No
So I am on my jollies and I pop into a nice cafe for some waffles, bacon, egg and syrup....waitress brings food but no cutlery...politely I ask for a knife and fork...she walks the full length of cafe to a cutlery station and shouts over to me "you will find the cutlery you need here!" Then promptly walks back past me to play on her phone at the front door...what a lazy bitch... if she worked for me, I would have her walking straight through the door, never to return....but on a good point the sun is out
 
His sir noticed the "What annoyed me today thread" perchance? Tailor made.

And syrup?! Wtf. HP Brown sauce all the way.
 
Did ya order at the table or at the counter?
 
Should have left her a tip - written in HP sauce on the table.
 
If there was another place nearby, I would just walk up and out. If they can't be bothered providing some decent service they don't deserve my money.
 
I have actually emailed the guy who owns the place...advising him on best customer service practise....;)
 
Did you sign it "Disgruntled of Hythe"? :lol:
 
:D Good to see you back again. But, indeed, that is shoddy service, especially if you have forked out good money.

Perhaps she was showing an interest in your health and thought the bit of exercise for you would be a start on combatting that lot. ;)
 
Assuming as it was table service you hadn't paid at that point I personally would have walked out and left it.
If they serve the food to the table they should bring the utensils with it

Yeah too bloody right!
Who does he thinks she, is a damned waitress or something? :(
 
I was thinking more along the lines of a couple of coppers under the "Next time, bring me some f*****g cutlery" written in HP on the table.
 
Not happy with the service.
Eat and pay anyway.
Complain later.
Soooooo British :lol:

Definitely.
 
Its a cafe not Claridges ffs. You go to the counter, order your breakfast & mug of tea, grab your cutlery and go and sit down. They bring it to your table when its ready. Thats it. End of. Thats why its £6 for 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, toast and mug of tea. And not £18 for a burger and 8 chips on a plank of wood. Seems to be a thread full of sloane rangers or summat. Sheesh.

That made me smile

I went out just the other day with a friend and we had.... burger & chips which came on a bit of wood, my first words to the waiter were... "I would like my food on a plate please & not a bit of old floorboard, oh and I think you forgot to put my chips on"

You did not handle that right.

This is how you do it:-

What is such a place you are talking about? Sounds novel and fun to do it yourself. Do many gentlemen frequent such places? I can't help but think that the novelty wears off, I mean all those hands on the cutlery, I do hope they have someone go round and polish it before use.

Terribly fascinating, I must investigate.
 
Gentlemen don't but blokes like Keith do!!! ;)

If it's cafeteria service, I would expect to have to pick up my own cutlery but table service, even in a caff would indicate to me that they would bring my eating irons and cruet/condiments as required.
 
I'll bloody bring your eating irons and cruet/condiments as required you in a minute!
 
If you could, Keith, I would be most obliged. :D :P

And how many people do you think have had their pee stained hands on your sterling silverwear before setting the table at "Chez Posh Nosh"? ;)

Harrods restaurant - great place for food. Buffet is £37.50 for three courses of brilliant food - yum.

My darling Ruth, why do you think the gloves are white. We can tell when their urine has stained their hands.

I believe that Roberts (the F&C butler/factotum) washes his hands thoroughly in the hand basin outside the gentlemen's gentlemen's bathroom before donning white cotton gloves (fresh every time) and setting the table. The service staff at Chez Posh Nosh possibly don't have his standards of personal hygiene though (and I would expect their cutlery to be EPNS at best too!)

Ones butler should provide one with their travel cutlery set, clean cotton napkin etc. One wonders whether Archangel asked if they had any Gentlemans Relish

At the end of the day, good manners costs nothing. Staff should never be on their own personal phone while working, it's always a bad sign. If they play on the phone, they obviously don't really care about their customers, or the upkeep of the eating, and kitchen area. In catering, there should never be time to play on your phone. There is always cleaning, customer service etc to be done. Even when staff are on their break, they should not loll about the customer area, it creates a bad impression .

Gentlemans relish. That sounds so dodgy, we are referring to the flat in Westminster are we dear boy?
