My father-in-law
Always visits a certain roadside restaurant on the A1, which shall remain nameless but has a small fat cook as its logo. The service in this particular establishment is always dire, but on one occasion managed to fall far short of their normal low standards. I don't know the exact details, but maybe they served it in a dog bowl or something.

Most people would pay up and never visit the place again. Other people would complain or refuse to pay.

My f-i-l doesn't say a word, pays as normal but ensures all the cleaning materials from the toilets leave in the car with him. I think he's still working through the industrial Toilet Duck a few years later.

I think I know that particular caff.
I've eaten there three times without paying the staff are that demotivated and dim.

They're all just as bad
If KFC hire the staff that can't hack it in McDonalds, the staff that can't hack it in KFC are employed by Diminutive Cook.

The service is invariably abysmal. I recall my wife calling in for takeaway coffees on the way back from Llandudno and pointing out to the till-mong that the milk in the Thermos jug was only fit for Miss Muffet.

The response was a mere shrug of the shoulders that so eloquently communicated the "So what? What do you expect me to do about it?" attitude of said mong. Until my wife asked if they actually had any fresh milk, mong had no intention of doing anything other than continue to exhibit a complete absence of gorm.

In fairness though
Would you work there? Would anyone you know work there?
It's a true example of pay peanuts and get monkeys.

Forget poor service
I was in a Little Chef on the A1 recently and the toilets were filthy!
