I asked for ketchup for my steak one time at a high end restaurant, but it was only because the wait staff and manager were being complete cocks.
Fuck you assholes, if you're going to insult me by treating me like I'm not good enough to spend my hard earned money at your restaurant, I'm going to insult you too.
What the fuck? Was the waiter like flat out making fun of you or something?
It was a Morton's in Chicago, and they were acting like dicks because we were in jeans and all sweaty from walking around town all day in 90* weather. It was a bunch of little stuff - took forever to get seated, waiter ignored us / took forever, etc.
When we mentioned it to the manager during the obligatory 'how is your meal' he told us that his restaurant is excellent and we must not be used to the quality of service they provide. The way he said it was basically 'you poors need to go back to Applebees'.
If I'm dropping $250 on two entrees and a couple drinks, I expect to be treated like a prince even if I show up in a fucking stained bathrobe.
We left a $.02 tip too, although that probably just reaffirmed the whole 'too low class to eat here' opinion.
It's funny you say that.
One of my coworkers just had a tiff with Mortons. He took his girlfriend there last week and the waiter plopped his steak in front of him such that juices hit his shirt.
The manager offered an empty apology and a card approving payment for his dry cleaning. Didn't even offer a comped beer.
The first joke I made was multi-lingual. I was in preschool, and my parents would make me tell it to all adults if they haven't heard it before, because I was a precious child.

You know I really dislike the notion that because I joke with people that I am never genuine. This probably offends me more than most personal attacks ever could. I'd argue I'm the most god damned genuine person on these forums thank you very much.

Translating is always more of an art. There isn't really a language you can do literal translation with and keep the feeling of the original writing.
Doing Japanese there are always these weird puns and phrasing that just doesn't work well in English. A lot of the writing is done in a way that you can assume meaning do to context. Doing direct translation though is a bitch because of it.
A good translator though can bring the meaning and essence of the writing to a new language but probably will never do it through a literal translation.
My happiest moment in learning English was learning that the word "tomboy" exists. In the Egyptian/Sudanese dialects there's the phrase "Mohamed walad" -walad is boy-, that has the same meaning. Sadly, I never got to use it when I worked as an interpreter. I really wanted to.
I wish someone would trace the etymology of Mohamed walad for me.

HA! I had a similar experience at Morton's here in Atlanta. My mom's boss had given my wife and I a giftcard for there for a wedding present. We were even dressed decently and we still got treated like shit. Yeah, sorry I'm not the right fielder for the Braves or whoever that is two tables over. But this is a pricey meal and we still spent 150 over the giftcard. Just damn. And what's worse, I love steaks. LOVE THEM. And this place's steak wasn't even that great.

More engaging than Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons, more thrilling than The Last Of Us, more action than Bioshock Infinite - truly a masterwork for our generation.

Yeah, it's funny too because he had actually had to go down there and they still gave him a hard time. They visibly were surprised he returned. We guess that since they were in Times Square, most of their clientelle are tourists, so it was a super empty gesture.

I was kinda worried because I was wondering how it was gonna be sustained over multiple seasons but it's just a 10 episode limited series. So I'm getting excited.

It's not a competition of course
and sometimes I think its a shield rather than 'brutal honestly' and so forth.
But I sense you're a pretty decent guy and the barbs are entirely without real malice.
I am guessing they target corporate clients or somesuch

I don't understand horrible people that willingly go into hospitality. Some patrons must get off on being treated like shit
i knew a real asshole bartender with a chip on her shoulder
she was pretty convinced that she was just upholding the dignity of her profession and restaurant when she went off on customers for some perceived slight
it was pretty asinine. i saw her drive off so much business

People e-mailing me about commissioned work are always like super professional and all "Dear Sir or Madam: I am inquiring regarding an offer listed on your website and am willing to exchange the stated amount for your artistic services-"
And I am always like "yo where do u want us to draw the splooge?"
Yeah, it's pretty much the Olive Garden of expensive steakhouses.
Faux fancy, mediocre compared to a decent local place, but everyone's heard about it. People also assume that if they are charging $75 for an entree it must be worth it / something special, but really it's no better than a $25 steak in most steakhouses.
Live and learn...

Kind of, but it's dumb expensive and has a pedigree. I guess it's supposed to be an upmarket Ruth's Chris.
Yeah. It's small for a chain and it really is focused on the upmarket. They use good quality steaks but their cooking staff can be uneven. Some of them will prepare the steak well and it's a pretty damn good steak. Others don't do so well and it's an okay steak.

you kind of have to be somewhat up your own ass to believe in homeopathy
if you don't honestly believe you know better than every scientist and doctor out there, then you can't believe in homeopathy
Hey, snitches get stitches.
One of the homeopathic companies got dinged because their stuff contained actual medicine. Trace amounts of penicillin.
