Why Singapore’s service sucks.
May 10, 2008
Ahoy! I’m going to teach all the nubcakes in the serving industry how to serve!
1. When a family of three enters the restaurant, do not ask them what time they would finish their meal and state that there would be no seats unless the family could finish their meal before 1.30.
2. When the family humbly agreed to do so and when you direct them to a table with four seats, do not suggest where each of the family member should sit. Just shut up and don’t act smart. They can sit on any chair around the table they want, even if they want to sit on the table. You shouldn’t even say a thing.
3. Reply when you’re being spoke to, don’t act mute.
4. Be gentle and treat the plates with caution, even when collecting the plates please be quieter and ask before keeping the plate.
5. Do not place an extra chair for another family when the table is only for four chairs. It obstructs other families dining.
6. Do not bump into a little kid and spill some hot soup on him/her. Never try to apologise in your lousiest language.
7. Say “Excuse me” before moving in to replace tray of empty food. Do no barge in with your shoulders and replace the tray.
8. Do not collect the bill when it’s 1.25 and try to chase the family of three away because it’s five minutes to 1.30.
9. Be more aware if little kids(like me) are taking the Cocktails placed there for adults, for their own consumption.
One golden rule to employers:
NEVER FUCKING EMPLOY CHINESE CITIZENS TO SERVE IN A RESTAURANT.
Maybe this is why Singapore failed in this whole serving thing. (Minus National Service:That was a huge success.)

Hello Michael,
I seldom (or never) reply to comments, but anyways, thanks for leaving two of your comments. Which I find very amusing since the first is an insult and the latter is a one-word-apology kind of comment. Furthermore, how did you get here?
I’ll presume you’re a waiter and you’re offended because you misinterpreted this post like some dumb piece of writing and you took no effort in realizing the post’s focus statement, who it was directed to and which point of view I was writing from. Neither did you realize that I was writing in an absurd format. In which, I used this format (by listing why Singapore’s service sucks) to describe my little experience in a restaurant with horrible service and to express my disappointment with the very, very rude Chinese waiters. You have also failed to notice that this post was categorized under the category “humour”. Though, I would have to agree that it’s one of my failed attempts to create humour.
PS: Don’t worry; I’ll award you with A+ for effort and courage.
Hopefully you’re reading this comment because you didn’t leave any weblog domain for me to contact you.
See you around.
