The things that annoy us

Or to put it bluntly, what pisses the hell out of hospitality professionals

1. Announcing they’re bloggers or critics the moment they get in the door. Especially when don’t know jack-shit and act all Amuse-Douche like.
2. Attention grabbing fake allergies. One customer came in and said they were allergic to garlic. I say ‘then don’t go to an Italian restaurant’
3. Nursing their solitary beer or cup of joe for hours on end, mooching off the free wifi
4. Getting boisterously drunk
5. Treats waiters like 3rd class citizens, acting like they are about to be married to Prince William
6. Splitting a bowl of soup, salad or sandwich for two
7. In Manila, it’s the bodyguards they bring. Occupying other tables and not ordering anything
8. Asks for non fat, decaf, artificially sweetened cappuccino to go with her slice of Black Forest cake
9. Asks to speak to the chef in the midst of dinner service. On a Friday night. When the kitchen is deep in the weeds
10. Showing up 30 minutes late for a reservation. On a Friday night. Expecting a table ready
11. Leaving their valuables such as a DSLR camera displayed on the table, then blames the wait staff when it gets nicked
12. Utters the words “Do you know who I am?!”. Obviously not, buddy. You are given the same VIP treatment as everybody else
13. Finishing two thirds of the meal before complaining, then wanting it written off the check.
