    If wait staff has anything negative at all to say about a table, they're getting worse food. These are my friends and you don't get yo treat them badly and expect a nice meal from me.

      I'm guessing you're a line cook? You guys are the backbone of the entire operation and the gods of the restaurant. If there's anyone you don't want to piss off in a restaurant, it is the line cooks.

      I can also take your word for that, having personally seen line cooks beat a customer to a pulp because they sucker punched a waitress half their size.

        If you're a customer and someone from the kitchen has stopped making food and left the kitchen to address you as a problem, you are in an incredibly unsafe position. I've had to ask people to leave at a couple gigs when they've been outright abusive and they leave in a hurry. Part of the trick there is to have a rolling pin or something else with you. Don't bring a knife, thats going way too hard and isn't safe to cross the restaurant with, but the kitchen is full of things that are also fantastic weapons and it's full of dudes who work a very physical job, are pretty pissed off usually anyway and have a pretty high percentage of employees who have been to prison and wouldn't mind going back compared to most workplaces. Someone striking a server is for sure a beat down offense
