On my last occassion, it being a hot day and me being a vaguely health-conscious sort of fellow, I had with me a bottle of mineral water - something that would appear to be deeply offensive to the staff of Yauatcha. I hadn't even sat down at the table, before....
"You can't drink that water here."The manager comes over.
"I wasn't going to."
"Can I take it please."
"Sorry?"
"I'll look after it for you, while you dine."
"Can I see the manager?"
"I'm sorry, we don't allow customers to drink their own water."Shit, I knew I had lost by mentioning expensive. It was meant to elude to their greed. But I could see in his eyes, he heard, 'I'm not drinking your water, it's too expensive." Bugger. I handed over the water. I ate. I got my water back. I scored a small victory. Now along with the water on the table rule, there's a no camera rule.
"I never said I'd wanted to."
"I can look after it for you."
No need, I'll stick it on the floor, if you want it out of sight."
"You might drink it."
"I won't."
"We don't allow bottles of water on the table"
"Not even one of your expensive, fancy glass ones."
Hah!
You still PISSED ME OFF, YOU BASTARDS.

There is no way I would give them my water bottle. I would have walked out after cursing the manager and all guys who fathered him.
perhaps you're right. i still think; i should have been more 'forceful' shall we say. Then , no, i was right not to raise to raise to the bait.
in situations like this i'm reminded of an event in my childhood when at 12 when i had an argument with an amusement arcade owner on holiday, and then went crying to my dad who proceeded to smash the place and the owner up. at 12 it was horrific. now its just a scary memory and i write this blog and see a therapist and don’t hit anyone (5 and a half years and counting)
I personaly hate resaurants like that and their staff with their jumped up rules. they want your money and for you to patronise the place and keep going there. fuck them and there chinese shit, it's probably dog or cat anyway.
I like your site just found it can I put a link to it on mine?
Seriously?
I don't mean to offend but I think you meant "allude" rather than "elude" in your restaraunt post.
regards.
i would have let them take it. then i would have ordered the most expensive thing on the menu. then after a few minutes get up and walk out the door.
