Was the apology public? I thought the piece said that Corden apologized to the owner and the owner made it public. But I did not read the original article so I may have missed something.
I eat out fairly often and try to always be forgiving of any problems. Serving and cooking is a tough job. Plus I am not comfortable pissing off people who handle food I am about to put in my mouth. My wife in the other hand, while not a total Dick, takes the position that we are paying a pretty high price for food and service, and if it is not as expected we should make it known. The main result of all that is I tip a bit over average. I can’t remember a time, in a nice restaurant, where, if I politely brought a problem to my servers attention it was not resolved quickly and effectively, often with part or all of the order being put on the House. The only time I can remember demanding to be given food for free is when we were made to wait like an hour for the food which we then had no time to fully eat as we had to get to the theater. The manager saw me getting upset and rushed over to tear up the check. Afterwards I did feel a bit like a jerk for overreacting, and went back the next day and apologized and offered to pay. He refused but thanked me. On Tue, 18 Oct 2022 at 11:57 AM Tom Wolper <[email protected]> wrote: > What McNally did was obnoxious and unethical.
