MODEL ANSWER:
Well, I like to think that I'm not the kind of person that gets angry easily, but there was once a situation that made me angry a few weeks ago when I went out for a meal together with my family at a local restaurant.
It was my idea to get all family members together for dinner because we hadn't seen each other for quite a while, so we thought it would be nice to have some special food at a big restaurant, which would save us the hassle of cooking and washing up at home.
As for what happened at the restaurant, well, when we got there, we were all in pretty good spirits, and obviously we were already hungry. Unfortunately though, we ended up waiting absolutely hours for our food to come, and, to make matters worse, I had a train to catch later that night, so I politely asked the waiter a few times when our food would be ready, and all he said to me was, “It will be ready soon, just a few minutes.” Well, we ended up still waiting another half an hour for the first dish to arrive. And another thing I should mention is that we noticed that some of the other customers who had arrived after us actually received their meals first, so as you can imagine, we were NOT happy about that, but at least the food was good!
So before we left, I made it clear to the manager that we were pretty unsatisfied with the way we were treated, and in all likelihood we wouldn't be returning. After he heard me say this, he did actually apologize, but he still made some feeble excuse that they were really busy that night and were finding it hard to cope with all the orders.
Anyway, I'm glad to say that thankfully this kind of thing hasn't happened to me too often, and I actually found out later that the restaurant had been just newly opened, so that probably explains why the service wasn't up to scratch.
