Well that sounds like the kind of nincompoops that I usually run into on my trips! Don't those kind of people make for a grand dining experience!
Your Sci_fi meals look really good. Especially the milkshakes! That is too funny how you had to go about getting a grilled chicken sandwich.A chicken BLT....hold the B.
Reminds me of your DS's grilled cheese.....hold the cheese!
Now, about those hitchhikers behind you. They sound like a couple of scam artists.
Okay. Now I know Disney is known for service, but I really think they shoot themselves in the foot sometimes. Your hitchikers remind me of a story I heard Kevin say on the podcast about a guy who didn't have an ADR at all at Chefs de France and because he threw a hissy fit and yelled enough about his poor hungry children (yeah, they're special like that), they sat him BEFORE all the people sitting waiting for their ADRs. Disney really needs to stop catering to these people, it's ruining it for the rest of us. I wish the server would have told your "friends" that she'd get a manager, and he/she could ask them what was so bad if they ate that much of it. They need to politely challenge these people - Who says "you can take that off the bill"????
End of rant. Carry on.
Loving your TR as usual.
I seriously can not imagine ever saying -- I didn't like this and you can just take it off the bill. 
You know what? People do it because they get away with it. It would serve them right if they were here on the DIS and saw their picture and were highly embarrassed.
What a bunch of cheap behinds. (I almost used the 44 word.
Once again, I have no faith in society anymore.
Whatever happened to people paying their own way in this life? Whatever happened to common decency?
If we ever don't like something, we don't complain. If the waitress notices we didn't eat, then we may admit that it wasn't to our liking, but we ALWAYS insist on paying for it regardless of if we took one bite or twenty. SOMEONE has to pay for it. We ordered it. It's not like it can be used again. And THEN we tip 20-25%, regardless of the service or the hostess or the wait staff or the bartender. It's just the RIGHT thing to do.
That does it.
I officially don't like people.
(Present company in this thread excluded of course.)
Everybody wants something for nothing. 
And when he took it back up to the counter to show them they didn't even offer him his money back - they offered him another salad.
Maybe they took their role of "Hitchhiker" seriously and really thought it was a free ride.
John and I were just talking about people "like that" the other day when we went out to eat. Like you said, it sounds like they have the whole thing rehearsed. It makes me so mad! I wonder just how many people get away with it at a place like Disney because they are pretty sure that the wait staff is going to have to be kind to them and take it off their bill?
I knew you would just love this story!!
Yes, people have no common decency. They just don't.
I remember once DH got a chicken salad from Wendy's and there was a big chunk of plastic in it. Not even sure what it was - it looked like an over-sized Lego actually.
And you know what... she was a scam artist too!!!!! She planted the finger in the chili so she could sue them... do you remember that? What a NUT! Ok... this conversation has helped me tremendously with my diet b/c I have totally lost my appetite. Think I'll be skipping dinner tonight!
Good Lord! That reminds me of the lady who found the finger in the Wendy's chili!
You know me too well.
Good Lord! That reminds me of the lady who found the finger in the Wendy's chili!
I don't remember that, but I do remember someone supposedly finding a finger in their Diet Pepsi once. Good Lord! That reminds me of the lady who found the finger in the Wendy's chili!
Wish I could say I lost my appetite.
I went to two grocery stores today and was so proud of myself. I bought all sorts of vegetables and fresh fruit. I had really good intentions of making a salad with it. So what did I do? I came home and unloaded the groceries then ate a bag of cheetos and finished it off with a pack of Reese Cups while I watched Days of our Lives. I did make myself feel better about my lunch though, since I didn't drink a soda with it.
Gotta save those calories somewhere.
You usually eat so much better than me! Of course I DID have a Mtn. Dew with mine!

I did have some green beans and grilled chicken with it though... so I didn't do too bad. And there wasn't a finger, plastic lego or staple on the menu anywhere... it was quite tasty! 
If you want a good laugh, you have GOT to read this!Good Lord! That reminds me of the lady who found the finger in the Wendy's chili!
It makes you wonder, though.......where the heck does someone get hold of a finger to pull off a scam like that?
