Dumb Arrogance

I've just experienced my first share of dumb & arrogant Shams behavior, courtesy of a restaurant in Deira.
At the offices of a business client, I was invited to stay back and have a quick brunch of zaatar, a herb coated Arabic bread. To our astonishment, the restaurant delivered a cheese coated bread, which was alright with my client (who had one) but I'm very specific about cheese due to food allergies. Having called the restaurant that they had made a mistake with our order, they had it picked up while we went back to work under the impression, we'd get the right order, second time around.
Guess what?
Wrong as in wrong can be.
After waiting 20 minutes for our replacement, we got floored with another surprise!
It was the same cheese bread but with zaatar sprinkled over it!
Is that dumb or is that dumb?
Or is that plain arrogance with a touch of dumb? I've heard pretty much about these guys but this one's way too much.
From all the Arabic joints that we've visited, the Lebanese take the cake for rendering excellent service with a smile. No wonder, they have a steady flow of customers and refill business while their neighbors wish it was them.
At the rate they're going, I doubt they ever will.
