Because of the treatment my family and I received, I'm going to report the waiter to the restaurant manager.
Can you tell me about the bad service your received at the restaurant?
We asked for spoons and forks with our main course, but we got mediocre cutlery.
Getting subpar cutlery is not your waiter's fault. Reporting them to their manager for something not under their control is improper. Talk to the manager about your issue, but leave the waiter out of it.
I can't stand the thought of her getting away with this. It's not right.
The waiter isn't getting away with anything as the cutlery is something out of their control. It is wrong for you to complain about them to a manager because doing that could truly harm the career of the waiter. How would you feel if that happened to you?
