Calm down Strela, It's called customer service.
I would argue that most guests at a restaurant appreciate a little elegance and sophistication when parting with their hard earned cash.
It's people like that who reinforce my inferiority complex, particularly when I see them enjoying themselves. It makes me so mad, to see them in their themed restaurants sitting on upturned flowerpots and guffawing to themselves while they tuck into their giant Bourbon biscuits served by alpaca-borne waitresses wearing a fez on each boob - or was that a dream? I might take myself off to another thread. I'm disillusioned with so much reasoned analysis of a posting about things that annoy me beyond reason. I'm obviously out of my depth. And possibly my tree.I would argue that most guests at a restaurant appreciate a little elegance and sophistication when parting with their hard earned cash.
Olympus camera leads!
Just went to charge up my new camera, grabbed a mini usb lead
But no this is some kind of unique socket known only to them,looks similar shape and size to my old eyes
Great find the box find the lead in there luckily all good
But now of course im going to have to drag that damn lead everywhere, i have had to label it so I can find it among all the hundreds of other leads lying around the house.
It also means if i do forget it i cannot walk into a pound store and get a cheapie and stick it in my phone charger!
No im gonna have to find a camera shop and get bent over because "its genuine olympus sir"
Seriously Olympus just use a real usb like everyone else on the planet! or make the blood lead bright pink so i can find it in the house!

Oh and Olympus using specific lenses unlike Canon or Nikon, who allow folks like Tamron to make lenses under their name, so instead of getting a 70-300mm zoom lens for £170, i have to buy the olympus one at £320!

Ah, but its what accompanies the chips in this instance.
I kind of get that, a restaurant has higher overheads than a takeaway. Footprint, waiting staff, cleaning, washing etc etc. But chips are as cheap as ..... er chips. Ill pay good money for a decent steak in a nice place but I want a decent portion of chips, that's the cheap bit. king pile of thin french fries with my meal. Delicious. None of that thrice cooked (does leaving it on a radiator count as once?) cooked chips bks where you get 4 of then served in a miniature Fez. james_tigerwoods said:
I think the message is getting through. I make a point of checking when my food order is being taken and I ask for a plate. Twice this year I have been told that there was no need to ask as the restaurant no longer uses boards etc. due to the hostility from customers on the issue. One restaurant even had a sign up which said "Relax, we only serve food on plates".People who think that we have Presidential elections in this country, and keep banging on about how they are voting for Jeremy Corbyn next election.
You don't vote for him, unless you happen to live in his constituency, and even then you are voting for him to be a MP not the PM. You vote for the party, and if that party wins then the leader of that party gets made PM.
We had to go through this st when Gordon Brown became PM too - people saying he was the "unelected PM". That's right, you dullard, because that's how it works. The party elects its leader - you have no say in the matter.

The vast majority of the electorate have no idea how our parliamentary system works.You don't vote for him, unless you happen to live in his constituency, and even then you are voting for him to be a MP not the PM.

With you. I'd happily pay another £1 on the bill if I can have a massive fking pile of thin french fries with my meal. Delicious. None of that thrice cooked (does leaving it on a radiator count as once?) cooked chips bks where you get 4 of then served in a miniature Fez.
I never got the ultra crispy, three times fried chip thing. When I get chips from the chip shop - I actually prefer them to be slightly under.king pile of thin french fries with my meal. Delicious. None of that thrice cooked (does leaving it on a radiator count as once?) cooked chips bks where you get 4 of then served in a miniature Fez. I hate over cooked, crispy chips.
"I'm a bit of a perfectionist." If you can cope with partial perfection you aren't a perfectionist, and certainly you wouldn't be able to cope with such a dreary pointless excuse of a character definition.
Also see anyone who claims to be "a bit OCD". Slightly obsessive? Mildly compulsive? Or do you just use expensive car wax? It's the wax isn't it?
