  • they just suck.

    This woman walked in the resturant today with her three kids and her mother. Her kids range in ages of 7-9. being a school day I was wondering why they were not at school. I did not say anything however.

    She lets her children run all over the lobby and climb the shelf the holds extra silverware crayons and kids menus. Yes they climbed the shelf.

    When our wonderful hostess tried to direct them to either a table to accomidate the 5 of them or one of our spacious booths that hold 6 large people, she got all pissy. She demanded to sit in one of our booths that seats 4.

    When I went to take their drink order her kids started shouting things at me like I have a crayon and I want chicken. The children would not keep their voices down or stop talking so I could hear their mother and grandmother order their drinks. the same thing happens when I take their food orders.

    After I take their food orders I was informed by the mother that she is expecting a 6th person. and demanded I move two tables together right then for her. Now mind you that these people did not care that I had 4 other tables to attend to. for in their minds they were my sole responcibility in life.

    Understand that when she has made any requests she walks up to me either when I am talking to another table or bringing another table a try full of food. It seems that she expects me to drop whatever I am doing to service her.

    I bring out her food and amazingly I got it all right. At least she told em she was surprised. somehow she thought I was too stupid to get two cheese burger and three kids mac and cheeses right.

    they then eat and the kids run all over the resturant and are loud the entire time. All my tables left early because of this. And i mean as in when their food came up they asked for a box and the check right then.

    They somehow eat all the food then stack all the plates on the table and yell at me from across the resturant that I HAD to come over and clean this mess up RIGHT NOW!

    I bring her the check and she pays YAY she is leaving! Or so I thought. She comes up to me again in the middle of another tables food order. She has come to inform me that yes, the 6th person is now on their way. She also proceeds to tell me exactly what they will be ordering.

    I put the food order in and a little while later the 6th person shows up. It appears to be a teenage son of hers. Yet again why is he not in school?

    At this point she announces to me that i am to go get her more hot water and a new rasberry tea bag for her. I do so and when I hand them to her she scoffs at me. "duh, I need a new cup, NOW!" I am now on the recieving end of dirty looks from her for not reading her mind.

    All the while the kids are running around like maniacs.

    They eventually leave. I could not be happier. They stayed for 3 hours. and I made up a toatl of 6 dollars off them.

    Thats right i lost money from other tables because of their horrible children. They took up two of my tables for 3 hours. And they were rude as heck.

    I hate them.

    Wow... um... just... wow...

    I think what little respect I had for people in general just died. And I don't even mean like, peacefully passed on in it's sleep. I mean like, shot. At point blank range. With a shotgun. In the genitals. And then rubbed with sandpaper until it bled out.

    I'm deeply sorry you had to deal with that. If I'd been one of your other customers, I would have been going over to try to get mommy outofcontrol to leave the establishment ASAP. Especially once her party had finished eating. There's no reason for people to stay seated at a restaurant wasting their server's tables for a time after they've finished for more than a couple minutes. Especially not someone as unbearable as that woman. I'm really, really sorry.

      Around here, the last time someone asked a parent to keep control of there kids, it resulted in a fight, Police getting called and someone going to prison for 6 months.


      (From the the local news)

      Mother's Day brawl sparked by crying baby: Five people were arrested after a Mother's Day brawl that shut down a crowded Golden Corral. Authorities said Christina Smith, 56, repeatedly asked Sylvia Jones to quiet her 1-year-old child, who was sitting in a high chair screaming. When the infant continued to scream, Ms. Smith shouted at the baby to “shut up.” Ms. Jones responded by punching the woman, igniting the brawl that involved as many as 15 people in the restaurant. About 10 Police units responded to the melee with an estimated 15 people involved inside the restaurant. Five people were arrested and six people were hurt, including four who were taken to hospitals for minor injuries.

        it took all I had not to stab her with my straw.........on the other hand my coworkers learned how depraved I am today. I spend all my time in the back muttering what I would like to do to this lady.

        I ultimatly see this is a bigger push to get the research started on my dream of owning my own bar. So I can tell the customers like that to shove it.

          I just have to say, that sucks. (lol)

          Back in the day, myself and a group of 8-15 other people would go to a local family owned restaurant every Sunday and hang out for 3-4 hours. We had gotten permission from the owner, and we mutually laid down some rules.

          1. Everyone who came in had to order something. (Owner's rule)
          2. Everyone had to leave a tip. (owner's rule)
          3. The tip had to be the exact amount (or more) of your check. (double if you only bought a drink) (our rule)
          4. You must clean up after yourself.

          This worked out great for us and our sweetheart of a waitress. I just wish more people realized the amount of money they are taking away from the waitstaff everytime they sit there for hours on end and then don't leave a tip.

              Kids are probably home-schooled, which translates to a couple of math problems, a page of reading and then it's play time.

              Frankly, they should have been tossed. They drove away more business than they brought in. A privately-owned establishment can toss anyone out at any time, as long as it's not for a discriminatory reason.

              If they show up again, they should be told that their business is not wanted.

                Not necessarily, at least for those of us that take it seriously. There are always those that use home schooling as an excuse for their laziness. And I hate them for it. Makes the rest of us look bad

                      I agree. The problem is that these mothers seem to use it as an excuse to not get an outside job, or to appear as extra-dedicated, or because their church pushes them to do it, rather than as doing the best thing for their children. I was thinking of one of the families that appeared on "Wife Swap" a couple of seasons ago.

                      We've considered it for our older son. There's a charter school system that specializes in it, but my husband would have to do it, and I don't know that we really could give my son the time he needs to succeed, as we both work.

                        I have applied at a few places, have not heard anything back. I don't think it has been even a week yet.

                          It's bad enough that the bitch had no consideration for you.

                          What boggles the mind is that she had no consideration for anyone around her, either.

                          Had she interruped my waitperson while he/she was taking my order, I would not have hesitated to tell her to fuck off.

                          I just don't understand why some people think they are better than everyone else.

                              I have applied at a few places, have not heard anything back. I don't think it has been even a week yet.
                              I would like to state for the record that I would happily do just that to have a boss who actually had the stones to throw out bad customers.

                              Unfortunately, I'm still four years from being legal to drink, so I dunno if I could be legally employed at a bar...
