I feel like the restaurant should have comp'd you something. Though like you, I won't be straightforward and ask for something... It's best just to move on. I've broken dishes and glasses at restaurants before, and they've never made me pay anything extra. So I just see it as karmic return when something happens and just roll with it.

Take your pick

I suggest the innocuous ones that somehow span several pages to start.
I'm just another black man who gets attacked when I try to talk about getting hot soup spilled on me.

Maybe already covered in this thread, but OP needs to learn the difference between "poured" and "spilled." The former implies an intentional act.
LOL.
Seriously tho OP she apologized, if your clothes got stains wich are hard to get out by washing i would ask for a refund and money for a steamery.
You could however talked to the manager if you wanted your money back or a discount etc they would probably not fire her if you was worried about that.

If you don't complain don't expect anything, you did good not complaining, but not good by then complaining about it :/
I have a four day weekend before I start my new job, so naturally I'm here discussing soup spilling etiquette. Priorities on point.
Twist: it was Mul-naengmyeon
OP was expecting it to be hot and prepared for it mentally
Then he was too embarrassed after saying "ouch" and had to pretend it was hot
No insult, just using the word for its meaning.
Anyway, it was an accident and she apologized for it. I feel that's quite enough considering the trivial event. I don't feel he deserves anything in return aside from that apology.
Could the restaurant be smart and complement him any way? Of course, I would encourage that. Should they do it because of that specific accident? I don't think so.

Not a big deal.

Yes, you're spineless and wait until your safe behind your touchscreen before whining about entitlement. Avoiding having to deal with real human face to face conflict resolution like a big boy.

Thread title shows you are overreacting. She spilled soup on you, she didn't pour it on you. Pour implies intent, it was an accident that you even said was no big deal.

Safe behind a touchscreen?
What happened to a good old monitor and keyboard?
So you're a sub then?

Then why not bring it up with them? You seem to want validation for your position but you don't want to do the thing you should be doing: contact the restaurant.
People feel you're not sincere because you're not taking any steps to make your expectation come to fruition, instead you're just asking "what workers in the food industry would do". We all know the angle you're doing which is why they're calling you out.
Like, you already said in this thread people agree with you but you still keep looking for some kind of response so we can only assume it's validation for your inaction.
Jesus..
The workout routine advice bit was good - I think that was my first time in a Two Words world.
Guy wanted advice and then proceeds to know everything already and then ignore the sound advice.
Just a weird dude in denial.
I've said multiple times that the thread title was erroneous on my part. It doesn't "show" anything. It was a simple mistake.

Kind of like the waitress accidentally spilling soup on you?
I didn't want to make a big deal about it because I didn't want the employee to get shit for it. I'm not afraid to make a complaint if I want to do it. I don't know why some of you are so dead set on trying to make me out to be the bad guy.
I'm not the one trying to figure out some secret purpose behind her mistake.

I think OP is the same guy who was afraid of being in the same class as Indian students.
I think everyone calling you a whiny baby are doing so because you're currently acting like one. In this thread. After the fact. Not at the restaurant when you decided to not make a big stink about it.
So, yeah, move on. Next time you get some souped spilled on you by accident feel free to act like an asshole and demand reparation or whatever so you won't feel the need to bitch about it online afterwards.
I'm all for treating service workers well. I've done so my whole life. But if a representative of the restaurant physically injures you and ruins your clothes, you're not being an entitled douchebag to expect something in compensation. My goodness, people. It's a restaurant, the management is supposed to care about your experience as a guest there. You go there to relax and you get your pants stained and your dick burned? They should care enough to do something.

I know I like to pay money to be burnt and have my clothes ruined and smell like soup all day.
What do you mean good to go lmao
Dude had soup all over his clothes, where is he good to go to next? The dry cleaners? home?

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
But dont you see, its Two Words! That means we're allowed to shit on him!
Is the fact that there are no links supposed to be the joke? Because I see nothing there.
OP, the restaurant absolutely should have comped you the meal. Spilling soup on a diner is a hell of a difference vs spilling water or something like that. On the other hand, pressing the issue might have made you look bad in front of the supervisor, so it depends on whether you had opportunity.
Excuse me?

You didnt make a big deal at the restaurant where soup was actually spilled on and you expected them to compensate you? Oh boy are you just bad with face to face confrontations or something? You got to make it an issue otherwise they will look the other way.
This.
Are people so used to shitty service in America?
