weird restaurant experience

My friend and I walked into a swanky Chinese Beverly Hills restaurant. She is Cuban and I am Asian. I asked her what she was thinking of ordering. She said, "I'll probably get the Kung Pao chicken but not white rice since I don't like white rice."

Then out of nowhere, the waiter says, "Well its not like we serve BURRITOS here."
He smirks and then walks away.

My friend and I look at each other in amazement and then kinda laugh at the audacity/rudeness the waiter has to say something like this. I'm guessing he said this because he thought she was Mexican or something.

Nonetheless, we stayed and ate cuz the food is good but didnt tip the damn waiter. 😀

What other weird restaurant stories do you have?
 
I got hit in the back with a table that a waiter was carrying in front of him.

He turned around and said oops.

That was it, opps, WTF no sorry.

Bunch of savages in this town!!

Ahh but your forgetting it's a chinese restaurant! you know how some asians can get sometimes.....
 
I don't condone violence.. I would have wanted to seriously hurt that guy... but that guy deserved more than he (didn't) got... er... You should have gotten him fired or something.
 
frizzle: The Mandarin on Camden

monto and smp: Yeah, more than anything we just laughed in increduality at his statement, but I'm sure Claudia (my friend) must have felt bad inside. 🙁 I know if the situation was reversed I would have been like WTF! I asked her if she wanted to complain but she didnt think it was worth it...It's weird because in Beverly Hills (where there's TONS of medical offices) I would say at least half the nurses are Hispanic and they obviously go out to eat in these restaurants. I'm REALLY surprised that the waiter said something so awfully rude, but as an Asian, I KNOW how rude some Asian waiters/waitresses can be (believe I have experienced it firsthand)
 
Hey next time. Take her to the Crustacean. Well that's if you guys like seafood and enjoy eating dungenous crab out the shell. 😀 Their garlic butter rice.... mmmm..... 😉
 
Yeah, I'll have my bf take me there some time. 🙂 I keep on hearing rave reviews about that place, but I heard its REALLY pricey, but good thing he pays for everything! 🙂
I also want to try out The Palm (I heard its better than Ruths Cris for steak!) before I leave LA.
 
OH geez! my bad. I thought this was a date! hahaha 😱
Yeah Crustacean is pricey. $40 per crab. Its decent crab. But it's the atmosphere I like best. There's this fish tank that's built into the ground. You'll have to see it! it's awesome.

-edit-
Went there a few times with some buddies. Came out to about $100 per person. We had wine, desert, the works.
 


<< Wow 40$ for a crab seems like alot
Do you get a back massage too? >>


backroom....

What do I get for $40
anything you want!
anything?
anything! 😉
 
At a Pizza Hut once, was sitting in a booth with friends. Stretched my arms out and pushed up under the brass bar on the top of the seatback. Turns out the screws meant to hold it in place were not in, so it popped right off and hit the people sitting behind us on their heads. 😱
 
Ah, another event.

I was eating at an asian noodle place (New Tung Kee in Santa Clara, CA) and there was some gas leak in the vincity and they had to clear out the place and other surrounding areas.

Seeing my oppertunity...I quickly ate my food, left with everyone. Then walked calmly to my car, and left. Oops, forgot the bill...
 
A waitress smacked me once 🙂 It was out of fun thought, i made some funny smart-a$$ comment and got a hand upside the head for it. All out of fun though!
 
Just remembered another one from a couple of decades ago. Got bits of watermelon in all of our food at The Village Inn Pancake House once because there had been a foodfight in the kitchen. 😀
 
I'd have gotten up and left at that comment. Even if she wasn't visibly upset. Then lodged a complaint with the manager. No excuse for that kind of comment, even if &quot;some asian waiters are mean.&quot; Because the KKK exists doesn't make it right for me to make racist comments.

A while back, a bunch of my friends and I went to dinner at The Olive Garden, cause we wanted cheap itialian food (that wasn't Fazoli's). The waiter came with our drinks, balanced dangerously on one hand above his shoulder. He should have set the tray down, cause there were a lot of us. He was standing between me and my friend, and he started taking drinks off the opposite side of the tray from me. The chairs at The Olive Garden are on castors, so I readied myself to get back as fast as I could. About that time, the tray tipped my way, and I pushed away from the table, my shoe got hit, but I stayed dry. My buddy got soaked, good thing we ordered ice tea 😀

Had a similar close call at the opening day of EP1. My buddies and I were sitting waiting for it to start, and I see this guy coming with a tray of what looks like several large cokes. Of course, its the barely-thick cardboard tray, and its bending badly. And then it gave way, and I was showered in popcorn. That would have sucked if it had been pop.
 
Im always havign mishaps at restaraunts. I had a string of lights come down on my head at jack a$$tors and a whole meal turned upside down in my lap at Uno's.
 
Had a waitress drop a knife right between my legs while I was sitting at the table. There was a moment of silence while everyone waited for my reaction.

Luckily it missed.
 
I once had to administer the Heimlich maneuver to a friend at Perkin's (a midwestern family-restaurant chain) in Madison, Wi at about 3 am when he choked on stale toast from his sandwich.
