To the manager at a certain Burnside restaurant. Here’s a trip. When 60 people show up for a planned birthday party, don’t treat them like shit! Don’t scream at them for not hanging up their coats! Don’t freak out because someone brought (gasp) a wedding cake!!! After the food they ordered arrives (30 minutes later) don’t say “Eat it quick. We want to seperate the tables”. And don’t generally make them feel like unwanted guests. If you stopped being a cunt for 1 second, we would have stayed, rather than leaving only an hour and a half after arriving. You have lost 60 customers forever. Maybe more once the word gets out.

And what certain Burnside restaurant is this? I’d like to make a point of not patronizing it.
