“I would thank you to never come back to my restaurant.”
It should go without saying that wealth doesn’t give someone carte blanche to treat people as they wish—especially those in service positions—but sometimes people need reminders. While bad or entitled behavior happens far too often, one chef called out a group of diners who racked up a high bill at his restaurant but treated a member of his staff poorly.
Lee Skeet is a chef at Cora, in Cardiff, UK, and he recently shared an email he penned to one of the people in the group. The diners spent $1,200 on dinner—the highest his restaurant has seen—but that didn’t stop him from speaking on his co-worker’s behalf.

Good man!
A friend of mine went through a situation like that, when she was working as a waitress while studying (she is from Namibia, but she studied in Southafrica). Some rich guy treated her like crap to impress his friends or whatever, and afterwards he wanted to give her a huge tip (as a compensation???), which she refused to accept. I think she lost that job, because her boss also wanted her to accept the tip, but she didn’t. As if the rude guy could wash himself clean with a big tip. People like Lee Skeet from the story and her, are the real heroes.
