Omg. I felt this in my soul.
I didnt realize how awful my parents were until I started working in a sit down restaurant at 16.
They did ALL of this shit.

Literally had this kind of interaction on my birthday when my mom took me out for dinner at a microbrewery.
Server: Hi! My name is (name), and I'll be…
Mom: It's my son's birthday today? Do you have any free desserts?
Server: Umm, yeah, we have (lists desserts)
Mom: Okay, let's get a turtle sundae!
Server: Great! Would you like anything to drink?
Mom: orders beer flight and waters
Server: Okay, great! walks away
Mom: She must be new! Doesn't she know that the place makes most of its money off drinks?
Me: I mean, you interrupted her and disrupted her flow!

The whole “How can I help you?” “I’d like a million dollars/the winning lottery ticket” is just a true pain across all of the service industry. I am nowhere near paid enough to laugh at some customer’s unfunny jokes.

My mom was too sweet to the wait staff and always so happy and proud to be out with me and that I could treat her. She was so proud of me ☺️

I used to have a friend that would order their food as soon as the server walked up. Before they could say anything and also say they needed a to go box and they meant they wanted it all at once. So embarrassing!

I'm not a server and I wanted to CRY when I heard your parents talking to Bridgette that way. Probably why I'm on the food counter instead of the floor

If you have to be coached to receive a service you are paying for, the service people are terrible at their job

At least they felt bad? Feeling bad is the first step towards being better 😂

I hate going out with my family because my step dad snaps his fingers to get a waiter and says yes when they ask if everyone is ready EVEN THOUGH WE ARENT AND THEN I SEEM AWFUL BECAUSE I CANT MAKE A DECISION FAST WNOUGH RAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHHHH AND HE DOES THE THING OF SAYING WERE READY TO ORDER WHEN WERE ONLY READY TO ORDER DRINKS!!! I always try and like make a facial expression of “I’m sorry, I can’t stop him” and if we go out as a family they’ll start chatting in the middle of ordering and I’m just there like “imma leave”
