AceShowbiz - Millie Bobby Brown, known for her role in "Stranger Things", has sparked controversy with her outspoken views on dining etiquette and restaurant customer service. In a recent podcast interview, the 20-year-old actress expressed her frustration with restaurant practices such as staggered order taking and bill payment procedures.
Brown revealed her aversion to long wait times, stating, "I've already looked at the menu in the car on the way here and when they're like, 'We'll just get your drinks orders and then come back,' I'm like 'No, no, no, stand here, let's just take the whole thing.' "
She also criticized servers for not bringing the bill immediately, saying, "I'm like, 'Let me give you my card just right now and I must go on a walk to walk this food off.' "
Brown admitted to leaving negative reviews for restaurants and hotels, emphasizing the importance of constructive criticism. "We were at a hotel and the woman was pulling my fiance aside saying that we needed to settle the bill and I was like, 'We will at the end of our stay,' " she recounted. "I think it's important to know where you went wrong and there's always room for improvement."
Brown's comments have drawn criticism from social media users, who accused her of being "rude" and "entitled." Some defended service staff, noting the challenges they face in coordinating orders and avoiding kitchen backups.
"Tell me you've never worked in hospitality, without actually telling me you never worked in hospitality," one commenter remarked. Another added, "Waiters stall with drinks so the kitchen doesn't get swamped and they don't get yelled at by chefs."
Despite the backlash, Brown remains unapologetic about her standards. "My whole life is people criticising me, so I'm going to give it back to you," she stated.
