Steve Newick, owner of Newick\u2019s Lobster House, fed up with the mistreatment his servers were suffering at the hands of some clients, decided to defend his employees. He has gone viral because of his actions.<\/p>\n
The restaurant has been serving seafood on Dover Point since 1948. According to Steve, since the pandemic began, some customers have been aggressive because of several policies, including mask mandates, party limits, seafood prices spikes and wait times.<\/p>\n
He was even called a fascist for complying with COVID-19 regulations during the pandemic. He stated that he\u2019s heard it all, but that the latest incidents were the last straw.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI’ve had servers in tears. I’m not talking about someone that’s upset because we messed up the order, because that’s perfectly legitimate. I’m talking about the jerk that decided to throw a scallop at someone, because he thought it was too small. That’s the type of stuff we face. If we mess up an order, we can fix it and we’ll do everything we can to make you happy. But if you’re screaming at us, if you’re throwing food at my servers, what do you want us to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
