What's next a back rub and foot massage whilst you sip your beer?
After how many minutes can you walk out on a slow food order?

My SOP when operating in hotels: try a free drink if a customer is pissed off. Costs nothing and works most of the time.Petrol Head wrote:I never understood why in a place where alcohol was almost free, more establishments didn't do this to appease disgruntled customers.Hanno wrote:Depends on the food, the setting, and how the restaurant handles any delays.
Obviously, I will not wait 30 minutes for a "pho", but I will wait 30+ minutes for a freshly made Lasagne, especially if it already says so on the menu.
If the restaurant does experience delays, a "we are busy" won't hack it, a "Very sorry for the delay, here is a glass of wine for the Missus and a beer for you on the house" will.

My life has seen more downs in a decade than most have in their lifetimes. My soul carries a lot of baggage.

It's like christmas opening each pack to see if you've won a free pack of cigga's straight up.
From memory, I think in Cambodia, if you get one particular stamp inside a packet then you win a whole pack, but another type of stamp entitles the lucky winner to collect another five of the same stamp, to redeem a free pack..

You mean to say that you do not get back rubs and massages when you go out for a drink ?spitthedog wrote:Christ Almighty, you colonials now want free drinks in 3rd world sh!tholes?

Weird ??

You might as well make that a real massage, not some sort of lovely, lovely man experience.
Went to reasonably expensive Western restaurant last week where we ordered starter and main course. Main course came but no starter. We asked where the starter was and why it was not served at the eh, start. The dumb-eyed thick trollop of a waitress said she got "confused" (and then served the starter). This shit sure gets tiring after a while.
Did you specify it had to be served at the start ? If not you should consider yourself lucky that you got it at all.We asked where the starter was and why it was not served at the eh, start.
Be grateful to your gracious host country instead of finding fault everywhere.
Bloody Americans. Cambodia should build a wall.

Oh Christ, DM going for the jugular there. Logos was making a playful comment about Americans being overly demanding. It doesn't warrant attacking him based on his looks and his marital history. That's just mean.DetroitMuscle wrote:
I think Cambodians would probably look down upon a toad looking European marrying and divorcing a multitude of innocent Khmer women more than a white dude wanting halfway decent service whole eating... 3 or 4, yeah, Logos?
Follow my lame Twitter feed: @gavin_mac
I didn't know logos has/had multiple local wives or looks toadish. Not a subject for this forum anyway, you she be ashamed DM.
