Argh. What a day. We had a new delivery driver, and he got completely lost. I was constantly getting phone calls asking for directions. I don't know if it was me giving bad directions or just him having a bad sense of direction, but he kept ending up FURTHER away from the bar rather than getting closer.

So, because of this, we ran out of A LOT. There was very little left on the menu. But hey. Monday morning, the slowest day of the week, no ones gonna care right?

Wrong.

SC: Ooo, I think I'll have the lasagne.
Me: I'm sorry, but we have a very limited menu today (I give her one I made myself) Our delivery hasn't shown up yet and we have very little left.
SC: Fine. I'll have the minestrone soup.
Me: OK, I'll sort that out for you. Again, I'm sorry about that.
SC: Fine.

She wandered off to sit next to her friend. She then started having a conversation...very loudly.

SC: I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PLACE! EVERY DAY IT'S SOMETHING ELSE...SOMEONE'S SICK...DELIVERY HASN'T SHOWN UP...THERE'S A REPAIR GUY IN...ALWAYS SOMETHING ELSE!

She got her soup. A co-worker comes up to me.

CW: *sighs* That lady wants to see the manager.
Me: Argh. OK I'll be right over.

I go over.

SC: What is going on here!? I wanted lasagne!
Me: As I said, our delivery hasn't shown up yet. It should have been here hours ago...
SC: I wanted lasagne! You can't give me what I want!

Her friend was nodding in agreement.

SC: I come in here EVERY SINGLE DAY...and every time I do, something goes wrong. This place is going down hill.

I had never seen her before in my life.

Me: I would like to help you more, but I did explain the situation before you ordered your meal. Yet you still chose to order.
SC: That's because I didn't want to go somewhere else! It's a rip off in all the other bars you know!

Ahhh...so she's cheap.

Me: Well, like I said, there is nothing more I can do for you.
SC: I...AM...DISGUSTED. COMPLETELY...DISGUSTED.
Me: OK, well, all I can do is apologize, but this couldn't be helped. Now, if you will excuse me, there are some meals waiting to go out.
SC: I'm not finished with you! I have been in the restaraunt business for 25 years young man! You should be listening to me!

I was confused...what advice was she giving me exactly?

SC: I know how to run a business like this! And I would be doing a better job than you! Believe me young man, by the time I am through with this place, you won't have a bar left to salvage!
Me: You do that then.

What's she gonna do? Burn the place down?

I left them to it. I was too tired to deal with them, plus other customers were shaking their heads at her.

Ok, that's mental.

Wow, there are plenty of SCs without the restaurant business experience that can run a bar to the ground. Not impressed. Now if she can make the delivery truck appear magically, I would be impressed.

Then it looks like you must be doing something right after all.

I've said this before, but you can train dogs and rats and damn near anything in fewer trials. If it's bad, don't shop there. I know it's a difficult concept, but you should still take a swing at learning it.

DIY Cooking? That seems pretty daunting.

Then maybe she should stay at home more often. Just a thought.

You can ... cook?... at home?

Is that what that big hot metal box in my ...what's the word?... oh, yeah! kitchen! is for?


Seriously, if something goes wrong every day**, STOP GOING THERE!!!!!

**Every day = she came in once, 3 years ago, and she had to wait 5 minutes while they brewed more coffee or something.

I'd take that as a threat to person and property, out she goes!
