    Default How would you like your eggs?

    I have lived so long I thought I had seen it all

    But no, having pint of Titanic something or other in Denmead Queen (JD Wetherspoon) a family, eating breakfasts, not drinking complained about the eggs. Not to their liking it seems

    Must say the eggs did look thrown on the plates and hardly cooked with TLC

    Waiter took the eggs away, and came back with obviously freshly fried ones

    Dad poked the fresh eggs with his dirty & used knife, proclaimed them not suitable

    Waiter took eggs away

    Came back with more fresh ones,

    Ditto knife poking, ditto waiter going away

    Family continue scoffing breakfasts

    Waiter comes back with yet more eggs

    Not accepted

    By this time family have finished breakfast anyway

    Manageress comes over, and yet again offers apology, and gives refund in full

    Now, is it me?

    FFS you are in Wetherspoon's not Le Manoir Aux Quat's Saisons

    You are paying around £5 , not £500

    Hat's off to waiter & manageress, I would have just tipped the breakfasts over the diners heads

    But, is it me?

    I had a very indifferent meal in a Harvester the weekend just gone.

    It was £4.99

    Left half of it, really for £4.99 I was not expecting a gastronomic experience was I?

    Or do you think getting what you pay for & complaining is not related to price?

    I am in the English tradition, say nothing unless really appalling, like a pint of Sarson's Best, never go back again, then report on PuG or Trip Advisor

    What say you?

    Completely agree, Farway - you get what you pay for.

    Sounds like a scam - they just got a free breakfast, didn't they?

    Appalling behaviour from the customers. I pity the bar staff.

    I too pity the poor staff, they must have great patience and I feel sorry for the poor chicken who took the time to lay it for those wasters. I know where I would have put the egg, before it was opened.
