I wasn't bothered so much about her complaining to the server. What
annoyed me more was that she lied about the time. She had not been there
for half an hour. She had only been there for about 10 minutes. They
make great sandwiches there, and there were other orders being prepared.
Her sandwich arrived about two minutes later.
