I recently visited my favourite eating establishment and to my dismay they had run out of my preffered caviar! I summoned my limousine and have vowed never to return. Furthermore I did not tip the maitre'd lavishly as I normally would (as you can understand I'm sure). Would you be equally incensed at such an affront?

Oh, yeah, my knickers'd surely be twisted.

Oh, dear me! An affront, to be sure! I would have been incensed! Was it your private reserved stock? And they gave it away to, gasp, to Bill Clinton? My, it is time for a change. You should take your custom to another establishment, immediately!
Wassa madder, bubba, did Burger King screw up and leave the pickle off your Whopper? LOL. Tell 'em next time you go thru the drive-up, you will take your custom elsewhere, if they have the audacity to omit the sour gerkin from your order yet again. and be sure to look at the window guy's face when he gets the bored huh look on his face. Tell your limo driver to ask for double pickles, since you got stiffed. .

No! I had a similar experience at my favorite eating establishment. They had run out of my preferred Filet-O-Fish, so I flipped-off the drive-thru microphone and drove off in my '84 Chevy Celebrity...after I filled the leaking radiator with water from the drink dispenser...and vowed to never return.

You favorite eating establishment didn't have anything else on the menu that was to your liking? In my opinion, I feel you over-reacted and I'm afraid it may be awkward to return there the next time you find yourself in a caviar craving mood.

Methinks you were too mild! One should stand at the trouble and loudly denounce the food as well as the character of the servants, question their parentage, throw the napkin upon the table in disgust and storm from the building. Then write a terse letter of complaint to the restaurant as well as your local MP and newspaper. My word, what a travesty!

You sure are! Outraged about something sooo simple like that? So to your specialty store and keep those fish eggs on stock in your own cupboard so you won't have to have a tantrum. If you can flake so fast over something so little I'd hate to see you if someone cheated you of money, you'd probably loose your mind!!

Well silly, you should have gone to the one up the street. They have much better caviar and even big parking spaces for limos.

Are you serious...no seriously....if its all that important...walk your happy *** down to the local grocery and buy you a jar. But not tipping the waiter...shame...shame on you....its not his fault but the manager of the restaurant. No wait...I got a better idea....call your private assistant and order her to have your delicacy flown in from Paris on the next flight...oh heck...have them fly in the chief too just to make sure your happy.

Why are you eating in restaurants at all? Surely your club has better caviar than any restaurant.

You would not even know about Yahoo Answers if you had that problem. Your question in Yahoo Answers is an oxymoron.

For those who are used to it, I couldn't care less. But if it were at my local restaurant, I'd find it to be a breach of etiquette.
