I've come to realize that some people are going to cry and mess their diapers regardless of how far you bend over backwards for them. <br><br>Here's how people like the burger guy get handled if I wait on them. I do what you did at first, offer to "fix" whatever "went wrong" with their food. If they don't like round 2, I give them their options. If they are there just to be unhappy... well, I let them be. I will literally either ignore their table until everyone looks like they are done eating and drop the check or... continue to wait on other members of the table, and basically ignore the person complaining. <br><br>Just remember... in a lose-lose situation, you can't win.P.
