I recently worked with Wendy on a wedding in McKinney. She was catering, and our company was providing the entertainment. Not only was she very difficult to work with, she directly insulted me over a minor misunderstanding. Unknowingly, I ate two left over samplers from a serving table (they were going to be thrown away) and because of this small mistake, which I immediately apologized for, she said I needed to "get my act together" and that I was "grazing" at her table. She refused to accept my apology and also continued harassing me about it after my apologies. It was one of the most unprofessional interactions I've ever had with a caterer, and I work nearly 50 weddings per year.

Not only was she that disrespectful to me, but after talking to the coordinators about her poor attitude and substantial lack of mutual respect in the workplace (which apparently they had heard that from others who had interacted with her that evening), they said she treated them the exact opposite: offering them samples and sushi as they passed by the work area. So it wasn't that she was incapable of behaving professionally and politely, it's that she intentionally chose not to. She chose to not treat professional peers (our entertainment company) and subordinates they way she treated her guests and employers, which to me was indicative of a character riddled with self-centered duplicity. I hope I never have to work with her again, and I would caution others about working with someone of her apparent nature.
