Also, dont fool around with people who handle your food, just an tip.
Bkmrk.
I’m so sick of the “white” people cracks. “Over-Privileged white people?” as opposed to over-privileged black, latino,asian,indian,?...if you don’t want your race, religion, whatever inserted and knocked, don’t do it to anyone else.
Completely unacceptable.
By the way, I get the article - it is right on about the brattiness of many. You can tell much about a person watching the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
This should have been linked to the site rather than copied and pasted in its entirety
rockrr's note: if you’re reading this and NOT going “HOW DARE ALAN NOT CALL OUT THE ASSHOLE TO HIS FACE,” you are an idiot. Thank you!
the great american public....but i will tell you that newly arrived immigres from India are far far worse
I suspect people who never worked food service or retail have no idea how many idiots and jerks there are in the world.
I used to work at walmart. You could write a book about the trolls dressed up as customers who frequent walmart.
If you are not a nice person to the waitress,you are not a nice person.
I believe everyone should work 6 months of retail and 6 months in restaurant service, mandatory. Maybe it would give people more appreciation for the people who work in these jobs. I was in a department store’s dressing room once and heard a mom tell her daughter to just throw the garments she didn’t want on the floor, because that’s what the staff gets paid for. Nice, huh?
One of the funniest women I've ever known responded perfectly to a similar routine. I knew her enough to keep quiet when a moron made a big deal about whipping his anatomy out. She looked straight at him and said something innocuous, as if she hadn't noticed what he did. He pointed and said, "do you know what this is?"
She looked. No reaction. Put on her reading glasses, bent down for a better look, and acted startled, as if she had just noticed. "It looks almost like a man's _______, only smaller."
Priceless. Whoever married her got a real gem.
Years ago I had a summer job slinging pizzas for Pizza Hut. On one occasion when we were short-handed I was bussing a table and discovered someone had changed a baby’s soiled diaper at their table! After wiping down the booth with Pine Sol I washed for about 5-10 minutes before I would even consider going back to our kitchen.
GROSS!
OK, this told me everything about this server I needed to know. She's pissed because the old man didn't shuffle fast enough. What a f@cking sh@t head!
"My boyfriend and I left to pay at that point. I'm glad; not sure I could take much more of the definition of over-privileged old white people." -- Andrea Bilestri
Why did you think they're over-privileged; because they dressed nicely?
Maybe you need to go find employment elsewhere, someplace where old people aren't allowed to go. You know, some rockin' dance club downtown... unless you're working at the local diner because you wouldn't be hired anywhere else.
Let's be honest, your "chosen profession" isn't a career path, it's usually the last resort for people with no education or job skills.
"Servers" come in a variety of flavors. There are those who are quick, friendly and attractive get the good jobs, the rest wind up hustling tables in the local diner. And there's nothing like getting a bitter waitress who knows she'll be there till the day she dies.
When I was a youngin’ I was a pump jockey at one of the last gas stations that gave full service in Tahoe.
There was one old a-hole of a man who loved to berate, scream and yell, and be a general pain in the ass. He especially loved yelling at me. He found a reason and did it every time he came in. He would look for me on my days and drive up. He would get furious.
His problem, or I should say mine since the customer is always right, I didn’t have a snapon tire gauge. This crotchety old geezer would drive in for free tire checks all the time and scream and yell when I didn’t have the snapon tire gauge. He even went so far as to have family and friends (doubt he had any) and have them ask me to check the tires. Out he popped on the passenger side to scream and yell.
I can only imagine how bitter and angry that old jerk was when he died not long after. Imagine going through life with your only goal is to make someone miserable and go out of your way to make others feel bad.... They become politicians.
Holy cow. That was fascinating.
In the future you will edit the body of the thread for profanity, understood?
