Basically rips into her and tells her go back to the kitchen to get it remade, she does, Joey snaps at her like it’s her fault first because he put that food out 45 minutes ago and it’s the dinner rush. Joey is not happy, about the guy wanting him to remake the food or about him being a dick to his girl. It’s not her fault the food was cold, if he wants to take it up with anyone it should be Joey. Emma tries to get him not to say anything, it’s doesn’t work. She gets between him and door, he just picks her up and moves her out of the way. The guy doesn’t want to yell or talk rude at Joey it seems, he can yell at her though no problem. The guy just shrinks under Joey. Joey is perfectly cordial. He asks for a manager, the manager is on their side.
