“I don’t often have 86 clients, [but] Corden’s 86’d today. McNally wrote in his letter, before detailing two unfortunate Corden outbursts written by restaurant managers.

Corden was so bad for G, he said, ‘Bring us another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all our drinks so far. This way I write any bad comments in yelp or anything like that,” the manager wrote.
