This weeks crybaby thought that it was okay to put on his plate only the meat from the **black bean stir fry** on offer at a smorgasbord restaurant. When he was told that was not acceptable etiquette he asked for his money back and was refunded the $15 he had paid. That should have been the end of the story but he and his partner then went on to complain about it to the media.

> A confrontation with a Napier restaurant owner over smorgasbord etiquette has left a bad taste in the mouth of two of its customers.  
>  
> \[…\] “We both selected from the smorgasbord option and my partner got the $15 option and selected rice and sweet and sour pork and a few other things,”   
> \[…\] But it all went wrong at the black bean stir fry, as Guildy avoided the large “hard” chunks of broccoli, **only picking the meat** while a staff member “watched him like a hawk”.  
> “He has false teeth, so he’s not actually able to have hard foods, so a majority of the food he was selecting was soft.  
> “The woman began to raise her voice, saying ‘no more meat! You have to have the veges too!’  
> “My partner explained he couldn’t eat the broccoli because of his teeth, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She said **if he just wanted meat he’d have to order ‘just meat’ off the menu.”**  
> Harrison said the woman began banging the spoon on the tray, ordering Guildy to add more vegetables to his selection.  
> Shocked by the service, Guildy changed his mind and asked for a refund, which he was given.

> Rice Canteen Marewa owner Tina Lou said Guildy was taking only meat and no vegetables.  
> “It was a mixed order, but he took just meat, which means it would have been a different charge.  
> “**Meat is expensive,** but if you have meat and vegetables together it would work under that order. Meat just on its own comes under a different charge.  
>  
> “The man just picked the meat, another customer might have wanted the meat and vegetables together.  
> “I told the man not just to take the meat because another customer would want to order it.”  
>  
> \[…\] “People don’t always realise what slim profit margins hospitality businesses have, there is a lot of pressure, particularly with increasing food costs and other compliance costs,”   
> \[…\] “I would imagine that the owner was also mindful about needing to manage expectations for all of her customers – the next customer is going to have an expectation that both vegetables and meat will be in the dish.”
