Just thinking out loud I mean it may be nothing but I just feel so compelled to write about it.
Was at the café the other day with my son, we got Panini and some fries at the counter and the waiter said five minutes, just need to heat up the Panini, fine by me so my son and I went to wait at our table. Nearly twenty minutes later no waiter, no Panini so I go over to the counter, hello where is my Panini, waiter looks at me surprised oh sorry she says, we have been so busy we actually forgot about your order. Excuse me, but I am part of the busy, I was pissed and didn't hesitate to show how pissed I was, she apologised and a few minutes later brought over my order.
As my son and I sat to eat, this nagging thought came to me, it was really stupid of you to get into an argument with that waiter, what if out of spite she decided to add a few extras you didn't order to your meal, a few extras like her saliva and God knows what order tricks she may have under her sleeves.
This just got me thinking generally about expressing your dissatisfaction to certain people, not every one handles criticism well so it may be wise to just let it go.
Imagine you being a patient at a hospital and there is this particular nurse or member of staff you think is not doing their job properly, well instead of letting that person know you are not pleased with their service, shut up, bear and grin or try reverse psychology, after all the hospital is not your place of permanent residence and you need to leave there in one piece. who knows how well they will take your criticism of them and you could just be deliberately accidentally given the wrong medication during your next dose. (all I am saying if someone has some form of advantage over you be careful how you express your feelings to them).
