Seems the relatively rare menu wasn't all that popular. Expats are an extremely unreliable source of income when it comes to restaurants. Cheap Charlies the vast majority of them are. Nothing wrong with that of course...it's just really hard to sustain western food standards when people aren't willing to pay for it. D*mn that free market!

 

If you wish to try your luck in the courts here go right ahead. I'm curious how someone could defame an anonymous person online, what reputation or damages could an anonymous person have. It is also a requirement to mitigate damages...and identifying yourself in any such lawsuit would significantly increase those damages. I suggest you speak with a lawyer if you wish to move forward with such a lawsuit.

Also, no one called you scum, it was stated that there are plenty of scum foreigners in the Philippines...if you decided to wear those shoes and lace them up, well, that's on you.

 

Sounds like she is intimidated by expats to me...especially unpredictable drunk ones. Can't really blame her for that. The night managers at Why Not are better equipped to deal with the drunks than the daytime restaurant staff/managers.

I think it is getting to the point to where we, the expat community, need to start policing ourselves and letting those that act like twats know that they, and their antics, are not welcome. Landlords need to deny rent and evict drunks and problem starters. There will always be a landlord that will take money from a drunk and tolerate them but those places should be only suitable for squatters. Bar owners (aka legal drug dealers) should be held partially liable for feeding these drunks addiction and for any damage they may cause to other people. Note: Bar owners should not be held responsible for any injury or damage a drunk does on to themselves...that would only enable drunks and allow them to pass the blame for their own demise on to others. Alcoholics should be completely liable for the damage they cause to themselves and to others...and if they hurt someone else the bar should have to match whatever the addict had to pay out to the 3rd party.

It is getting ridiculous in the Philippines with the quality of expats coming in. I really think the Philippines should shorten their allowed tourist visa stay to 6 months or less and create a new type of resident visa for those that are single and can prove they have enough money to live comfortably in the country. Anyone proven to be a drug addict (this includes alcoholics), even if on a resident visa, should be shown the door and blacklisted for at least a year.

Par for the course. She's not going to put her safety on the line (dealing with drunks) for a bunch of long noses or their business. She should have called the police, had them remove him and throw him in a cell until he sobers up (which he should have to pay rent for at around P1k/hour until he is able to blow a 0.00 on a breathalyzer) but she probably didn't want to have to deal with the repercussions of police reports or possibly having to show up in court as a witness. If the owner isn't alright with this he should retrain the manager or hire a new one with more experience. If the owner doesn't care.....then I guess you should find somewhere else to eat at.

Was there anything stopping you from calling the police? You could have called them and said there was a medical emergency (the guy had alcohol poisoning). Have him sent to the hospital via ambulance, which surely would have pissed him off when he came to and had to pay the bill.

If this 911 thing actually starts to work I will certainly be using it to "save the life" of many passed out drunks. Better safe than sorry I say....f*ck what it costs the drunks, not my problem.

 

That was my initial reaction to the picture as well. However, there is a group of expats there that are complete knobheads and arrogant twats to boot. Would love to see them ran out of Valencia.
