(Although, I might point out that it's not the duty of the customer to be nice to the waiter, but the other way around.) Let me just relate my two most recent experiences at Sam's and you be the judge. One: I went there with a big group of about 14 people for a birthday celebration and when the waiter (who I believe was the owner) learned that some people wanted only salads and most preferred to order sodas and not cocktails, he thereafter treated us with unmissable rudeness, when he waited on our table at all. Two: my wife and I went in for a pizza, specifying a margarita pizza without cheese, since my wife was at the time lactose intolerant. The man came back with a pizza smothered in cheese. We pointed out that we had asked for no cheese. He shrugged and walked away, leaving the pizza on the table. So—was I not nice enough to him?Brooks of Sheffieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297071358029060908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-13926959019434686682007-05-22T10:21:00.000-07:002007-05-22T10:21:00.000-07:00I don't understand why people have a problem with ...I don't understand why people have a problem with the service at Sam's!! I have never encountered this at all. I think it might be a case of "be nice to them and they'll be nice to you" or maybe people need to stop taking themselves so seriously and develop a sense of humor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-40883369131793695682007-05-21T14:19:00.000-07:002007-05-21T14:19:00.000-07:00Thanks, Giles.
