Also just to say. If I was a waiter for Day9 and he did these things, there would be absolutely no problem, because that is Day9, he is a playful/silly. Problem is, not everyone knows him, so the waiter just saw some obnoxious guy trying to get his attention.
Which scenario would you rather be involved in: Customer tries to get your attention for more food/drinks, which you bring them promptly or you take forever, customers get pissed, leave a shitty tip cause the waiter did his job shitty, and then the waiter is pissed?

What's more disrespectful? Pointing at someone or calling someone an ass and "attention craving little kid"?
What Day9 did was immature, but most people wouldn't be incredibly offended from it. I think that you're probably more offended than the waiter was....

Attention craving little kid was basically the same as Incontrol saying hermoine granger, cept maybe slightly meaner. They were both images used to explain.

Incontrol could you tell us your thoughts on restaurant etiquette? The world must know!

What? No. JP are his initials for his first and middle name, he just calls himself JP.

Jeeze, how can you not see by being "supposedly" mean to waiters that you are KILLING ESPORTS? Don't you want Starcraft 2 to succeed? I think you should apologize

man looking at these pictures of PAX make me sooo excited for MLG Columbus. I cant wait to go and experience the amazingness that is to come!
|
I've worked in the food industry as a waiter/caterer and now as a chef and raising your hand for service is never been considered rude. Would you rather have surly customers leave a crap tip becuase they waited 10 mins for a refill.
|
STFU ABOUT THE FOOD INDUSTRY PLEASE!
|
We are definitely killing E-Sports by keeping a SC2 podcast bumped from discussing what happened in said podcast. Sorry e-sports, I didn't mean to hurt you so
