We went to Papaya last night. I had heard too many good things from too many sources not to try it out. Unfortunately, I still don't know what the food there tastes like, because I was never served. The waiter was extremely rude and left us unattended for 20 minutes without so much as a drink order, so we left.
I kept thinking that if I ever treated a paying customer with contempt where I work, I'd be fired. Then again, I understand that the people who patronize my company indirectly provide my paycheck. Was it because I offered to hold the door for the waiter on my way in, seeing that his hands were full, before I was shooed away? Or because I asked my guest if she preferred to sit at one of the many open, unreserved outdoor tables even though the option wasn't provided to us? Please tell me, prissy little man.

Poor waitering is totally unacceptable. You are exactly right to think that you would be shit-canned for acting that way at work, and he should be, too. I recommend to all that when you walk out of a restaurant, you make sure to tell someone why. Tell the host/hostess, tell the manager - make sure that stupid fuck waiter gets in trouble. Now, be prepared if a competent manager tries to fall all over you to get you to stay - but I think that the strongest move is to say "There is nothing you can do to entice me to dine here tonight or ever again or to tell my friends anything but what an awful establishment this is", then to leave. They hate that shit.
The closest I ever came to punching a coworker was when I was a waiter and someone would pull crap like this, and I saw several people fired on the spot for it.
