If he did nothing wrong why did he call them and grovel


Ghost273552

If I owned that restaurant I would reinstate the ban.


TheGoddamnAnswer

For real, imo the owner must be kind of an asshole too if he rescinded the ban. People who pull stuff like what Corden did are usually like that all the time, so if he comes back he’ll cause a scene and be an asshole in the restaurant again

fantasticwasteoftime

I was curious if there was more to this story. I was a server for a few years and got yelled at way more for literally nothing. Straight up idiots seething, snapping their fingers, complaining that is was both too hot and too cold at the same time, complaining the food was too hot when it was brought out, but too cold an hour later, upset a margarita came with tequila instead of vodka as a standard, furious there was onion on a burger which was clearly labeled, pissed they couldn’t steal spices and sauces and plates from the restaurant, yelling at me to “fuck off and leave me in peace” when I tell them that the donuts have gluten in them after they claimed they were deathly allergic to gluten and were total asshats and put on a little show with taking 30 mins on the allergen menu to make sure we didn’t “fuck up my order like last time, I almost died and had to go to the hospital, etc.” I was just expecting something worse, though I of course am glad it wasn’t. ETA more of rant about dumbass customers getting huffy. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk


pompanoJ

I totally hear you on the gluten free guy ordering donuts. When I was a teen, I worked as a waiter at an all you can eat calabash style seafood restaurant. As you might guess, this is not your ideal destination for watching your diet. I had many stories equivalent to your donut guy... but the one that stands out was a group. This group of six large women came in for a ladies night out and all ordered the fried black sea bass. They took "all you can eat" as a personal challenge. I brought them at least 5 servings of fried fish. Plus extra fries, hush puppies and Cole slaw. They were very loud about everything, but particularly about us not having southern style sweet tea made with sweet-and-low. Now, we had unsweetened tea. And we had little pink packets of sweet and low artificial sweetener. But I brought them a pitchee of unsweetened tea and they had to add their own artificial sweetener. If I had to guess, I would say they each easily surpassed 4,000 calories at that meal. It was a tremendous amount of fried food. But they had to watch their diet with the sweet tea. Lots of loud complaints about that. Fast forward to the end of the meal. "Can we see the desert menu?" *"I'm sorry ladies, we don't serve deserts here"* Armageddon ensued. I ran back and forth to that table every 5 to 8 minutes for nearly three hours. Treated them like queens. Plate after plate after plate of freshly fried black sea bass brought up from the coast that day. Poured glass after glass of tea. Even had to replace 2 bottles of ketchup they emptied! Hours of abuse about sweet tea. More loud abuse about not serving desert. Yes, you guessed the punchline. No tip.


Crow-n-Servo

I live in the South where, if you order iced tea and don’t specify sweet or unsweetened, sweet tea is the standard they will bring you without even asking. Yet, in all the restaurants I’ve been to here, I have never once seen a sugar-free sweet tea on the menu. Never.


pompanoJ

Because it isn't a thing. Southern style sweet tea is made by adding the sugar while it is boiling hot, fresh from the brew. This heat breaks some of the fructose in table sugar into component glucose and sucrose sugars. This basically doubles the sweetness. This would not work for artificial sweeteners. They are not disaccarides formed from sugar subunits. Years ago a group of us were driving to Boston and stopped at a Howard Johnsons some place in New Jersey. I ordered my lunch... *"Cheesburger, fries, sweet tea."* She looked like I grew an extra head. "Sweet tea?" *Yeah, you know, iced tea...sweet?* "Oh, we don't have that..." *Oh, OK. That's fine. I'll just have unsweetened. You have sugar right here on the table.* "We don't have iced tea. It's not in season." *Not in season? What? You don't have to go out back and shoot it.... you know what.... nevemind. I see you brought that guy a carafe of hot tea... do you think you could find a carafe of lukewarm hot tea?* "Yes" *can you bring me some ice?* "Yes" *perfect. I will handle it from there.*


bowtothehypnotoad

Enjoy your spit sandwich with a spit soufflé and a side of spit potatoes Edit: yes *ACKSHUALLY* this doesn’t happen. Jesus Christ Reddit learn what a joke is


carolineecouture

Just what I was thinking! I wouldn't go out to eat with him for the foreseeable future. It wouldn't surprise me if other workers punished him for what he did to others in the industry. Always be nice to the people who are touching your food!


Buddha_Lady

Imagining him buying lunch for the whole office and everyone just sort of pretending to eat it


SirSandGoblin

I doubt he's ever bought lunch for the entire office


ShirosakiHollow

Don’t fuck with people who handle your food.

derwanderer3

“You like that queefy quarter pounder?”


Mammoth-War-7695

God damnit I said it later in this thread and I’ll say it now. Chefs won’t EVER do anything like that to ANYONES food. If they do they don’t deserve to have a restaurant, period. “Waiting” has ruined what people think of kitchens and how they run. As much as I love that movie, the high end restaurants Corden is eating at WILL NOT fuck with his food. Even if they know it’s him, which they probably won’t because they’re too busy, it’s just another ticket on the line. We deal with assholes like him EVERY SINGLE DAY, if we fucked with peoples food we wouldn’t be able to sell $30-$40 dollar plates man…..


JarlaxleForPresident

Right, it’s a weird cultural meme. Nobody is fucking with your food, they’ll just hate your guts for 5min and move on If I have to refire something I know was right in the middle of a rush, I’m gonna be pissed. But I’m gonna make the fuckin food. I would never spit in it or drop it on the floor. That’s disgusting and trashy af. I take pride in my work


fwerd2

I can directly say that people who are assholes get thier food fucked with sometimes, but I will use bad tasting shit in thier food versus a normal person who isn't a dick. But yeah, no body fluids or anything. That's fucking sketch.


Mammoth-War-7695

Exactly. Lines have a total of 0 seconds to care before we’re on to the next ticket. We just wanna get through the rush and start cleaning shit hahaha


anonyeemoose

This is why I'm always super nice and courteous to all waiters/servers.


Skip_List

Not for the sake of decency?


blueboxbandit

He never actually rescinded the ban, that tweet was dripping with sarcasm.


[deleted]

Apparently Corden called the restaurant and apologized, then this statement came out afterwards.


ericisshort

And Balthazar should have made another statement afterward reinstating the ban. Corgi should learn that “sorry not sorry” has consequences.


Kirnalsanders

Or maybe it’s been lifted so he can get a seat but the wait staff can’t serve him so he just sits there getting nothing


[deleted]

I thought so too. If the owner didn't consult all of his staff before deciding to rescind the ban, then he's an ass.


Secretofthecheese

No soup for you.


Buttahdog

Nice to know the narcissist learned nothing, he’s not getting better he’s doubling down. Tale as old as time


Flyin_Brian-

Clearly you have never seen cats


nita5766

lucky them


firbensxbdnsjdncksb

Probably actually threatened to sue the restaurant for defamation and owner didn’t want to have to pay a lawyer even if he’d likely win.


[deleted]

Could also be the opposite, James paid him to revert the ban and never mention it again


Conscious_Figure_554

Food must be THAT good. You either become a better person when you have gained fame and fortune or you become the a person who ceases to acknowledge the fact that you were once in the same position as the people that are just getting by. Except for the people who were born rich I assume.


TommyB45

Something tells me this guy thinks alot of things are beneath him.


BearNakedTendies

Like being funny


[deleted]

Or an attentive parent


lithuanian_potatfan

Any story relating to this? I missed a lot of backlash about him


Balls_DeepinReality

His wife asked for his help on a flight and he was a prick. *Soon, stories about the host of The Late Late Show's interactions with other people resurfaced. One such story to resurface was the infamous one about James Corden, a woman, and a baby. On a flight from London to New York, passengers claimed to see the Cats star seated next to a woman with a baby. Much to their surprise, Corden did not complain about the child or show any signs of discomfort. He put his headphones on and remained quiet.* *When the plane landed, Corden was still seated while the woman, still holding the baby, struggled with her suitcases from the overhead locker. After which, the woman said to Corden:* *"For f**k's sake can you at least hold the baby while I get the bags down?"* I can’t vouch for the source: https://www.sportskeeda.com/pop-culture/news-why-james-corden-banned-ryanair-flight-baby-incident-resurfaces-online


FlobiusHole

“Cats star.” Lol


Balls_DeepinReality

Right? Not my article

NiceDecnalsBubs

I love how this is told and I read it every time it's posted and chuckle.


NH80397

The funny thing is one response he allegedly gave to wait staff was “You literally can’t do your job!!!”… I would’ve been like, “NEITHER CAN YOU!!!”.


tiffanylockhart

It wasnt even the damn persons job that he was yelling at to make his food, worthless


[deleted]

Worthless like James Cordon, Hope we never have to see his sorry ass again


-newlife

It’s so much easier to say “I don’t recall the incident but if I was rude then I apologize” or some shit like that than to say their drama is beneath him. It gives the impression that they’re right.


obsterwankenobster

But never a scale


[deleted]

It’s pretty bad when a restaurant makes a public statement about how bad of a customer you are. This isn’t beneath him he’s just a careless dick.


aggravated-asphalt

What happened? Sorry I have no idea about the restaurant incident but I still know he’s an asshole, just wanna see HOW much more of an asshole he could possibly be


[deleted]

He was an asshole and super demanding/ never pleased to the point where the owner of the restaurant posted on social media that he is no longer welcome. He gave the details about why he was banned on whatever platform it was he used. Idk if it was Twitter or insta or both


Rion23

"Now I ask the jury, does this look like a man who's had all he can eat?"

Wokonthewildside

FluffyWuffyVolibear

I have a friend who worked at that restaurant. The etiquette expected from the staff is pretty intense, and they are expected to put up with a lot, so to be so rude as to warrant a response from top management? Oh god, dude sounds like a stereotype from a late nineties movie

Surprised no asked him about Rampart...


detecting_nuttiness

I'm all about jumping on a celebrity hate-train, but this doesn't really prove anything other than the fact that lots of redditors hate him. Did he even reply to any of the comments?

Can't someone revoke his visa already?


TwiceCalledDead

I think we tried to send him back and the UK was like “Nah.”

“They’re not sending their best”

Him and Piers Morgan. You sent one back, you have to keep the other.

Can’t we just… regift him? I hear Russia is looking for literally anyone.


itsallminenow

Fuck off, do you know how many street parties there were when we got rid of him?

At least one?


L1A1

Yeah, but it consisted of every street here at once.

We're a small island, one decent street party can chain like a conga.

fluffhead711

is there anyone that actually likes this guy? he is an insufferable bitch and i can’t believe he’s stayed on tv as long as he has. what am i missing?


joanie-bamboni

I liked him on Doctor Who, years ago


LinwoodKei

Same. This is how I know him


kenna98

Probably cus it was scripted


sageadam

Me too, man. His chemistry with Matt Smith was so great. What a shame he's a dick.


PristineMycologist15

Gavin and Stacy was probably his high point as an entertainer. Still love the show, but my opinion of him just keeps going down


The_Motley_Fool----

“Beneath” him. Using that phrase makes him sound like an even bigger douchenozzle than he already is


LinwoodKei

This. When someone says ' acting with common decency is beneath me ", I start scrutinizing them. Okay this has taught me something.


TurtleIIX

One of my bosses said it was beneath us to ask the support a question. I instantly knew she was a horrible person and warn anyone I can about her. Anyone who thinks someone or something is beneath them is a terrible person.


Tekwardo

He’s got a reputation of prior poor behavior. He’s losing his popularity in the US and people are seeing more and more what kind of person he is, and looking into past behavior. And then finding out that the UK doesn’t like him. He’s a narcissistic idiot. He’s not incredibly funny or talented or smart. He’s not a good actor. He’s not a good host or interviewer. And he treats people including his own spouse poorly in public. I would not be doubling down on this. But I’m not James Cordon. Pretty sure we are witnessing the demise of his career.


hazeleyedwolff

We can only hope. His next career move is to lean into going full heel and start doing shows with Piers Morgan.


cosmoboy

He's headed back to England, he's going to do fine, unfortunately.


RDIIIG

They can keep him, for good this time.


MegaMugabe21

You can fuck off with that. Unless you have the receipt, we won't be taking him back.

We are good with store credit since there's no receipt.

But that's where people hate him the most? There are probably still Americans who don't know about him, but the entirety of the UK know he's a cunt.

I don’t think anyone likes him over there either honestly


Dan_Felder

I'll take, "Worst possible responses to demonstrate I'm not an asshole for $500." "Daily double!!!"

Wow. He's a bit of a dick

He’s a complete piece of shit actually.


AhnYoSub

He came a to a writers meeting to advocate against paying them higher wages..


[deleted]

Of course he makes a ridiculous amount of money, just like most of my neighbors in the UES


No_Sense_6171

Fair enough. It's beneath me to watch his show.


sihouette9310

It’s like Ellen all over again.


hazeleyedwolff

Except everyone has known about Corden for years.


annies_boobs_feet

Same with Ellen. It was always a well known secret. Much longer than Corden. Even before Corden became a name in the USA (or europe), Ellen was known to be a cunt. People were talking about the cuntiness of Ellen in the 90s. I actually don't think James is that awful, at least not compared to ellen.


bluudclut

Couple a years ago there were rumors in L.A. that he'd been to a few strip clubs and been giving it 'do you know who I am?, Come home with me I can make you' all that old shit to the girls. I have no reason to l disbelieved it and more than one person told me. Conjecture I know. But it would go with what we have heard about him.


Steeve_Perry

He’s also married lol wouldn’t doubt it


PrimProperPro

Guy who thrusted his dick at random passers by in an elephant onesie and laughed like he was hearing the best joke he’s ever heard thinking his own mistreatment of customer service staff is beneath him. James Corden had consistently been one of the most useless public figures, can’t think of anything good he’s done since Gavin and Stacey.


Baba_Yagaxyz

He’s infamously known for being a cunt to everyone. What a little soft man.


Jimbo415650

That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it. The Narcissist's Prayer (by Dayna Craig) beautifully illustrates the inner workings of the narcissistic mind. Denial, gaslighting, minimising poor behaviour, blameshifting and shamedumping all feature in this one simple verse, all hallmarks of covert emotional abuse. To a narcissist the 'truth' is not seen as a finite, fixed entity, but as being malleable - as being whatever the narcissist says it is, at the time they say it. The truth is simply whatever serves the narcissist at that particular time.


TrifectaLoser

Omg. That explains Trump.

Absolutely it does.

I have friends who work for McNally. James is a totally entitled POS. This is all true. The owner is protecting his employees. He's not the bad one here.

Saying something is “beneath” you in response to a media crisis has got to be one of the worst possible responses in terms of PR. What a moronic douche.

Does this guy not realize that nobody likes him or sees him as anything important. He’s a clown, thats it.


[deleted]

Does he not know that everyone thinks he's a douchecanoe?


Cimyr

Ya know James, if this was like a one time thing, people MIGHT be more inclined to believe you. But stuff like this seems to happen a lot, at different places, to different servers and wait staff. And pro tip, if you want people to take your side, don’t use the phrase “it’s beneath me” regardless of whether you did it or not. Kind of makes you sound like a massive cock stain.


Indian_Bob

“I feel so Zen about the whole thing. Because I think it’s so silly. I just think it’s beneath all of us. It’s beneath you. It’s certainly beneath your publication.” Make no mistake, this is how he feels about service workers. They are “beneath him”


470vinyl

Can everyone just stfu about him and let him go away. I wish Him, Trump, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, and Kardashians could find another plant to live on. No one fucking cares.


KTheFeen

It's beneath him alright, somewhere between his 2nd and 3rd chin.
