Due to miscommunication the restaurant management served the food for one table instead of two. I suspected that R didn't make clear that he wanted two sets of meals for two tables when he placed the order. He told the captain that he wanted dinner for two tables and assumed that she understood that he wanted two sets of meals and not one to be shared by two tables.
When the food came some of the dishes were diverted to the next table and this caused so much confusion. In the end nobody knew what dishes went to which table. To add to the confusion there was no communication between the kitchen, the waiters and the person who wrote out the order.
Then all of a sudden D stood up to complain loudly that he was fed up with the confusion and was suffering from hunger. He wanted to leave the restaurant to continue his meals in a mamak stall. D's tantrum was so embarrassing and I was deeply hurt. The dinner was about to end and I could not understand why he could not wait a little longer. I felt so angry at his unacceptable behavior that I wanted to slap him on the spot. So as not to prolonged the embarrassment I excused myself and left.
Was D suffering from hunger pangs? I didn't think so. I thought he reacted that way because his girl friend wanted to leave.
I was so embarrassing for the family. Clearly Anna and Amy were also embarrassed by D's ridiculous behavior.
Nowadays I feel that young people have become too self centered and selfish. They show little respect and consideration for others. D is rude, self centered and inconsiderate and so is his girl friend.
