"The top three targets are boss/manager; wine, women and gambling; and lastly the loan sharks," said Viola.


* Boss/manager
* Wine
* Women
* Gambling
* Loan sharks

Uh, that's three?

I'll bet he got drunk and married his boss on a bet to cover a huge debt.

Pay attention to the semicolons:

1. Boss/manager
2. Wine, women and gambling
3. Loan sharks

It is not just customers who benefit. Isdaan's staff enjoy throwing plates at the "perennially complaining customers" sign.

Well, that's a start.

When they start letting employees wing plates at the complaining customers, send me an application.

because it's the loan sharks' fault you borrowed money from them at a high interest rate.

Don't they have this in Japan too?

I'd buy that for a dollar!

That's with a capital 'F', now.

Breaking stuff is cool when you're mad. It's just too instantaneous to suppress it until I'm at a wall to hurl a dish. If I get really pissed off, whatever's nearest to me is in trouble. It's a bad thing since I'm a fairly big guy, not much stands a chance. Doors, walls, it's not a good scene.

There's a restaurant in/near Chicago called "Ed Debevic's American Diner" where the waiters/waitresses are allowed, even encouraged, to insult and go off on the customers as much as they want if the customers are idiots. This restaurant never has any problems hiring waiters/waitresses. There's a waiting list to work there if the tales I've heard are true. I've never been there, but a couple of my cow-orkers have. (Take with several grains of salt; Reality may not correspond to stories that have passed through several tellers.)

There's this other place, it's called New York City. . .

i used to go to the corvette dinner in san diego, where the waitress would be a total ho bag biatch to customers. good back and forth. no dish throwing, shame.

TFA: Vases and bowls are also available, while the wealthier of the furious patrons can toss an old TV set for 1,300 pesos.

You can get an old TV for $26 in the Phillipines?!

I heard of something like this in Japan a couple years ago. Probably lots more expensive, but you can also smash furniture.
 
2006-04-02 11:02:55 PM  
Not so new. Any angry customer can smash dishes without consequences. Now give me a restaurant where you can sucker punch the staff for being biatches and buttfarkers, and I will make a reservation.

I've heard of the restaurant where the staff can insult the customers, and that sounds cool as hell. However, some people just deserve a salad bowl to the cranium.

There's a place in Milwaukee called the Have a Nice Day Cafe that has the mean/rude server thing too. I don't think it's that rare of an idea.

Great place.

I have seen it happen in Japan and the waiters bow and smile and when you are done, present you with a bill for the damages. The incident I witnesed cost the guy $600.

Traditional Greek restraunts consider it a compliment if you smash your plates against the wall - if the food was good that is.

When I can leave peanut shells on the floor and table at Texas Roadhouse without guilt, we'll talk about going somewhere that allows people to break plates.

Anyway I'd just hurt myself.

DESOLATIONROW

I'm exactly the same, I have a bit of a temper and am prone to smashing whatever is close by when angry. My girlfriend doesn't like it too much but doesn't care really so long as what I'm breaking isn't hers.

I punched a big hole in a bedroom door a few weeks back when really pissed off. Today the landlord came around I had to hang some pants over the door so he wouldn't notice.

I got to get myself in to anger management for something...

This is certainly the place to discuss such important issues. Please, carry on.
