Heh. As a former sushi chef, some of the customers can be extremely aggravating. For example, I had a mom who was rushing to see a movie complain at me for not making her 20 piece nigiri combo in 5 minutes. ("I have a movie to catch, can you hurry up?" :eyeroll: [5 Minutes later] "Still not done yet? I ordered this thing ten minutes ago!") For those outside of the know, Nigiri takes a while to make (select fish, cut fish, individually knead and form nigiri). The only other chef on the bar was a new trainee who could not make nigiri.

Another Friday, we were slammed for lunch, and in the middle of the lunch rush, some lady comes in and, full of reproach and attitude, complains to my trainer/mentor (a very experienced sushi chef) that her rolls "are too loose," while taking the rolls apart and basically indicating 'what is this shit?' (Sushi rolls are supposed to be more towards the loose side so they can 'explode' when you bite in to it).

It was one thing for people to come up and request that they're in a rush, or they're dissatisfied with their rolls, but many of the customers were pretty rude. I don't care if we are a service industry, just because I'm serving you, does not mean common courtesy goes out the window. A privileged attitude and bad manners make me dislike you.
