hey guys don't forget the civil and respectful,avoid personal attacks part of the general postings. Is it reallly all that important if you order soup or stew from a server who is trying to serve you your lunch and makes a deal about your accent.

Yes it is actually.

Suppose he was making fun of, correcting or mocking Korean or Latino speech patterns?

Crystal would fire him on the spot, or at least should do.

Scottie deserves exactly the same protection from such discriminatory behaviour. With this stand he has become the Rosa Parks of the Stuu line!

Yea telegirl I'm the victim here. I'm a very sensitive person and the Stu Nazi's outrageous racism has given me post lunch depression.How would you feel if I made fun of the fact that you're a girl and you tele!!!!
Seriously, whoever you are, get a sense of humor and lose the preaching.If you want to preach, find a church.

I find this story of the Campbell Basin soup guy quite entertaining and interesting. (I've never had trouble ordering soup or stew there but I'm from around here and I talk like someone from around here. Of course I'm happy to learn these insider hints for ways to get more crackers. Gotta keep the sodium intake up when skiing or shredding laps on C6).

I have trouble understanding why anyone could possibly object to this Campbell Basin Stew guy thread. The Crystal Lifties aren't objecting. They're responding with practical suggestions of how to deal with the problem. But one doesn't get these suggestions if you don't speak up in the first place.

If you don't like  a thread, you can always stop reading it. . .

Thank you nw-grll.
I like a good argument so I will keep this one going.

Firsty tele-girl the facts.

Each of the people who have humorously brought up the attitude of the stew guy , or STu nazi  as we like to call him had completely separate incidents with him.
When Brit off-handedly told me about his experience with this guy, I then told him about mine and them Oftpiste told his. All happened independently at at different times.
If three different people all have had the same experience, then its somewhat sure there's a problem with this guys attitude.
We have never been rude to him , even when he was rude to us and we think its rather fuuny and humorous and even grudgingly admire his cantankerous nature.

We have no intention of complaining about him to management but enjoy talking about the daily goings on at Crystal in a mostly humorous way, and its a sort of "insider's thread. If you cant see the funny side of the microcosm that is Crystal with all the failing in human nature in such glorious display, then there is no hope.

Since we do not allow personal attacks here at TAY, it has become de riguer to disguise them  by using the  plural ( as you did) or generalizing. I will do the same.

In the more than half century that I have inhabited this earth I found most humans  full of pretensions and hypocrisy( myself more than most). However, I have noticed that those that are uber-PC and hypersensitive are those that are that way because they have the conceit that this makes them superior to those that are not and they usually like to display this conceit in the mistaken belief it elevates them above the masses.

Nice rant Jock!

We should confront this fellow tomorrow. Remind him that "Stu" is British cuisine and correct his pronunciation of it. Then smash all his crackers.

On this occasion (and this occasion only) I will overlook any of our own simmering cultural differences should you feel the need to paint yourself William Wallace* blue for added menace.
