Reader 'thisistoomuch' was dining at Astons restaurant at KeyPoint when he witnessed an unpleasant incident - a group of customers apparently kicked up a fuss and humiliated a waiter for serving them in a supposedly disrespectful manner.
According to him, the waiter had made a mistake when serving food to the group. He felt these customers were overreacting in scolding the waiter loudly, nonstop throughout their meal.

The reader recounted the incident over the phone to Stomp:
"I was there from the start and saw the whole thing."
"I saw the waiter put down the plates at their table before returning to the kitchen to get more of their orders. He seemed quite in a hurry."
"The old man wearing spectacles yelled that the waiter had served him the wrong food but it was just that the waiter had put down the plates without matching the order to the customer."
"The old man expected the waiter to serve the right order to everyone at the table but the waiter had already returned to the kitchen to get more orders."
"Everyone at the table started scolding him openly and so loudly that the whole restaurant could hear what was going on."
"They mocked and insulted the waiter throughout the entire meal. One of them even threatened to 'rearrange' the waiter's face."
"The manager got called in but he could do nothing. In the end, the lady yelled at the waiter to get lost."
"It was really a small matter but they went overboard by hurling words of humiliation at the waiter."
"They sounded very educated and probably look down on waiting staff."
"I had no problems with the same waiter when he served me."
"In fact, I wrote him a note to thank him for his service and to encourage him not to feel bad after the incident."
