Some suck from last week:
Dear Sir,
Yes, there is going to be a wait for a table. Quite a bit of one. You are in a busy, popular restaurant. In New York City. On a SATURDAY NIGHT. Why do you look so surprised? And yelling "NO. I want to sit down NOW!" in that nasty tone of voice is not going to help. In fact, the opposite. See me? Hostess? With my little waiting list here? I call names off it. And just because your name is on the list doesn't mean I can't seat someone else first when your name comes up if you're really PISSING ME THE HELL OFF. And guess what? If you go complain to the manager that it's taking too long? They will come ask me when you came in. I will tell them. And they will laugh. Don't try to push me around. I've seen it all.
Thank you and goodnight.
