Of being a vegetarian and bad customer service.

Using my cell to post on this issue due to the pressing need for it, so I don't really know how it'll turn out. As many of you are aware (if you aren't, now you are, so there) I'm a lacto-ovo (is that how it's spelt?) vegetarian which means I don't eat meat or poultry but I do consume fish, eggs and milk occasionally.
Earlier in the evening, some friends and I went to a restaurant at spintex, a once known to be a  *ahem* "dbee " neighborhood (to those who don't know, dbee is a term that means, in a rough direct translation "Dada ba (daddy's child)" aka Rich Kids (we all know that well enough right?) Those snooty kids, with airs and all those annoying freshness (freshness: a level of untouched  beauty,another rough translation )  that only they have  (Please note;
1) To my friends and family and readers  living there "sawi, it's all good fun"and 2)" not everyone living there is a dbee, *wink* )
Now the thing is, not every restaurant is vegetarian friendly (90%?),so for some of us, eating out is hectic, and today was no exception. We sat at the table for close to 20 minutes and no one had come to take our order, and when the waitress  finally came to the table, it seemed like me telling her to give me fish instead of meat was a bother. Seriously the way she looked at me, if looks could kill, I'd be in the morgue.
"Well excuse me for my dietary preferences"
The meal arrived,*sigh* finally  and I must say the fish was good, it almost cleared the taste of bad customer service from my palate.
After the meal, getting the bill so we could pay was another issue. To be honest if I  had been alone, I'd have walked out of the restaurant without eating at all.
This is a small rant that I hope people providing services will take seriously because next time, I'm mentioning names
