From the desk of Jane Galt:Prozac Patrol
From today's Wall Street Journal:
HE SURE CAN DISH IT OUT: Talk about the waiter from hell. When Darlene Keller asked server Jonathan Voeltner to substitute veggies for potatoes with her steak, the Sizzler waiter didn't take it well. According to the Los Angeles Times, after following the Kellers to their Corona, Calif., home, Mr. Voeltner and two accomplices used eggs, syrup, sugar, toilet paper and instant mashed potato flakes to trash the place. Mr. Keller called the cops, and his wife immediately recognized the culprit. "Oh my God!" she told police. "It's the waiter from Sizzler."Posted by Jane Galt at June 13, 2003 8:12 AM | TrackBack | Technorati inbound links
Those Philistines!
...eggs, syrup, sugar, toilet paper and instant mashed potato flakes...
Obviously this is a work of Art that the "waiter" (who's really an artist) installed in their home to thank them for pursuing their healthy vegetable-based lifestyles rather than swallowing the Potato Industry's provincial notions of steak accompaniments.
Clearly they are unworthy of his genius.
And just how does one diffrentiate between toilet paper and instant mashed potato flakes?
Sizzler's new ad campaign:
If our food doesn't make you gag, our service will.
Yeah... I'm totally certain that Voeltner went to all that trouble because of a simple substitution request.
Some people treat waiters like second-class citizens. While that doesn't excuse Voeltner, I would bet, karmically, Keller had it coming to her.

You never know, Bob. Some people can't control their anger. For example, I was once working in a clerical job, and someone called me and asked me to take down a message and tape it to the office door of someone who was out that day. About 30 minutes later the caller called back and asked if I had delivered the message. I replied, politely, that I was very busy that morning and hadn't had time to do it.
The caller drove for two hours to my workplace and attempted to club me to death with the bottom of an office chair (the metal swivelly part with wheels -- heavy).
Perhaps my people skills could use some work, but I don't think my karma is so bad that I deserved to have my skull caved in for failing to promptly deliver a phone message to someone who was not there to receive it.
The waiter was probably upset when she refused to acknowledge his claim that "Potatoes ARE vegetables."
That would make an excellent commercial for ... oh, I don't know, any steakhouse other than Sizzler?
Having once worked at a restaurant myself, I have learned never to upset the people who handle my food and beverages. You never know what you might be eating or drinking.
John, you can treat your waiter as well as you please, it won't get the rats out of the storeroom.
May I direct you to a site that details what the waitstaff do against people who upset them?
This is why I own dogs. After chasing off the culprits they can clean up the mess by eating it.
Ummm. Eggs, syrup, sugar and toilet paper. Makes the cat turds they usually want to eat look like a ....well, a cat turd.

Good Lord. This man must be related to the Soup Nazi.
Bob you're an idiot. This guy clearly is a psycho. He has a lot of anger issues he needs to work out, I doubt the customers pissed him off THAT much.
