Restaurnat bitch

[mattm04]

I though I would ppst this story from a few moths ago....

A local restaurant deal along the lines of order from a specific selection of meals get a free dessert. This is how the ticket read...

If a meal came with a choice of sides it would read like this
CHIX PARM 5.99
ZITI SIDE 0.00

....


DESSERT X 2.95
PROMO -2.95
TOTAL AFTER PROMO 0.00

The table next to us got their ticket and the mother (mother, father and two kids no older than 12) screams at the server when she brings the check

MFH: *screaming*What the f**k is this s**t!
Server: ma'am calm down, what to you mean.
MFH: you charged me for my *GD* dessert!
S: If you look under it it will show where it is taken off and the total price of zero.
MFH: Take it off. I'm not paying for it.
S: You are n....
MFH: *pokes one of her kids* Billy tell this idiot I am not paying for this s**t!
Husband: *arrived form the bathroom* Honey, what is wrong
MFH: *screaming something i couldn;t understand*
H: *to server* can you pleas explain the bill?
Manager: *just arrived* Certainty, ....to show we took off any coupons and discounts it will subtract it from the appropaiate item and show you the subtotal
H: That makes sense, it makes it easy o see that everything was entered right
MFH: *now in a stern voiced to M*I'm a consumer advocate ...... you ruined my evening. My friends will hear about this.

The husband goes off w/ the server to pay the bill while MFH is still ranting. When her husband returns he tell the MFH that it is taken care of and they did not pay for the dessert. The husband takes the crying kid (because of MFH) and head out. The MFH decides to take the partially empty beverages and dump them in the plates, until as may plates overflow. She then dumps a plate of pasta on the table, and walks away.

I feel really for the husband. If it was me it would be very temping to be ex-husband.

I don't. He's an idiot for putting up with her.


"What's the matter, honey?", indeed. As she was screeching like a banshee in a public place in front of his kids?? My ex husband would have hauled my ass to the car, no questions asked. Then he would have come back and paid the bill and likely left a hefty tip for the servers' trouble.

How did AdminAssistant put it in another thread? "Take a big dose of 'chill the fuck out' and follow it with a shot of 'shut the fuck up'"

Ah, there we go.

I agree that this woman did not behave in a rational manner.
With the extreme behavior with the husband being calm it sounds like their are factors the rest of the world doesn't know.
Could she be on prescribed medications for mental stability that have gotten out of whack? Could her Dr being trying new meds? Could she have just lost a loved one and is acting out? With my imagination I could think of a whole lot of different possible scenerios. So yes, I applaud the husband for not making the situation worse.
True in some cases it would have been appropriate to remove the person acting out from the situation.
True the woman should not have created a big mess on the table.

Just some things to think about.

Aw, Becks. I'm flattered you thought of me.

[Becks]

I had just read that, and it seemed appropriate here, as well as in your own thread.

Can't tell you the number of times I snapped or acted rude to a retail worker or someone I didn't even know by accident just because other frustrations were coursing through me. Usually its just me grumbling when they say hi or going "eh..hey.." but man sometimes when the shit hits the fan, it really goes everywhere.

I really condemn people taking their crap and dirty laundry out on other people. Yeah life's a bitch. You know it. I know it. Life's not fair. The cards you were dealt were a better hand than some other people, worst than some other people. How YOU choose to DEAL with it is YOUR CHOICE and responsibility. I choose NOT to take it out on other people.

Well so do I. That doesn't mean that us imperfect mortals don't slip up sometimes.. and really my philosophy is that sometimes it's better to seem rude by saying very little than to blurt something out you might regret as this woman could hypothetically have done. It's just that sometimes the depression-to-mouth filter fails.

At which point you should have to deal with the consequences and do something to make up for it. If you make a mistake, it is your job to fix it, if you make a mistake and turn your temper on those who don't deserve it, you best make it up.

Shit happens, but at least have the decency clean up after yourself. That is what separates bitch from filter failure.

Let us focus more on the point of the thread, here, and take the argument over mental illness to Fratching, please?


Even if she was mentally ill or otherwise in an altered state of mind, which is not a known fact and should not be assumed, that does not make what she did any less an asinine, juvenile, destructive tantrum. EVERYTHING has a reason; just because one possible reason for what she did is mental illness doesn't excuse her actions, which are completely indefensible.

The people subjected to that tantrum didn't deserve to be subjected to that kind of outburst no matter what the cause. It's that simple.

[Evil Queen]

She needs to learn to read; it is clearly marked that the desserts are free.

[MoxisPilot]

I'm pretty sure I never would have married someone who behaved like that. Poor husband, nothing.

I'm sorry you had to put up with that.

[tamezin]

I guess I get it after reading so many postings from this site, I still have a hard time comprehending grown people behaving this way.

[tropicsgoddess]

I pity the husband to deal with a shrew like that SC. No way in hell would SO tolerate that behavior from me.
