Brown is probably having a rethink about her statement regarding her attitude when dining out at a restaurant.
Speaking on the “Table Manners” podcast with hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware, the actress shared that one of her pet peeves is “waiting a really long time to order.”
She said, “I’ve already looked at the menu in the car on the way here, and when they’re like, ‘We’ll just get your drinks orders and then come back, I’m like, ‘No, no, no, stand here, let’s just take the whole thing.’ It will make your life easier.’”
The actress also remarked that she prefers not to waste time paying for her food, adding that she is always quick to offer her card immediately after she is given the bill.
Brown added, “I’m like, ‘Let me give you my card just right now, and I must go on a walk to walk this food off.’”
Fans Called Out The Actress For Having An ‘Entitled’ Attitude

While Millie Bobby Brown thought there was nothing strange about her behavior when dining in restaurants, some fans were quick to call her out as “rude” and “entitled.”
“Tell me you never worked in the hospitality without telling me you never worked in hospitality,” one person said, per the Daily Mail.
A second person commented, “There is a reason servers don’t take the full order immediately. I don’t understand why people who have never worked in food hospitality think they should have a food podcast/ whatever this is.”
“Can’t go a minute without complaining about service workers,” a third remarked.
However, she did get the support of some other fans, who shared that they felt the same way.
One user said, “She is me, I am her….no waiting, looked at the menu the day [before], and I’m paying as they have taken my order…….NO LONG TING.”
Someone else commented, “Totally agree with all these points on this clip. I feel relieved it’s not just me! I’ll also add a pet peeve – when plates start being cleared whilst [people] at the table are still eating!”

Elsewhere in the interview, Brown doubled down on her comments, describing herself as “a very woke Karen.”
She said, “I do think it’s important to know where you went wrong and [there’s] always room for improvement,” adding that her fiance Jake Bongiovi “gets so embarrassed” when she makes reviews.
Speaking further, Brown said she tries “really hard” not to complain but that servers getting her order wrong is something she wouldn’t stand for.
“It’s just — if I’ve ordered a chicken sandwich…and when I look into the bag, and there’s not one thing I’ve asked for, it kills me,” Brown remarked.
She continued, “And sometimes my fiancé orders a drink, and it’s not like the drink he wanted, and so I’m like, ‘Excuse me, sorry. This isn’t the drink.’ Jake’s like, ‘Please, I’ll drink it.’ And I’m like, ‘Why would you do that? You live your life once. Drink that drink and drink the right one.”

Earlier in the month, Brown responded to critics who called her out over her changing accent, per Page Six.
It came after she drew attention when she changed her British accent to an American one during media appearances to promote her new film, “Damsel.”
In an interview with TikToker Max Balegde, the actress claimed that she wasn’t doing it intentionally, explaining that her accent change is triggered by her environment.
“I’m an actor. I grew up in the public eye. I grew up in America…I come to set, and I’m an actor, and I adapt,” she said. “And so I want to mimic people.”
“Now that I’m in England, I want to replicate that! I don’t do it intentionally, and I’m sorry if it offends you!” Brown added. “But listen, I am trying my best!”

Amid uproar over her accent change, “Elvis” star Austin Butler’s dialect coach, Erik Singer, came to Brown’s defense.
Singer told TMZ that people need to relax “cause MBB’s 100% right.”
He added, “I really wish people would lay off of actors, and most especially that they’d lay off of criticizing people’s accents.”
Singer also said it is normal for accents to change, especially when people are talking to other individuals, and that this phenomenon is called “accommodation” or “conversation” convergence.
