Apparently even a star like Anita had to wait for a table at Shanghai¡¯s Jesse Restaurant, reputedly frequented by many celebrities.
Anita was in Shanghai on 4th May to shoot a commercial and took the chance to try out the well-known Shanghainese restaurant, Jesse Restaurant. Unfortunately, it was packed when she arrived, so she had to wait in line.
Not one with lots of patience, she complained to the waiter. The waiter offered to first take her order to shorten her waiting time. However, after waiting for a while, she asked the waiter again, ¡°Why is it not ready yet? Why is it taking so long?¡± Finally, she lost her temper and shouted, ¡°How long more? Why is the service so slow? What kind of service is this?¡± Apparently she was really loud and even people on the street could hear her. Fortunately some guests left soon after and Anita was quickly ushered in.
(Note: No idea if this report was exaggerated. Don¡¯t think Anita is like that now ¨C I mean she has passed this stage. She used to be in her younger days. Anyway, we don¡¯t know both sides of the story. Perhaps the service attitude of the restaurant¡¯s staff was bad. Anyway, I¡¯m not one to queue for food, not matter how good it is ¨C don¡¯t have that kind of patience nor time. Haha. And yes, I could get irritated waiting too :P
