The customer is always right

As soon as I placed the plate of spaghetti onto the table, the guest whined peevishly. “There is cheese! Why do you put it?”

“This dish comes with cheese in it.“ I replied.

“I cannot eat cheese.” The guest raised his voice.

“You instructed me not to use put oil in the spaghetti but you did not mention anything about cheese.” I reminded him.

“If I cannot take oil it also means that I cannot take cheese.”

Oh, it is nice to know that someone regards oil and cheese as the same thing. Anyway, the customer is always right. So the chef cooked another plate of spaghetti without oil and without cheese.

A few days later, the manager informed me that it was my fault for not informing the guest beforehand that the plate of spaghetti comes with cheese. In my opinion, the logic is a bit twisted. If that is what should be done, then I should also inform the guest about the salt, pepper, parsley, water, wheat (for making the spaghetti) etc. If a guest orders a complicated roast beef, then is it necessary to inform him about the various spices, oil, wine, rosemary, thyme, salt, sugar etc Nobody does that, come on.

If someone is allergic to cheese, there is also someone who is allergic to pepper or salt. So it is usually the guest who inform the restaurant what he does not like in his plate. Not the other way round.

The policy in this restaurant stipulates that the waiter pays for the mistake he makes. The plate of spaghetti costs $28.00. My daily wages is $24.00. So it means that I have to pay $4.00 to work in a place, something that I believe doesn’t exist in any part of the world.

Ok, to avoid argument, go ahead and deduct it from my salary. But since I have paid, I want to have that spaghetti, the one with cheese in it, which they considered was my mistake. I am the one who pays, so that makes me a customer too.

So where is my spaghetti? So whoever threw that spaghetti away the other day, should pay for it now.

I want my spaghetti. The customer is always right, remember?
