏
    I've worked in the hospitality field for around 10 years and I can vouch for that the service is more valuable than Food. Sounds weird, I know. But the service is the 20-30% of the experience. Small margine but plays a vital role in the whole customer experience.
    Yes, people do go to a restaurant mainly to eat but that's not always the case. I will note, that customer awareness also plays a key role. By 'Customer awarness' I mean how much a customer can evaluate a waiters - whole hospitality act as a whole. Sadly, the more people become 'sheep' the more less aware they become and don't treat the waiting staff as humans but as slaves. But those who do understand, will be respected and understood.
    I can rant about this for eternity but the point is. Be mindful and respectful, and willing to serve / help out, and be kind. 🙏

    Excellent post. I’ve experienced both scenarios. Treat everyone like a $1M and 95% of the time, you’ll win their loyalty. Have the greatest product, attached to a terrible experience, and the customer will rarely return and when asked they will not recommend. The brand damage is multiplied.

There used to be a server and a helper. Now we had one waitress that neglected us. She had no command of the menu and the water pitcher was left on the table, the children’s ( 13 & 17) soft drinks were not refilled. For the 4 of us the bill was $400. I still left a $100. tip but I will not go back.

    Saying you bought your kid a plate worth $300 was unnecessary for the context you’re trying to deliver. At that point you’re just flexing. Saying you spent $4k on a dinner was irrelevant. The same message would have applied if the tab was $200. The peacocking makes PBD look insecure that you have to show how big your wallet is to prove a point. You don’t have to rub it in people’s faces how much you spend. Unless the message you’re trying to share to all restaurants is “hey treat me good because I’ll spend $4k on your restaurant.” This rant felt too emotional.

      3. not only is the restaurant staff not owning up to their fuckup, their doubling down, disrespecting the customer and basically ignoring their own responsibility like a room full entitled liberalists
      4. and this is the most important part of it all - does ANY of that sound like it's $4k worth of service? the dollar figure is paramount to his argument! when i spent $4k on a christmas dinner for my team, you damn well better believe i wouldn't have put up with this kind of bullshit either!

    • @BattleBladeWarrior

      I gotta ask, whats the deal with sitting with your back to the wall? (in a civilian setting, not in war times) Like realistically, say you're sitting there eating, and you see someone suspicious walk into the restaurant, then what?
      Are you going to pull an assault rifle out of your pants? Are you going to rush the guy (and potentially leave your family unguarded?)
      Yea, in war, I get it because you're armed and have enemy soldiers moving on you, but if you're out eating back at home, what are you trying to protect yourself from?
      If its an active shooter for example, they're at the doorway, so there's nothing you can do except dive under a table. . .
      And if you're there with your family, the likelihood of being able to protect all of them from a stray bullet is not that good. And even if you try to rush the guy, unless you're right next to the front door, you're down before you can get there.
      You're all seated in a a table, at the back of the restaurant, so you have no where to escape to anyway. Wether you see it coming or not, doesnt really change the outcome?
      (No offense intended, I've just always wondered about that. Although I understand if you have a concealed carry, than seeing the guy ahead of time could help)

    One time was all it took for us to never go back.
    The manager was going around greeting guests, the tables before us was greeted as were the tables before them, when he came to our table, he looked at my wife and I and walked right on by and continued to greet the tables behind us and so on. It was the last time we went there to eat. Just because we were Asians? I don’t know but we felt so bad that the food was left half eaten and we just left. I’m glad that restaurant closed down.
