There are things that seem to happen more often when people are at a banquet, as opposed to just dining out with the family. Most significantly, the lack of use of the word “please” and the lack of patience. Why is it people develop the attitude that the servers working their banquet are less human than the one serving your table of four?
One woman hit a double whammy the other night. She left her banquet room, stormed into the main dining room and announced to the first server she saw (who was at a table) “I need a spoon!” First of all, if your lack of a spoon is going to cause the universe to crumble, we thank you for not letting that happen. Second, we set a spoon at every place setting, so either you set it down someplace, or someone else decided to use it…..and third, thank you for proving to us what we already suspected, you have no manners, no patience and no class. Tell ya what….since you’ve viewed this misplacement of spoon as such a personal affront, let me go find you a solid gold spoon, then you can slip it into your purse when you leave.
Your arrogant behavior is not a display of class, it is simply a display of arrogance and your self perceived importance. I’d be willing to bet that others at your banquet (not to mention those dining at the table you stormed over to) have the same reaction we do….we all roll our eyes back. Not to mention that those dining out with their children have just used you as an example of how not to behave in public.
However, just to reassure you, you did draw attention to yourself…everyone knows who you are….and the impression you left, is not a good one.
