Chopsticks

So at lunch time today, I went to the local Chinese food Buffet. Now I understand that when you are at a buffet the servers don’t do much other than take your plates and get you drinks. They usually are right on top of this since they want some sort of tip. I get in the restaurant and we order our dinks and head up to the food. I see our waitress walking by and politely ask, “Can you bring me some chopsticks please”. She looks at me and says “They’re right over there” and continues on her path. If I go to a friend’s house for dinner and ask for a glass and you say it’s over there in the cabinet, I’m not going to be upset, we are friends. It’s not like I’m company. I would expect that. But to be at a restaurant and have your waitress basically say, go get it yourself. Oh HELL NO. They must have replaced her TEA with a whole bunch of STUPID. Yes little things like this make me very mad. I’m paying for food and service and I expect both. She has enough time to grab your plate once you’re done eating so it can be washed. But didn’t have enough time to walk over and grab a set of cheap disposable chopsticks. I wonder if that works with other things. Imagine your Lawn Care Professional working out that deal. Sure I’ll mow your lawn but, I’m going to do it without a bagger and you need to rake up the grass and dispose of it yourself. Imagine your Mechanic, sure I’ll change your oil but you need to make sure to take the drain plug out for me. I mean if you went to a Steak house and asked for a STEAK KNIFE do you think they would say sure their right over there and walk away. Can you picture that? What rounded this experience off perfectly was when I opened my fortune cookie and it was only half the paper. So not only did I get shitty service, I got a fortune that could not be read. Looks like I won’t be visiting this rat on a stick any time soon, and If I do I might bring one of the stupidcup coffee mugs in and present it to the wait staff.
