Man banned from pub/meals on wheels for criticising food

[Victoria J]

AN elderly man has been banned from a local pub and from receiving their Sunday dinner by delivery for repeated criticism of the food.

Not quite sure why it's news but it's certainly a sucky customer.

And typical of such SCs he's terribly upset about not receiving the service he only ever criticised.

Maybe they were having a slow news day.

what an ass and do you notice that they kept throwing war veteran in there too.Just because you're a war veteran doesn't mean you can act and treat others as you want.And I had to laugh because I thought oh god this is Gordon Ramsey when hes 80 years old.

My Papa (grandfather on my mothers side) was a war veteran. Oddly enough, he never really acknowledged the fact until he had to go to the VA hospital.

I wonder why that is?

[Soulstealer]

He should try that in a country with a military draft. Yeah you're a war veteren big deal, so's everyone else. We take care of you already so shut up.

[Hon'ya-chan]

Is he a Chelsea Pensioner?

Nah, they're going to have to drag Ramsey's corpse from one of his resturants after he dies. Also, if he doesn't like the quality of the food, Ramsey would try to find an alternative.

With a death grip on his knives.

There are several old sayings that apply here:

1. Beggars can't be choosers.
2. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
3. You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
4. "My friend, don't be a jerk." -- Peter Venkman, Ghostbusters

Seriously, this guy gets his meals at a fantastic discount, does nothing but piss and moan about the quality, then complains that he's no longer getting them? Cry me a river.

Oh, you're a veteran? Great, thanks for your service to the country. However, being a veteran doesn't give you license to be an ass. You're not going to get prime rib and truffles through Meals On Wheels. Act like a grownup and deal with it.

I guess if Mr. Lee (Stan Lee? Hee) could have been politer. But really, my mom gets Meals on Wheels and it's like food I use to get at school. Like the bargain bin Mcrib she got yesterday was horrible. And Mon. she got two chicken strips in bar-b-que sauce that makes the chicken nuggets (5 for $.99) at Wendy's look gourmet. Though today there was actual chicken thigh with gravy and beets (but canned beets) that mom ate.

I know, it's free food, and there is a limited budget the nice people at meals on wheels have, but mostly it's miss. Poor mom also have diabetes, so here she is, not suppose to eat potatoes and getting that very often.

And the newspaper is the one repeating Mr. Lee is a vet. He didn't say he was a vet.
