Ok. Let's be reasonable here. I am a food server at a restaurant in the North Shore of Chicago, IL, and I am never amazed at the kind of things people will pick to complain about, and to what extent. I can appreciate complaining for poor quality of food, for poor service or maybe not being seated promptly when your reservation was made. But some things are borderline absurd. Consider:
Some lady actually wrote a three page long complaint letter to the managers. The complaint? The server placed her glass of Merlot on a cocktail napkin!!!!! She reasoned and complained that now she couldn't swirl her wine glass to let it "breathe". She was upset and her night was absolutely ruined.
My answer? GET A CLUE LADY! First of all, anybody who has time to write a THREE PAGE COMPLAINT obviously has too much time on their hands, or is deeply disturbed, or a combination of "A" and "B". Next time, suck it up and take the glass of wine off the cocktail napkin. Can you imagine all the wasted time that went into this ladies letter, the time the managers had to dedicate to address this horrible injustice, and the time it took to send this lady a sincere, heartfelt apology for RUINING HER EVENING?
Can you believe this?

What, was it the wrong type of napkin? Perhaps a brandy napkin? Or, heavens, maybe she needed a sanitary one, instead!
INDEED, sir! I just don't see how putting a woman's wine glass on a cocktail napkin is grounds for a three page complaint letter.... I wish that the worst thing that happened to me on any given day was some food server putting my beverage on a cocktail napkin. Put it in perspective!
