Thread 213970128

Who was in the wrong here?

The guy obviously.

>>213970128 (OP)
The customer is always right as long as he/she pays and he offered to pay for a full chicken sandwich.

>>213970128 (OP)
If you want a meal THAT personalized you should have it in your own house. When you're a restaurant you shouldn't harass the staff with weird demands, just order what's on the menu like normal people.

>go to BBQ place
>demand they replace the pulled pork with a McDonald's burger patty
>CUSTOMERS IS ALWAYS RIGHT YOU HAVE TO DO IT

I’ll have a western omelette, scrapple, no potatoes; tomatoes instead, and rye toast.

Hawk tuah, spit in their food

glad we could have this thread for the tenth time this month

Jack is obviously an asshole here but the waitress's actions are a sign of failing customer service, her job is one of a high schooler who doesn't understand how to make customers happy, she's supposed to move on by now and be a flight attendant or some high class waitress in a fancy restaraunt but instead she's a shitter waitress in a diner which means she doesn't have a single fucking clue how to properly give customer service or she'd be working a job making twice as much
this lack of understanding how to make the customer happy and move on with your job is shown in this scene and she completely fucks the entire thing up, showing why she's just a basic bitch waitress in the first place

Had breakfast out the other day. An omelette with cheese was ten dollars. Adding a protein like ham or bacon was four dollars. Toppings such as onion, green pepper, or mushroom were two dollars each. What the fuck is happening?

These threads are always the same. Zoomers and younger side with the waitress/establishment, everyone older sides with the customer/individuality.

>>213970128 (OP)
If you go to restaurant then you order what's on the menu. I don't go to a country music show and demand they start playing rap.

Bobby's actions are far more egregious. His frustration, though understandable in its origins, turns into a theatrical and destructive tantrum. The famous "hold the chicken between your knees" line is an act of verbal aggression and mockery, but it's the final sweep of the table that solidifies his position as the more culpable party. This act of rage is an external manifestation of his internal rebellion and his inability to cope with life's minor frustrations. It's a destructive and immature act that goes far beyond the waitress's minor transgression. He's not just defying a rule; he's destroying property and creating a public scene.

Bobby's requests, such as the famous "chicken salad sandwich, hold the chicken," were not genuine attempts to get his order. They were designed to highlight the absurdity of the waitress's rules and provoke her into a reaction. He was essentially looking for a loophole to exploit, not a solution to his hunger. This is a classic example of passive-aggressive behavior, where the goal is to create tension and demonstrate superiority rather than to achieve a positive outcome. He could have simply ordered a different item, but his need to exert control and defy authority was more important than getting his toast.

>Americans don't know cheese contains protein

>>213970128 (OP)
Do you autists really remember every scene from every movie you watched years ago?

>>213970319
the customer's job is to order from the fucking menu, that should be easy enough

The duality of man

If only this thread came up like 10 times a week and somebody always posted a webm so I could know the context

>>213970342
>muh individuality
the guy is in a restaurant. if he wanted "individuality" he should have the meal in his own house

>>213970128 (OP)
She was doing her job and doesn’t make the house rules. He was being a cunt to a low paid employee and thinks he’s sticking it to the man. No wonder his generation grew into Karens

>>213970420
idiot, as an employee your job is to pretend to give a shit about the customer. This is why you got replaced with apps and kiosks, because you thought you were down in the trenches fighting the civvies instead of providing a fucking service

>>213970467
They got replaced because the bosses want to save money by not having people to pay by the hour and who have rights. It has nothing to do with providing a quality service to the customer, many of whom would rather speak to a human being. Every week I hear someone complaining about self service in supermarkets and not being able to speak to someone at a desk in the bank

I do this on doordash all the time
order the cheaper item and change all the options until it's the expensive one

>>213970467
the transaction between waitress and customer is simply
>you may pick items listed on the menu, you're specifically told no substitutions
>I WANT HECKIN ICE CREAM AND TOAST AND CEREAL
>that's not on the menu
>BAAAWWWW
>We have the right to refuse you service, good day, you may eat somewhere else or buy food from a grocery store
if you want a Whopper at McDonalds do you expect the clerk to go to Burger King while you wait?

>>213970459
>I was just following orders! You can't blame me for my actions!

Movies like "Five Easy Pieces" ruined boomers
>We have the greatest economy and society in American history, everything is cheap but we have to follow RULES?!?!? NOOOOOOOOO WE MUST HECKIN REBEL
Now look at the state of the American society

>>213970356
Broccoli has an amino acid profile as well, Whats your point? You can denote things based off their culinary application and not their scientific grouping. A zucchini is a fruit but we call it a vegetable because it has more in common with a turnip on a culinary level then a strawberry, despite botanically being a fruit. Cheese is culinarily distinct from a pork tenderloin

>>213970709
>omelette has broccoli in it

>>213970128 (OP)
They were both wrong. checkmate. you're all dumb faggots hahahah.

>>213970749
both were wrong except for the waitress

>>213970749
Yes, this is the point of the movie. Bobby is a whiny bitch but the waitress reflects conformity and rigid adherence to the rules.

If this scene were made in like, 2018 or something they'd have the waitress wear a big button that says "I LOVE RULES" and the manager would be a big black guy who threatens to call corporate

You have to understand the context here.

This was made in 1970. It was time when many of the old mom and pop diners that has vast or no menus were being bought by chains and switching to a more rigid simple menu.
These places changed from being somewhere you can turn up and just order whatever you want within reason, to having to have exactly as it is on the menu.


These days, the idea of going to a diner, knowing the ingredients they have and just making up an order is completely foreign.

This scene shows how a lot of people felt but didn't want to actually act, because they understand its not how understanding mature adults act.

>they'd have the waitress wear a big button that says "I LOVE RULES" and the manager would be a big black guy who threatens to call corporate
kino

>>213970356
American cheese doesn't.

>>213970850
Yknow, that's a very good point actually

>>213970796
Waitress has no way of enforcing the substitution.
She probably knows the people she works with and she knows how likely they are to agree to Jack's request.

>>213970945
>and she knows how likely they are to agree to Jack's request.
Which is why she asked if she should get the manager, she knew he would definitely serve the request. Just being nice and he spat in her face

>>213970945
She's a waitress in a mom-and-pop diner, there's no way she wouldn't be able to swing that -- they're usually chill and accommodating. I mean even fucking Denny's would accommodate a request like that today. Jack was an asshole, but the waitress could've given him a break if she wanted to.

>>213970579

This is retarded and you're acting like he was asking for the moon

spotted the waiter who can't figure out why he doesn't make good tips

>>213970545
extremely vocal boomers who have been coddled their entire lives, even had their groceries carried to their cars for like 50 years, aren't really the kind of people you can point to as being representative of the population of people under 40 who are afraid to interact with eachother

>>213970128 (OP)
I only tip when the waitress goes above and beyond and this lady does the bare fuckin minimum

>>213970579
Yes

>>213970342

Jack was wrong. Diners usually have those disgusting pink gassed tomatoes they put on plates as garnish not to be eaten. Fried potatoes would be better.

>>213970342
No, the difference is people that have actually eaten at diners or not. If you're going to be a picky little bitch you shouldn't be eating at a fucking diner.
