Is the customer always right

[Salty]

Customer kicked out of Olive Garden because child was afraid of the trans waiter
The father asked for another waiter - rather he was forced to leave the restaurant.

Now, if you think this family was unfairly kicked out -
Should this family have the right to the waiter of their choice.

Mind you - its not what you think is right or wrong - but does the family
have the right to the service they desire?

It has never been the case that "The customer is always right"...
Henry Gordon Selfridge created that maxim and he died bankrupt.

Your articles, however, are disturbing, because I do not worship military veterans...
I am a Marine Corps infantry veteran....I don't care if the father of the little girl was a veteran or not.

Military Veterans are not entitled to special consideration.

A veteran worth their salt does their time, makes their sacrifice and expects no special treatment upon reintegrating into civilian society upon their return to normal citizenship....

MANY MANY MANY so called "veterans" are simply pathetic welfare queens demanding more tax-payer funded gimmes from the hard-working civilians who paid them in the first place.

I'm allowed to say that....Again: I personally suffered a broken back, a shattered nose and some serious hearing loss from my time. I'm a Marine Corps Infantry vet of foreign wars....
I also, don't think anybody owes me some special consideration for it...

We do this in service of our country, and we earn freedom in return... It is no less than every man ought to be willing to do for his country, and his future kin.

Being a "Veteran" doesn't entitle you to be an insufferable Karen demanding that the civilian world bends over backwards to your demands.

I think you took the Veteran background totally the wrong way.
He was simply saying that he fought for freedom - and yet he is denied that same privilege.
He never implied that a non-vet should be treated any differently.

 

[HeirofSalvation]

Also....a "trans-man" is a terrifying and gross creature who would terrorize a small child...and no intelligent restaurant would employ them in a customer service role...because "trans-men" are more terrifying than clowns.
It's evil on it's face...

The article is only stupid because daddy thought it mattered that he was a "veteran".

He was right, either way, even if he was a civilian roofer who spent 40 hours a week in July on top of roofs keeping the rain off of your welfare-queen veteran's heads.

I think you took his complaint more seriously because he was a veteran, and the veteran himself insisted that we take his complaint more seriously because of that...

He mentioned his veteran status in his response.

Here he is demanding special treatment:
“I took an oath that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I fought tyranny overseas on multiple combat tours. I looked tyranny in the eye and felt its wrath on my back. I know what tyranny is and have lived on the receiving end of it,” he continued. “And now. I have experienced tyranny at your restaurant, by your hand. You wanted me to celebrate sin or leave. It is crystal clear that you are promoting and advancing trans-tyranny.

Alright, I'm done worshipping "veterans" who are just demanding Karens...
I'm out...
I'm out.

I don't do that.
I have zero respect for any veteran who does.

[ @HeirofSalvation = This waiter was a transwoman, not a transman. He was born a male, but is living as a woman.]

I feel there is more to this story than meets the eye.

I have been waited on by cashiers, waiters, and more who are gay and trans.

I make a habit NOT to demand another person as that is hateful - in my opinion. But not all conservative Republicans and Christians share my view. Some would make the demand to have another person help them.

I would much rather show kindness, peace, NOT acceptance, and the love of Christ with those people.

We are going to HAVE to answer for how we treat people here.

If this little girl was as terrified as her father claimed, he should have taken her to another restaurant. That's what I would have done.

I don't try to keep up with non-sense terminology like this. Terms like these should not exist at all and are not worthy of correction.
A man acting and dressing like a woman is terrifying to a child.

I have been waited on by cashiers, waiters, and more who are gay and trans.

Gay is often one thing...rarely is a simply gay man (for instance) clownishly abnormal even if they act strange. If anything, they are soft and effiminate and non-threatening. A 6' 4" beast with broad shoulders, gigantic hoop earrings, caked-on make-up, and a booming voice in a dress is different.
I can genuinely believe that that could scare a child. No one should hire such a person as a waiter.

I make a habit NOT to demand another person as that is hateful - in my opinion.

That depends...if your assigned waitstaff terrifies your child...you are not wrong to ask for a different waiter/waitress... I worked for years as a waiter. It's normally quite easy to replace one person with another (especially if it is a busy evening. If it isn't busy, it is harder)

But not all conservative Republicans and Christians share my view. Some would make the demand to have another person help them.

The mere fact that someone is "trans" is no reason IMO to ask them to be replaced.
If they are scaring my child....that's a reason... a decent father has no choice but to act.

I would much rather show kindness, peace, NOT acceptance, and the love of Christ with those people.

That's acceptance.

We are going to HAVE to answer for how we treat people here.

Yes, and a father who refuses to protect his terrified little girl will answer for his refusal to treat her the way she deserves to be treated.

If this little girl was as terrified as her father claimed, he should have taken her to another restaurant.

Alternatively, if done appropriately...he could also simply ask for another waiter/waitress....that is not (depending on how he went about it) innappropriate. He may have been rude about it.
I suspect he probably was rude, or undiplomatic actually...but we don't know.

I apologize. I wasn't trying to be "corrective".

Jesus said to be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves." I try to understand these things as best I can.

No reason to apologize. They're just non-sense is all.

He shouldn’t have waited to be asked to leave.

As soon as the restaurant exposed his child to a mentally ill man that thinks he is a woman, he should have left and vowed to himself never to go back.

peace to you

 

[Alan Gross]

Why didn't he just ask the manager for a quilt he could throw over this source of unsightliness that even a child, after all, could appreciate?

His knee-jerk reaction and rejection was just met with their own knee-jerk reaction and rejection, in return.

Too late to ask if they had something closer to the window so he could look for his big-tipper friends that were coming and that'd be a lie anyway.

Asking if they had a booth set or one closer or father away from the light, or whatever the excuse, might have been needed, if this was that waiter's 'table'.

Obviously, they have more clientele than they need, without catering to the tastes of all the different people they know will be visiting.

Whether they have adopted this particular species of 'grooming', as a portion of their Mission Statement, we don't know for sure.

However, avoiding eatery discomfort from less than a doppelganger for a waitress/waiter does appear to be a strong natural portion of His Mission Statement. He needs to just Roll with it. That's the way he rolls.

There are certainly more appetizing locations to find his family a meal, safe and sound, in one healthy piece.

Is the customer always right, per the OP?

Indubitably.

That father is right that he shouldn’t allow a restaurant to subject his little girl to a scary trans. He would be even more right to make sure his daughter never thinks that such a trans is normal and nothing to fear.

The tyranny of trans is about much more than just waiting tables. They invade the restrooms little girls use. Moving to another table or getting another waiter won’t fix that.

RT- Do you think that Dad should have just left the restaurant on his own?

I’m all for brave souls raising a righteous ruckus. But they should know that they will become targets, and their precious children may pay that price as well. Best to first count the cost.
